Early life[]

Defiance 1x01 009

Young Joshua Nolan.

Joshua Nolan was in April, 2003. He lived in St. Louis, Missouri along with his parents and older sister, Rebecca. In 2013, the Nolans were in the park near the St. Louis Arch when the Votan fleet first arrived. As the days passed, Nolan believed, as did many others, that the Votans were peaceful beings who merely wanted to share the planet. (Defiance: Pilot (Part 1))

Shortly thereafter, the Pale Wars began. Joshua's parents were vaporized in a Votan attack and Rebecca and he joined a military faction designed to resist the aliens. Rebecca raised Joshua from that point forward and they shared a common code: "We live together, we die together".

Josh and Rebecca worked under Jon Cooper of the Iron Demons and were charged with securing an ammunition bunker when tragedy struck. A young Irathient soldier entered the bunker under the guise of surrendering. Nolan trusted him and lowered his weapon, at which point the Irathient raised his own and opened fire, killing Rebecca. Nolan flew into a rage and beat the Irathient to death with the butt of his gun. (Defiance: History Rhymes)

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Joshua Nolan had a pet golden retriever when he was a boy. He was playing with him in the park on the day the Votans arrived. [2]
