Admiral Dr. Kiran Joshmaul, MD/CX (Ret.) (born April 11, 1960, Edinburgh, Scotland) is the primary character of Joshua Underwood. Joshmaul was created in 1999; originally, he was portrayed by legendary British horror actor Peter Cushing. As the years went by, Underwood used in-game art from the game Icewind Dale to portray him before - at the suggestion of his friend Rich Terry, alias Herb McWarren - he decided on Brad Dourif, in 2003. Joshmaul has been portrayed by Dourif ever since.
