Mean Was Joe Green is a wandering old man. A graduate and native of Shing Jea Island, this wandering spirit has traveled far and wide. A teacher who is always learning, Joe Green preaches one message: The good are strong.
His age is unknown, and he sometimes acts like he was around when ancient events unfolded, however it is clear that while he is very kind and gentle, he draws a very clear line between kindness and meekness. Some terrible betrayal took place in his past that has made him preach constant readiness, however, his wisdom and patience have kept him from losing trust in the goodness of man kind.
Joe Green embraces all and sees potential for greatness in all. Lamees is his protege and he tries to bring her along slowly into realizing her potential, not just as a magician, but as a powerful leader of men. His greatest challenge seems to be to convince her that Kyle is not the worst affliction that the Gods sent upon Tyria. He is constantly amazed and amused by T-1's knowledge, Esmeralda's wit and Yasmeen's innocence. One of my favorite characters.
