Also known as Joss, Don

First appearance: gullible s travels

As a supporting figure in Gullible’s Travels, Don Joss is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.

Don Joss moves through the narrator's world of card games, bets, and informal alliances, where every man is looking for an angle. He embodies the low-stakes rivalry and easy camaraderie that define the group's social texture. His involvement in the narrator's affairs, however minor, contributes to the atmosphere of genial suspicion that colors the story's early episodes.
