Joshua Cantwell

Joshua Cantwell is a police officer. He is the current figurehead of the Toronto Police District, and often shows up on the scene of disturbances in the city to represent them to the media, as well as conducting front line investigations.

He has the ability to control time, mostly using it to stop or slow down targets in field, as well as projectiles thrown or shot his way. He is very competent, although rarely jumps into the fray, preferring to leave it to other mafia members to handle.

Although the timeline is unclear, at some point Joshua cut a deal with Augustine Ingram. In exchange for the corruption of the Toronto PD, turning a blind eye to mafia shenanigans and covering up crime scenes, Augustine offered the Ingram's protection of the city as a whole (avoiding undue chaos, and snuffing out competing criminals) and to bankroll the PD. Joshua held out until it seemed inevitable that he would have to cave in or else face the downfall of Toronto, and tiredly agreed.

Joshua is often exhausted, and subdued when the players encounter him. Joshua keeps to himself for the most part, only speaking when spoken to, and often to Val Fontaine rather than his partner Bo or other members of the mafia. He drives a blue Ford truck, and this is often loaned to the mafia.

His desk at the police headquarters is often messy, a slew of paperwork and mountain of coffee cups. He keeps pictures of a dark haired girl, identified as his niece during the Park Ransom Session. He is similar to a father figure to her- having never married or fathered children himself. He does not speak about her.
