Biography

Using the Book of Sins

Years ago, Lucy and Joseph Bauer found the Darkhold buried in the basement of an abandoned house, the family home of the person who had killed the book's previous owner. They excitedly opened the book, only to see that the pages were all blank. When words began to appear on the pages, they soon realized they were each seeing the words in their first language - Lucy in English and Joseph in German - as if the book was reading them.[1]

Together, they worked on a machine that defied the laws of physics. The machine blew up, "killing" everyone except for Eli Morrow and Joseph, whom Morrow put into a coma because he blamed him for what happened.[2]

Reunion with Lucy and Death

Lucy eventually found Joseph in his hospital bed. She stuck her fingers into his head to wake him from his coma, demanding to know where the book was.[2]

Joseph's encounter with the ghost of his wife left him in the same paranoid condition as Melinda May and Chen. Before he died, Joseph told Phil Coulson that he had buried the book in the same place he found it and that it was too late for them to get it before Lucy.[1]
