Oliver Boothman

*"Intelligence, Tactics, Analysis, Defense, Enforcement, and Logistics. I may be lacking in some of these, but I'd be an amazing choice for CITADEL. Plus, I was already in the GSOB. Please just give me the damn job."*
―**Oliver Boothman** to Imperia[src]
**Oliver Troy "Olly" Boothman** was a skilled marksman, former Mandall-Smith Corporation security officer, GSOB field agent, and C.I.T.A.D.E.L. communications officer. Originally hired by Walter Mandall himself to protect some of MSC's most important assets, Boothman would later be recruited by GSOB officer Clark Clearmark while fending off terrorists in one of MSC's facilities in Bonnet Blanc.

## Biography

### Childhood

*"New Harmony?"
"Yep."
"Which borough?"
"Tide's End."*
―Benjamin Hyde and Oliver Boothman
Oliver Boothman was born in New Harmony City, Pennsylvania on October 15, 1983. He lived in Tide's End for most of his childhood with his mother and father. He knew several members of the Prophets, like King. He considered his two cousins to be his brother an sister growing up.

### Recruited by the GSOB

In early 2003, Boothman was a member of the Mandall-Smith Corporation's security office. While guarding one of the corporation's facilities in Bonnet Blanc, it was attacked by terrorists. At the same time, GSOB operatives including Clark Clearmark were planning to raid the facility due to it containing a mysterious crystal locked in a vault fifty meters below its ground floor. During the attack, Boothman eliminated many of the attackers with relative ease. After seeing his proficiency in combat, Clearmark recruited Boothman to the GSOB. He initially thought about denying the offer, but reconsidered and accepted.

### Imperium conflict

Boothman was involved in the planning stages of Sarah Spinzer's role in Operation Stratagem II. Later, a few minutes before the Battle of Washington, D.C. began, he helped Clark Clearmark gain access to the Safeguard armor in the GSOB's Santa Monica facility. He warned Clearmark that both he and Clearmark could get fired and potentially legally reprimanded if he got the armor destroyed. Clearmark then guaranteed Boothman he would not do anything to get them in trouble. He was present during the New York City Ceremony.

### Adjusting to C.I.T.A.D.E.L.

Following the Imperium conflict, the GSOB was absorbed into the CIRAD. At the same time, many GSOB members and assets were being reassigned to C.I.T.A.D.E.L. Boothman was among many GSOB agents who transferred to C.I.T.A.D.E.L., including Sarah Spinzer, Kylie Cooper, Dante Freeman, Josaiah Willthorne and several other operatives. He was first stationed at the Core before being transferred to the Seaside.

### Resurgence

Boothman was stationed in the White Rooms during the Resurgents' escape from the prison. He was able to contact the Core and inform C.I.T.A.D.E.L. Command about the escape before being hit by a large Imperium blast from Shaw Murray. He would survive, but ended up with second and third degree burns all over his left shoulder.

Later during the Battle of Tisztasag, he acted as the communications officer for two small teams of C.I.T.A.D.E.L. field agents. One was composed of McIntosh, Julia Thompson, and Gideon Cloud, with the other composed of Gruvi Gradiczek and three other agents.

### Working with Thompson's Team

After the Resurgence, Boothman was selected to be the communications officer for Thompson's team.
