Background
Not much is known about him,but Joker confessed to Dovelyn that he has been living in Somnumia for a long time and that it felt like he "just popped out of nowhere to exist".However,during the events of Season of the Witch,he reveals to the Fifth that he was once human,and that he became like this in order to save his little brother,who might have died if he didn't sign a contract to the Memory Keeper.However,this came at a price.The Joker's family has their memories wiped clean of him,so that they won't remember having a child next to his little brother.Because of the contract,Axel has no choice but to stay in Memoria to serve the Memory Keeper and his/her denizens.
