| Biography |
|
Warren Bossard, an engineer by trade, found his life irrevocably altered by a bush war in a third-world country. Thrown into a chaotic and dangerous situation, he relied on his technical skills to survive, developing custom gear and weaponry to overcome the overwhelming odds he faced. This ordeal forged him into an unlikely leader, guiding a group of fellow guerrilla survivors to not only endure but ultimately topple the oppressive regime. |
|
Following the conflict, Warren and his unit transitioned from a guerrilla fighting force to a legitimate private military contractor (PMC) company, Warfront International, which he founded and now leads from its headquarters in Switzerland. As Warboss, he oversees the design and production of advanced military hardware, including power armor, weapons, and vehicles, which his private army utilizes. He believes in straight shooting and honor, ensuring that Warfront and its employees adhere strictly to their contracts, setting them apart as 'honest mercenaries'. |
|
Despite his honorable code, Warboss is not a hero, but rather a leader in the morally ambiguous world of private military operations. He commands a premier international PMC and is a formidable opponent to those who stand against his company's contracts. His professionalism and strict adherence to ethics extend to his troops, who are forbidden from engaging in pillaging or unprofessional conduct. His reputation for both strategic brilliance and military might makes him a significant player on the global stage. |
|
Warboss’s activities have put him in direct rivalry with Pyotr Grigoryevich Volkov, a powerful Russian oligarch also known as The Fixxxer. This ongoing conflict adds a layer of high-stakes intrigue to his operations. Adding to his personal life, Warren is married to Kajal Karimi, a key figure in his personal and professional life who is known by the codename Warbride. |
| Capabilities and Motivations |
|
Warboss is a brilliant engineer who specializes in military ordinance and vehicles, weapon systems, power armor suits, and tactical gear. Unexpectedly, he also turned out to be a talented strategist and tactician, and to have the necessary wits to successfully build and manage what emerged as one of the most prestigious PMC's in the world. Even those who deplore warmongers have to admit he is an impressive man. When forced to take to the field he's worn multiple power suits over the last decade, but has preferred to pilot a 30 foot tall battlemech for several years now. It is a walking titan festooned with weapon systems and a comprehensive command and control suite. It can be equipped with various modules for particular missions, but by default Warren prefers a reciprocal force field generator and bunker buster munitions. The massive mech deploys and egresses primarily via heavy-lift helicopters, and many a military engagement has been turned to Warfront International's advantage by Warboss joining the fray via helo insertion. |
|
Warboss's motivations are deeply rooted in his past experiences, transforming his initial misadventure into a mission for control and self-reliance. His time as a guerrilla fighter, having to overcome seemingly impossible odds with cobbled-together tech, cemented in him a powerful conviction: he is the ultimate architect of his own destiny and success. Now, as the head of Warfront International, he is motivated not just by profit, but by the relentless drive to prove his strategic and engineering superiority over rivals like The Fixxxer. He sees his company as the ultimate expression of his survivalist ethic, building the best possible war machine and personnel to ensure his and his team's continued success and honor in a world of shifting allegiances and moral compromises. |
