Joker, along with the other members of the Noah's Ark Circus, parades the streets of London, in order to uplift the spirits of people and garner attention for their circus troupe. Joker entertains the audience by performing tricks. Sometime later, Joker tried to help Kelvin with his obsession over Ciel Phantomhive, such as when he relayed information of Ciel's assumed death and when he prevented Kelvin from attending Ciel's sacrifice. Joker called living at Renbourn Workhouse "heaven." After some time, they decided to start a circus, and Joker assigned them stage names it is understood that Joker is a stage name-however, not even the Grim Reapers have a record of his birth name. One day, while sitting under a tarp in the rain, Baron Kelvin found them and took them in. However, in the belief that the Tooth Fairy would give her more coins, Doll later attempted to take out more teeth that were not wobbly, to the dismay of the others. The next morning, an oblivious Doll showed off her coin to them, stating how happy she was that they could eat bread with it and an exhausted but happy Joker laughed along with her. They were relieved to see they made it on time as they placed it beside her whilst she was sleeping.

Joker, Beast, Dagger, Peter, Wendy, and Jumbo then proceeded to work on manual chores earnestly all night long in order to earn a single coin for Doll. Joker opposed Peter's idea of stealing, stating that he had a feeling it would be wrong to use stolen money "this time". Beast commented that if Doll did not get her coin the next morning, she would be extremely upset, to which Joker decided that he should attempt to earn something. When he angrily questioned why he did not allow him to speak, Joker agreed with Jumbo that it was hard to break the truth to her whilst seeing her smile, additionally musing that gap teeth are too cute to be legal. Peter began to retort that the Tooth Fairy did not actually exist but was prevented from doing so by Jumbo. She gleefully exclaimed that it fell out, believing that she would later get a coin from the Tooth Fairy and promised them that she would buy them all bread afterwards. In 1879, Doll rushed up to Joker one day with a tooth in her hand. Joker met the other first-string circus members in an East End alley, which he calls "a gutter where every dirty being emptied its bowels" and where "everyone in this gutter was thrown away." They had no hope of getting work, and were not even skilled thieves. He had a mother, a prostitute named Karen Taylor, but she abandoned him for an unknown reason. Joker was born on April 2, 1863, without a right arm.

His motive for complying with Kelvin is that he believes he is protecting his brothers and sisters back at the Renbourn Workhouse by doing so. Joker displays great care for the other members of the circus, but puts pleasing Baron Kelvin, no matter how abhorrent he finds his requests to be, above them. Despite this outer appearance, though, he is very serious about his duties and does not easily give in to emotions. Joker is a kind, easy-going, and cheerful individual, who strives for the mirth of others, as shown when he intentionally drops balls he was juggling on his head for the amusement of the audience. Additionally, his right arm is missing, and replaced by a skeleton arm prosthetic. He also dons a white glove on his left hand. Joker's outfit is comprised of a yellow bow, a purple coat trimmed with gold draped over his shoulders and used like a cape, a black and lavender checkered vest with a white ruffled button-up shirt worn underneath, puffy short pants with diamonds on the seam, and black and white boots that reach to the knees and curl at the toes. He frequently wears light-blue make-up, which he uses to paint a teardrop under his left eye, and has multiple piercings in each ear-four on the left and three on the right-wearing thick silver hoop earrings. Joker is a twenty-five-year-old man with purple eyes and long orange hair with extensions which are bleached at the tips and have some strands braided.
