Recently, one of the most notable leaders of the Elite Guardians, Iosephus, made a triumphant return to the army. Today, we will uncover the facts surrounding his return and examine his history.

HISTORY
Iosephus, also known as Joshep/JoshepPeter1, is an army veteran, well-known for his time in the Elite Guardians. He made his start with EGCP, joining in May 2019 and staying until the army’s closure in 2020. From here, he bounced around armies before finding himself in command of the Os Mascarados Army. After his stint with OMA, he gained recognition in the Special Weapons and Tactics as a Major General, but would soon go inactive.
Iosephus would return in 2023, becoming a leader of the Elite Guardians. It was here he made his mark, leading the army through World War IX, commanding them to a 32-0 record in the war. Following WWIX, Joshep would also lead EGCP in their first war against the Army of Club Penguin and reach the Legends Cup XIII semi-finals. Unfortunately, on September 5, fellow EGCP leader Fitsuki announced that Joshep would be retiring from the army. At his farewell event, the army saw a max of 40, highlighting Iosephus’ profound effect on the Guardians.

An Elite Return
On December 1, current Elite Guardians leader Lana announced that Iosephus would be returning to EGCP command. Lana commented on the success which Joshep had brought to the army in the Golden Age of their second generation, and hoped he could help establish the same for this modern iteration. With Iosephus returning as the 24th leader of the army, we are hopeful he can improve upon EGCP’s currently lacklustre performance, when compared to their historically marvelous dominance.

To find out more about his new leadership position, Club Penguin Armies contacted Joshep for an interview.
Yes, it’s definitely a tough task, especially at a time when Club Penguin isn’t as popular as it once was. But recently I’ve had the support of some veterans from OMA (Os Mascarados Army) to help with recruitment contributions and plans for the renewal of our group. Right now, the leaders project is to engage the community in every possible way whether through recruitment, presence at events, or activity in our chat.
Despite the countless rebellions and divisions that EGCP has faced in such a short time, we have shown who is truly willing to put us back on the map — recruiting, participating, and strengthening. The history of EGCP will not be about our enemies, but about those who had the courage to rebuild it
With one of the Elite Guardians’ most decorated leaders returning, the army appears to be in good hands. Despite the turbulence they have faced recently, we are confident this addition will help stabilize them. But what do you think of Iosephus’ return? How will he impact the army? Could we witness another EGCP Golden Age?
