Beto O'Rourke

**Representative Robert "Beto" O'Rourke** was a politician, shapeshifter, and stalker. He was the former United States Representative from Texas' 16th Congressional District, a candidate for Governor of Texas in 2022 (facing incumbent Greg Abbott) and was a major villain in the Nest.

## Personality

O'Rourke appeared sociable and friendly on the surface. He was charismatic, a fantastic public speaker, and knew how to talk his way out of almost any situation. However, he had sworn himself to never give up on anything. So when he set a goal, no matter how malicious it may be, he was determined to follow through. This ambition had led him to success in politics, but had also cemented him as a force to be reckoned with if you're unlucky enough to be pitted against him.

## Loogi

O'Rourke was Loogi's stalker. Beto originally approached the man hoping to secure his vote during O'Rourke's campaign for United States President. However, after Loogi ignored O'Rourke's calls, the politician became obsessed, leaving multiple calls and texts, and even showing up at Loogi's house and forcibly entering during certain extreme fits of insanity.

## History

### Political Career

Born in Texas to an affluent family and called to a higher purpose, Beto O'Rourke entered the political world by being elected to the El Paso City Council, and eventually, the United States House of Representatives. He then established himself to the rest of the country with a failed run for president, and then subsequently established himself to the Nest as a candidate for Governor of Texas.

Desperately wanting votes, Beto O'Rourke began to stalk members of the Nest, most notably Loogi, wanting to get their votes. To accomplish his goal and satiate his ambitions, Beto did everything from knocking on doors to becoming the sun and obliterating millions of innocent people VIA heat death to turning into a car known as the Beto Mobile. Put at odds with Loogi, Loogi's kinda-sorta-probably-girlfriend Monika, and Texas's incumbent governor Greg Abbott, Beto was seeming to become more hostile each and every day with his attempt to gain votes.

His hostility came to a head when it became known that Beto O'Rourke had secretly reprogrammed the two robots created by Billizabeth to be his campaign managers, and had, in the process of sneaking into Monika's daycare to get another shot at Loogi, kidnapped the young girl and sent her to North Korea. This led to a tumultuous confrontation with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un that thankfully resulted in no casualties as Billizabeth was rescued without incident. This was the happenstance that finally convinced Monika to finalize her plans to not just defeat Beto, but kill him.

### Death and Afterlife

Beto O'Rourke was vanquished in an ultimate showdown due to the actions of the three aforementioned combatants. Having sapped the immortality juice out of Bill 2, Monika enlisted Avery to make a bomb capable of killing an immortal being. This bomb was subsequently planted on a throne that Beto was tricked into sitting upon, under the guise of Greg conceding the election and allowing Beto to become the Governor of Texas. Beto fell for the ruse, making him just as mortal as any common man.

Beto fell into a blind rage after this, and repeatedly made lunges toward Loogi, Monika, and Greg, each one repelled by the equally-fury-filled Loogi. The man eventually dealt the final blow to his nemesis, and the fight was over. The three disappeared back into their respective homes, with the fight over, but the war far from one. Though Beto was dead, his influence is still felt in the Nest every day, permeating throughout Loogi and Monika's relationship, re-manifesting through the still-active Billizabeth robots, and eventually sadly contributing to the stress-induced suicide of Greg Abbott.

He would later reappear in the underworld for a cameo appearance during the Meteor Shelter arc, being at the helm of the circle seven; the circle of envy. His puzzle was for the Nesters to solve three riddles, of which they were only able to solve two before Satan gave them a free pass into circle eight. Beto's infuriating third riddle may remain unsolved for now and evermore, unless a brave soul would dare to venture back down there and challenge him once again...
