According to a vision Joxer receives from the [[Darkness]] when flying into the portal on the [[Traveler]] made by [[The Witness]], Joxer was born Eric to a pre-Golden Age family, having children around the time of the [[Ares One]] launch.

Rededicating himself to the [[Vanguard]]'s mission of serving the [[Last City]], Joxer cut all his ties with the Drifter and worked to atone for his past actions. When the [[Black Fleet]] [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|arrived]] in the [[Sol System]], Joxer decided to visit the Drifter aboard the ''Derelict'', and was greeted with suspicion by the shady Lightbearer. Joxer claimed he was not there for any trouble and instead wished to issue a friendly warning, which only further angered the paranoid Drifter. Exasperated by the Drifter's hostility, Joxer noted the arrival of the Pyramids and the rumors that they had been responsible for the [[Collapse]]. If they were hostile and agents of the [[Darkness]], then Joxer believed the Drifter's association with the Darkness and use of Dark Motes might draw others to attack him. The Drifter dismissed his warning and wondered if he might be the one intending to take him out, but Joxer noted he was simply trying to make amends after what he had done, which included giving the Drifter a suggestion to lay low. With one last glance at the Dark Motes and a wish that that the Drifter would see reason, Joxer departed as the Drifter taunted him about still wearing the Gambit Prime armor despite his changed ways.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[Witherhoard]]''</ref>

Joxer was one of the Guardians selected to attempt to follow the Witness through the portal on the Traveler prior to the return of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. Despite his reluctance and the [[Cabal]]'s warnings, Joxer's Ghost dismissed the mission as like the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]], which they had participated in and survived before. As Joxer flew his jumpship into the portal, he began to experience a vivid hallucination of what is strongly implied to be his pre-Guardian life, and his sense of time began to distort rapidly as the portal began pulling his Ghost and ship across time. Nonetheless, Joxer continued to force his ship deeper into the portal, chasing the vision the Darkness had given him. It is suggested that at this point, the portal ejected Joxer, his Ghost, and his ship, causing them to be partially liquified from the shock of returning to normal reality.

After Joxer's death, the Drifter made an amulet and inscribed Joxer's name on it to place in memorial at the Ironwood tree at the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]]'s courtyard. As he placed the amulet before the tree he lamented that dumb heroics would get someone killed everytime and that Joxer would have had a cleaner death in Gambit.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/5/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Lore]] [[Lore:To_Old_Friends#Grimoire:_The_Ironwood_Tree|The Ironwood Tree]]''</ref>
