Brother Joseph
A survivor tied to the Cult of Second Chance, freed at Adams Villa after you clear it and earn the church's trust.
Who he is
Brother Joseph is the recruit most closely connected to the Cult of Second Chance, the forest cult that treats the undead as children of God. You reach him at Adams Villa, one of the suburb maps, after clearing the zombies there and getting on good terms with the church. His presence ties your militia to the cult's story and standing, which matters because faction reputation shapes who is willing to join you.
How to recruit him
Adams Villa has to be cleared before Brother Joseph can be freed, so approach it with a squad ready for a real fight rather than a quick sweep. Keeping the cult friendly rather than hostile is the safe path to adding him and other cult-aligned survivors, since siding hard against a faction can put its people out of reach. If you intend to commit four ally votes to the cult, recruiting Brother Joseph fits naturally into that route.
