Josh Bryant is a paparazzo trained and employed by Nick Hofmeister whom he ultimately betrays.
He was first seen in "Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil." at the site of a fatal car crash, snapping pictures. His boss takes responsibility for the crash that killed a celebrity's son.
Chloe then follows the evidence to Bryant, whose photos show an escalation of salacious content from celebrity shouting matches, to suicides, overdoses, and what now looks like premeditated murder. She takes the portfolio to Nick and tells him Josh caused all of the horror depicted in the photos, and he finally tells her the truth; "Taught him about all the lines a pap can't cross, you know, 'cause I just...wanted him to stop making the same mistakes I did. And then, two days ago, he calls me up, says he's been in a really bad accident, and said that he totally understood everything I was saying now, but it was too late, you know, someone was dead." So he took the fall, hoping Josh would get a fresh start, and Chloe comments on the fact he tried to do something good with his life, and got played. She tells him if he doesn't testify, Josh will kill again.
Nick and Josh then vanish, taken by Maze and Lucifer to exact punishment. Lucifer tells Nick he respects him as a "necessary evil" and says his trouble is he tried to change. He then set the two men opposite from one another and provided guns. Nick asks if Josh had really killed people. Josh contemptuously tells him there is no line you couldn't cross, then picks up one of the guns and pulls the trigger - it was unloaded. Nick then picks up his gun as Chloe arrives; she tries to talk him down. She insists that his trying to change was what matters, and this intrigues Lucifer to the point he halts his punishment just as Nick pulls the trigger. Amenadiel slows time upon appearing to Lucifer's call, and the bullet never gets to its destination. Lucifer kicks him in the crotch, and Chloe arrest him..
