Joel Morricone is, in his own words, a "guest blogger, coffee drinker, white hat wearer, and pundit for hire." He wrote an article on a robbery attempt foiled by a stranger. He wanted to know whether the stranger was a self-appointed sheriff, and espoused the idea that such vigilantism should be welcomed, given the high crime rate.[1]

Trivia[ | ]

  • The last name Morricone is most likely a reference to Ennio Morricone, a famous Italian composer who was responsible for the scores for many classic Westerns, most notably Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
  • There is speculation that Joel Morricone may actually be a pen name for Cole Cassidy. This is based upon Joel's self-description as a "white hat" and "pundit for hire," his opinions in the article, and his name. McCree was, briefly, known as Joel prior to the game launch[2] and has chatter with Sombra where he remarks "Don't know what you heard, but my name's not Joel. Best remember that."
