Junior is the secondary antagonist and potential tritagonist in The Dark Pictures Anthology's first installment, Man of Medan. He, along with Danny and his older brother Olson, is a pirate fisherman who kidnaps the protagonists in order to rob them. He was voiced and motion captured by Chimwemwe Miller and was modelled on Michael Addo.
Appearance[]
Junior is a man with a dark complexion. He has dark brown eyes, full lips, shaved black hair, and a slightly noticeable stubble.
Junior wears a gray tank top with military print and a dark green bandana with a lotus flower in the center. He also dons ripped dark purple shorts and walks barefoot. Junior's accessories include a long silver necklace falling on his chest and a purple watch with a black bracelet on his left wrist. Junior also has a pair of tattoos (left wrist and entire right arm)
During storms and attacks on the protagonists, Junior wears a dark green raincoat like the other pirates. As the game progresses, Junior's clothes become slightly dirty and wet as he moves around the ship. He also can have an injury on the forehead.
Personality[]
At the beginning of the story, Junior is shown as demanding and cruel like Olson, being aggressive toward the protagonists (mostly Conrad) during the invasion of the Duke. However, his aggression has justification, as Junior is either following Olson's orders or harboring personal grudges (such as against Conrad, who mocked the pirates in the evening).
In reality, Junior, like Danny, is condescending to the group as he gives Alex a flashlight when he complains about the darkness in the room where protagonists were locked and criticizes Olson's actions toward the group since they were only supposed to rob them and not take them as prisoners.
Under the influence of Manchurian Gold, Junior becomes nervous and ready to shoot the protagonists because of hallucinations, even though he doesn't want to kill them. However, after dispelling the hallucinations, Junior becomes grateful to the protagonists and takes their side.
Biography[]

Main Story[]
Act 1[]
While riding speedboat, the pirate encounters the Duke of Milan and accidentally brushes the dive buoy, damaging the boat. Olson complains to Fliss and Conrad, to which the latter taunts them by throwing money in the water, causing the embittered trio to sail away.
At night, Junior and the other pirates sneak onto the Duke of Milan and take the protagonists hostage, particularly Junior ambushes Conrad. After locking the group in the main bedroom, Junior goes out on deck. When Conrad is attempting to escape, Junior takes part in his capture and may be taken hostage by him. Regardless of the outcome of the escape attempt, when the protagonists are taken back to their quarters, Junior goes to follow them. During the storm, Junior and the others go out on deck and he becomes one of those who sees the SS Ourang Medan.
Act 2[]
Thinking that there is Manchurian Gold on the ship (which the pirates have already learned about), the trio come aboard and take the protagonists with them. The pirates locks the group in one of the rooms and Junior stays to watch them. The protagonists successfully escape from the pirate (though Junior can catch Fliss) causing him to follow Olson and Danny to cargo hold. Upon encountering the pirates, Junior informs them of the situation, after which he sets out to find the protagonists.
Act 3[]
After the two protagonists who went down for the generator escape from Olson, they encounter Junior, who has fallen under the influence of Manchurian Gold and is already hallucinating. The pirate begins to threaten the duo with a gun and asks them about the mist and whether the protagonists have inhaled it. Depend on decisions made, Junior will regain conscious or kill himself, possibly one of the protagonists in the process as well.
If Junior is alive, he along with the other protagonists will notice Olson on the balcony. Junior will then follow the two protagonists into a hole in which a flooded hold with a bulkhead leading to Cargo Hold 2 will be seen. In the second variation of Flooded, Junior will convince Olson that they can get out of the ship alive by giving the distributor cap to the protagonists. If Olson survives, Junior will lead Olson to find a way out. Otherwise, Junior will mourn his brother's death.
The End[]
At dawn, Junior and any other surviving protagonists gather on the weather deck. His further fate depends on the player's decisions:
- If the protagonists were able to escape on their own or were rescued by Conrad, Junior will leave the Ourang Medan either on The Duke or on the coast guard boat.
- If the protagonists are stranded on the Ourang Medan, Junior will try to sail away on the dead Duke.
- If the protagonists called the military and stranded on the ship, the military will fly over and either arrest Junior or shoot him.
