Oswald the Outrageous

Oswald Oppenheimer, also known by his stage name Oswald the Outrageous, is a glowing ghoul in Nuka-World in 2287.

Background
Oswald is a non-feral glowing one living in Nuka-World's Kiddie Kingdom in 2287. He has the same abilities as feral glowing ones in that he uses bursts of radiation to heal and revive nearby feral ghouls. As a former magician employed by Nuka-World, Oswald believes his ability to resurrect dead ghouls to be genuine magic.

Oswald is one of the original survivors from a band of employees that took shelter in Kiddie Kingdom during the bombing and immediate fallout from the Great War. After time had passed, the entire group began changing into ghouls due to radiation leaking in. One by one, the survivors began turning feral, leaving Oswald and Rachel as the last non-feral ghouls in Kiddie Kingdom. He takes on a role as a protector of his former friends, strongly believing that being a feral ghoul is a sickness (that he and the other survivors via terminal entries call "the Affliction") that can be cured. He is in wait of one of the other original survivors, Rachel, whom he believes will return with the cure someday.

He hates the raider clans that have settled in Nuka-Town and scares them away from Kiddie Kingdom through a combination of taunts through the park announcement system, supposedly paranormal powers and mist-sprayers that swamp Kiddie Kingdom with lethal radiation.

Appearances
Oswald the Outrageous appears only in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Behind the scenes

 * Oswald's full name is "Oswald Oppenheimer" which is most likely a reference to the real-life theoretical physicist named J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was one of the scientists on the Manhattan Project.
 * If the player character is wearing power armor, Oswald will comment: "What's wrong, Tin Man? Having trouble finding the Wizard? Personally, I would have figured you for the Scarecrow." This is a reference to The Wizard of Oz.
