A Ghost who was steward of Richten Haus in life. He is the father of Gretta and Elise Bierce. The death of his wife Marlene Bierce in childbirth broke his resolve, causing him to come to hate his existence in the service of the Van Richtens. He later became an embezzler to affod his family a secure future away from Richten Haus, but his theft made him become paranoid. Josef killed Casimir upon suspicion of the theft of his journal in preparation for blackmail.[1] Josef's bitterness alienated him from Karl Mueller, and Karl later murdered him upon Josef's rejection of Karl's marriage proposal to Elise.[2]

Josef's spirit now haunts the domain of Richten Haus as one of the its "Daylight Ghosts".[1]
