Captain Joans(VVM002) was born in the Vivian on November 5, 1995. His mother was Vivian, and his father was a Drie Doring male. He was born in a litter of four; his litter-mates were Silks(VVM001), Asphodel(VVF003), and VVU9501. VVU9501 was predated, but Vivian managed to raise Silks, Asphodel, and Captain Joans almost entirely on her own. Captain Joans remained in the group for five years and became the dominant male after the long-term dominant Stinker left the group when Vivian died. Rhian became the new dominant female. In 1997, a group of Young Ones males joined the Vivian and forced Captain Joans out of the group.
