Who is Joel Miller? | The Last of Us

Discover the story of Joel Miller! ⁨@AJM_nerdcore⁩ breaks down Joel's emotional journey and the importance of his moral ambiguity throughout the game. Joel (voiced by Troy Baker and played by Pedro Pascal) is a carpenter with a love for music. He's a single father - his ex-wife left after the birth of his daughter Sarah. We are introduced to Joel on the brink of tragedy, seeing the beautiful relationship between father and daughter and then, heartbreakingly soon after, the subsequent death of Sarah on Outbreak Day. The crucial moment of Sarah's death creates a turning point for Joel. He slips into a more brutal way of living as a smuggler in Boston, bringing out his violent side and savage survival instincts. This change in character creates the question: Is it better to be good or to be alive? However, this hardened smuggler's world is changed when he is tasked with escorting Ellie (voiced by Ashley Johnson and played by Bella Ramsey). Ellie represents hope, with her immunity to the Cordyceps infection, suggesting that a cure could be created. Joel must take Ellie to a Firefly drop-off point in Colorado, so they can begin the hopeful process of creating a cure from her.
