Harold Osborne was an employee of the Bysshe Company at the Big Meadows gas well in Appalachia. Beneath the surface, he was actually an assassin working for the United States government, directed by the executive known as Bagman, to kill a target known as Zeus.
Background[]
Osborne was hired by the Bysshe Company at some point around May 2077. Heading to work at the Big Meadows gas well in Skyline Valley, Osborne quickly gained the suspicions of his fellow co-workers. Osborne was reported by his co-workers such as Barry for anti-social and other strange behavior, including frequent trips to the top of the gas well's extractor tower. Osborne would claim that he had forgotten some "tools" at the top of the tower, and was even spotted there on weekends when the site was supposed to be closed.[1][2] When asked about his unusual behavior, Osborne quickly asserted his innocence and mentioned his patriotism for the United States. According to deputy foreman Nathan Davidson, Osborne quickly alluding to patriotism unprompted was flagged by Bysshe management as a sign that he could be an undercover communist sympathizer, and requested site personnel to keep an eye on him.[2]
In reality, Osborne's unusual behavior and frequent trips to the extractor tower's peak was a product not of communist activity, but actually as an undercover operative under direction of Bagman, a high-level executive in the U.S. federal government. Osborne was a hitman who set up a sniper's nest at the top of the gas well tower. Osborne was licensed to kill Zeus, a target whose identity is unclear but had some form of military protection while en route to Rapidan Camp to the north in a limousine.[3] The assassination appears to have been successful, as a skeleton is found outside the limo holding a black suitcase, its head having been blown off. The other soldiers in the convoy are also found dead, bloodied, and skeletal, including one who appears to have been administering first aid. However, given that the crime scene had not been cleaned and can still be found largely untouched, it is likely this assassination occurred in close proximity to the Great War; another bloodied skeleton, potentially Osborne's, is found in the sniper's nest at the extraction tower, and his manner of death is unclear.
Appearances[]
Harold Osborne's skeleton appears only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Skyline Valley update.
