Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Josiah Zurich

Josiah Zurich, also known as the Emperor, is a disgraced former general inside The Wasted Angel.

Background
He led the First Brigade through the Brotherhood War. He was promoted to general upon its conclusion, and followed the NCR Exiles to the Frontier.

He lost his position after leading an attack on the settlement of Salt Town, which was occupied by the Legion; Elias Blackthorne ordered Zurich to give a retreat order, but Josiah ignored it and even though the NCR secured Salt Town with minimal causalities, it wasn't enough for Blackthrone. Josiah was removed from command and put on indefinite leave. He now walls in his sadness at the Wasted Angel, though still considers himself part of the NCR.

According to Dent, Josiah made sexual comments at Angelina, prompting Dent to punch him.

Josiah and Star (the sister of The Hanged Man) were in a relationship during an affair when she could not get over Jackson Bannon's gloomy attitude after the Bright Town massacre. However, Star did not really love Josiah and just wanted to hurt Jackson. She began to feel regret and wanted to return to Jackson. In an argument about this, he accidentally killed her when he pushed her and she hit her head in a bad position.

He has recently hired the Carter Merc Company to assassinate the Hanged Man.

Quests

 * Sometimes the Stars: He plays a role in The Hanged Man's companion quest.

Trivia

 * The contract memo found during Sometimes the Stars mentions Josiah hired the company in 2281 to deal with the Courier which creates a minor plot hole since the Courier may not even arrive in the Frontier until 2282.
