From everything I've seen and read thus far, I am under the impression that Banica/Arte/Pollo never met the real Joseph. We haven't been able to confirm if the face he has is that of the real Joseph's or just a random face change AB-CIR gave him so he wouldn't be recognizeable.

Based on both novels though, hair color/style doesn't seem to change with the face. Sati already had his brother's hairstyle when he made the contract and Carlos never mentions his hair changing in any way from what I've read.

Also, I wouldn't get OCD on the era. The independence of Maistia occurs 200 years after the Lucifenian Revolution, which is nothing like their rl counterparts in terms of timeline. Banica's era is roughly between the 1000-1600 era like Sati's, though the discovery of guns doesn't happen til sometime in the EC 500s.

It's easier if you don't try to parallel Evillious history to rl history. mothy is picking and choosing what to include and not include as an influence. He's not trying to make it exact to rl history (that would be boring).
