[edit] Affiliations
- People*
Brother Sentinel - He's Brother Sentinel's actual brother.
Paragon Police Department - Joe is a Homicide detective in PPD, assigned to Kings Row.
[edit] Personality
Josef Malkov is a candid, quiet man. While open before, his joining with Torch of Vigilance has caused him to be quiet and reserved. However, he has his brother's temper, though he expresses it and controls it more readily. However, in recent times, as his brain recovers from psychic burnout, he has regained a few psychic abilities. Unfortunately, this caused his mind to split from Torch's within his mind(s). While still "joined at the hip," Torch takes up an advisory position within their joined body, his voice only audible to Joe. As a result, in times of extreme stress, Joe will lapse into a verbal argument with an unseen partner - Torch. When it's pointed out, he usually reacts with embarrassment.
[edit] Powers
Kheldian Integration: Joe is a joined Peacebringer. As such, he has the powers most others do.
Limited Telepathy: After his Psychic Burnout, Joe lost his psionic abilities. So far, he's naturally regained a limited form of telepathy, that allows him to sense emotions, and communicate telepathically with other telepaths.
[edit] Equipment
As a Peacebringer, equipment is secondary. But regardless, he keeps his service revolver on him at all times, along with his police scanner and radio,

Undecided.
[edit] Weakness and Limitations
Vulnerability to Psionics: Rather than strengthen and dull him to psychic attack, the burnout actually made Joe more vulnerable to psionic energies. He tends to avoid these things.
Phobia of QAGs: On Torch's side of things, the combined entity Enigma Joe has developed a phobia of Quantum Array weapons and Void Stalkers. While Joe maintains his cool most of the time, he describes seeing one as "Hearing Torch freak out, shouting to kill it, like a cornered animal." He loses some control of his kheldian energy manipulation as a result.
[edit] Publicity
While the Peacebringer Enigma Joe is publicly known and affiliated with PPD, it's not known outside of a few people that Enigma Joe is actually the humble homicide detective Josef Malkov. How he keeps up the deception has yet to be discovered, but it's thought that his Lieutenant, partner, an one or two higher ups in PPD(Likely including Blue Steel) know and help him cover his tracks.
"Who is Enigma Joe?" is a common question posed to PPD. "We don't know, but we hope he knows we appreciate him."
[edit] Rumors
It's been rumored that Josef may leave PPD to enter the Private Investigation business with Enigma Joe as his "Business Partner."
