Joshua Hallal

Joshua Hallal is an extremely talented spy and was the only student at Spy School who was better than Erica Hale. He faked a bomb explosion in his dorm room and joined SPYDER. From then, he has tried to cause mayhem and make money through evil schemes, which have all been foiled by Benjamin Ripley.

Appearance & Personality
Joshua has piercing green eyes and a mane of dark brown hair. After the "incident" in Spy Camp where he plummets to near death, he wears an eyepatch, a hook for a hand, and a mechanical leg. He got his eyepatch not from the fall, but because a bug flew into his eye and it was his first day with a hook. As a result, when he tried to wipe his eye to get the fly out, his hook caught in his eye and impaled it, thus causing him to have to get an eye patch. Ben describes him in Evil Spy School as "an extremely well dressed evil pirate."

Joshua is very cunning, deceitful, and talented in combat and shooting. He was formerly regarded as the cream of the crop at the CIA Academy of Espionage, only to turn evil later. Aside from his two bionic limbs, he has also broken the other two appendages after falling in a cenote and off the Eiffel Tower.

Skills & Abilities
Joshua knows karate, judo, Brazilian jujitsu, and Lithuanian knife fighting. Even with a missing hand, he still has good accuracy with a gun. He now has a robotic leg and a bionic hand that can shoot explosives. Still, Joshua is an extremely good fighter. He could knock out Erica.

Erica Hale
It is pretty clear that Joshua cared for Erica when he was still good and the feeling may have even been mutual. Now he has turned cold, as she has. But as shown in the second book, he still has feelings for Erica.
