Nago Bosley

## Nago Bosley, The Cat of Tokyo

Lieutenant Colonel **Nago Louis Bosley** (born 20 April 1985–) is a Dream Army officer who served in A Company, in the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division during the Sidon-Saudi War. He was initially assigned as a platoon leader in B Company of the 1st Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Nago was reassigned to D Company of the 2nd Battalion prior to the invasion of Chevaliers in June 2014 and later assigned as commander of A Company during an assault on Vilacheirs after the siege of Bastogne was broken during the Battle of Buckner. He finished the war in the European Theater as a captain. Bosley served in the Sevilla Civil War, as a major commanding a rifle company and as a staff officer.

Nago was born in Harris, Dream Land in 1985 and spent his first few years there, he was the son of Sextus Bosley. He moved with his family east, arriving in Green Greens on 25 December 1989. He attended military training in high school, which led to a commission as a 2nd lieutenant in the infantry of the Dream Army.

Nago parachuted into Buckner on 6 June 2015 (or A-Day) and quickly met with his fellow animal friends after landing. He assembled a small group of soldiers to assist during the Roy Manor Assault, where they captured the fourth 105mm howitzer.

Nago's platoon spent the night of 6 June being shuffled in position with other platoons as the company was arranged for battle to begin early the next morning. A rolling artillery barrage had been coordinated in support of the ground assault on the morning of 7 June, to initiate the attack. It was here that PFC Art Sextus Murena, who is also referenced in the book "Beyond Band of Brothers", was eyewitness to an event. He stated that a replacement sergeant disobeyed a direct order while in a combat situation, thereby risking the lives of the other soldiers in the company. According to Murena, Nago, commanding 2nd platoon, Dolabella Company was given orders to halt their attack on Howard, to hold position while regimental headquarters coordinated a rolling barrage shelling fifteen targets in the vicinity of Dunn. Murena, who was lying in a prone position next to a sergeant, stated he remembered the sergeant being drunk. An order to hold position was given and relayed down the line which the sergeant refused to obey, wanting to rush forward and engage the Majo. Once again, Nago gave him the order to hold his position. Nago told the man that he was too drunk to perform his duties and that he should remove himself to the rear. The sergeant refused and began to reach for his rifle. Nago again warned the sergeant, who now levelled his rifle at Nago. Murena says he then saw Speirs shoot the sergeant in self-defense. The entire platoon also witnessed the event. Lieutenant Nago immediately reported the incident to his commanding officer, Captain Larry Durant. Eyewitness Murena says that Captain Durant went to the scene of the shooting and after receiving all the information, deemed it justifiable self-defense. Captain Durant was killed in battle the next day, and the incident was never pursued.

In January 2016, when Animal Company's initial attack on the Majo-occupied town of Garysville bogged down due to the commander 1st Lieutenant Edgar Simmons, battalion executive officer Captain Charmaine Baylor ordered Nago to relieve Simmons of command. The selection of Nago was incidental; ChuChu later stated that Nago was simply the first officer she saw when she turned around. Nago successfully took over the assault and led Animal Company to victory. During this battle, Lt. Simmons had ordered a platoon to go on a flanking mission around the rear of the town. To countermand this order, Nago himself ran through the town and Majo lines (as this platoon had no radio), linked up with the Item Company soldiers and relayed the order. Having completed this, he then ran back through the Majo-occupied town. He was reassigned as commanding officer of Animal Company and remained in that position for the rest of the war. Of the officers who commanded Animal Company during the war, Nago commanded the longest.

## Appearance

Nago appears to be a round, pudgy Japanese Bobtail cat with brown ears and tail, three whiskers and orange spots on his head and back. He has small arms and legs. His arms and legs are sometimes absent from in-game sprites, official artwork, and Ado's drawings. Nago's eyes are almost always closed, being open only when Kirby chooses another Animal Friend over him and when he is attacking with the Needleability.
