Joxer - Joxer's Family

Joxer's Family

Joxer is the youngest of identical triplets. Although he told the demi-god Lachrymose that his father, a warlord, died in a drunken chariot accident, and his mother, a musician, was then killed by his father's creditors this contradicts earlier statements that his father is in prison. His two brothers, also played by Ted Raimi, are:

• Jett, seen in the episodes "King of Assassins" and "It Takes One To Know One", is an uncouth, ruthless assassin who would sell his own grandmother. Jett bullies Joxer in what he thinks of as brotherly affection, but this irritates and demeans Joxer. However, Jett does seem to love Joxer, in his own bullying, hectoring way: he kills a villain who is threatening his brother - it is all right for him to pick on Joxer, as his brother, but woe betide anyone else who does it. He also tells Joxer that he "has a good thing going" (with Xena and Gabrielle) and warns him "Don't blow it," tapping him on the head to reinforce the lesson.
• Jace, an extremely camp and extravagant singer of popular music, who wears brightly coloured clothes, flared trousers and oversized codpieces and affects a bad Spanish accent. Joxer cannot bear to be associated with him because he says his brother is "different" and "ruining his life". Ultimately, they reconcile in the episode Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire.
