Biography[]
- Manual biography
Easily mistaken for a big, clumsy oaf, Hossman is a deadly opponent whose agility is a match for his fearsome strength.
- Profile
Hossman is a professional bodyguard who's not so principled that he wouldn't put the hit on an employer if the situation were right for it. He's ex-Army National Guard and a former private investigator. He's urban (despite chaps), clever and mercenary. He's confident in his skills, but not so arrogant that it becomes a handicap.[1]
- Prima Guide biography
Hossman is deceptive. He looks slow, stupid, and clumsy, but he is none of these things. Hossman is quite fast for his size, extremely agile, and brighter than average. And that's just the beginning. As a former professional bodyguard, Hossman learned early that staying aware was the key to surviving. He's got the skills to keep a client alive, or to bump the client off if the situation seems right for it.
Hossman falls about in the middle in terms of his overall aggression and tendency to hold a grudge. He has a love for the lightning gun and likes the rocket launcher too. His comments tend to be pretty direct. If he doesn't respect you, you'll know it.
Strategy[]
He favors the Lightning Gun and Rocket Launcher, but doesn't really pay attention to grenades. On the level, just camp out the rocket spawn and unerringly go for it, leaving him open to a well-placed rocket.
Hossman has exceedingly good Lighning Gun skills but can't show the same success at Rocket Launcher or Machine Gun.
Trivia[]
