That person was none other than Joshua Whitley himself. Right as they were planning on killing him, they realized his family had been ostracized so much that he didn’t even know he was from a respectable family. Since the order they received was to kill all direct members of the Whitley family, Joshua was spared as he didn’t fit that classification.
