Josiah is Light's survey in Ghost Light. Light uses Josiah to survey life on earth for his Catalog. Josiah changes form to match the dominant species of the planet and every time he does so he leaves behind Husks. While on earth he retains the form of a victorian gentleman. Two years before the events of Ghost Light, Josiah awakened in Light's ship that had landed in the celler of Gabriel Chase. He kills George Pritchard the owner of the house after he saw light's ship and he also put Inspector Mackenzie in a trance and placed him in a drawer after he was sent to find out about George's disapearence. He makes Lady Pritchard his housekeeper and her daughter, Gwendoline his ward. When Reverend Ernest Matthews comes to the house he is appaled by Josiah's theories of evoloution so Josiah feeds him bannanas and by some manner turns him into an ape.

When an invitation comes come to go to the palace the pair plan to go together and from there shoot the Queen. This plan is thwarted when Redvers decides to take Control instead. Josiah leaves the house using the now dispersed Light's ship.
