Bosh
No one is sure where this erratic bounty hunter came from. Acquaintances say he was a beat cop from New York area for several years and was dismissed from the force in 2011 for attacking a superior officer. Supposedly the officer ordered Bosh to shoot a street kid who hadn't committed a crime. Afterwards his badge had been revoked.
Bosh became disobedient. He also had no interest in joining the military but, being bored, he needed to jump at the first sight of action. After becoming a solo Bosh was called in for a raid on a massive snuff-porno operation, and he became a trusted freelancer with the department.[1]
Operating Style
When going after a bounty, Bosh becomes obsessive. He learns whatever he can about the target before going in, sometimes following the unfortunate subject around for a while, waiting for the right moment. This usually requires some sort of detective work, so Bosh employs a series of disguise and bluffs. He carries a variety of IDs with assumed names, and is always ready to make new ones to fit the assignment.
Once Bosh has identified his target, he doesn't stop hunting until the contract is filled. This has taken him around the country, often hitching rides with HiWay cops and nomad packs to reach his destination. This has also made him a number of friends and enemies across the US.
Bosh's personality is the most disquieting thing about him. Normally talkative, friendly, and laid back, with sarcastic comments and funny sayings, while "on-duty' he becomes brooding and morbid. Worse, he takes an almost obscene pleasure in fulfilling a bounty, dead or alive. Even stranger is Bosh's bizarre hunger for junk food. His eating habits would make a sharp-suited, health-crazed Mover drop dead on the spot. When encountered, Bosh is constantly noshing on something repugnant.
Like all bounty hunters, Bosh often suffers a serious cash-flow problem, and is constantly on the hunt for work. Between big contracts, he goes on private wars (usually against local thugs) for free. (Privately, Bosh is still a cop at heart, and he hates the bad situation on the street.) As a result, he'll pick up any bounty, even petty ones on low-level downs. Note—Bosh does his homework well before he sets out, which means he won't hunt people who aren't "asking for it" in his mind. No one's sure what that means, but hard to trick him into an assassin's job.[1]
