Arrival in Rapture
Josh Ranson arrived in Rapture in 1946 along with his family. His father was one of Rapture's finest contractors, Martin Ranson. Josh completed school and took a job in Lothario's Bakery in the Farmer's market and enjoyed the prosperous capitalism at the time. He was a supporter of Andrew Ryan, but openly opposed Ryan's social policy. He also found Fontaine to be a crook in search of power.

1958
In early 1958 his father and mother disappered. He had an appointment with Sophia Lamb scheduled, but found her lack of interest in his parents induvidual lives disgusting. He had thoughts of turning to Atlas, but beleving in capitalism, he found Atlas to just be trying to take what he had not earned. When he heard some residents talking about how they were barely getting enough for thier oxygen bill as he was riding a trolly to his home, he lost it and blurted out how it was inhuman for anybody to sell oxygen and have people need to buy it to live. Some officers sitting in a nearby seat approached him and pulled him out of his chair. He pulled his arm away and one of the officers shot him in the arm, but luckly he pulled the emergancy brake and escaped through an air tunnel. Some officers forced their way into his apartment in Athena's Glory, but he and his brother, Mark were already missing.( there are 'missing' pictures of them in the Adonis Resort ) They were searching for the pair up until New Year's of 1959, when the search was called off, according to Police Chief Sullivan in February of 1958, Josh was probably "bumped off by some spook". His location and status remain a mystery.
