'''First Appearance:''' [[LIAB Prologue 19]]

[[Prince]] Ossomer was a [[Royal]] [[Warlord]] of [[Gobwin Knob]] and the former [[Chief Warlord]] and [[Heir]] of [[Jetstone]].  He was tall, with black hair, blue [[eyes]], and thick eyebrows.  He wore a breastplate and a cape, and carried a sabre.{{erf|2|03|6}}. Prince Ossomer was [[croaked]] by [[Lady Sylvia Lazarus]] and [[decrypted]] by [[Wanda]] during the [[Battle of the Expository Bridge]]. As a Decrypted unit, his armor plate was black and he seemed to have no cape.

During the ensuing battle at [[Spacerock]], just prior to the tower's collapse, Ossomer suddenly became the first Decrypted unit to [[turning|revert its livery and allegiance]] from Wanda (back to Jetstone in this case). This was not explained in comic, but happened as Wanda escaped to the [[Magic Kingdom]] with the [[Arkenpliers]] through Spacerock's portal.{{erf|2|73}} However, his renewed role as a Jetstone Warlord quickly came to an apparent end at the hands of the Decrypted [[Archons]], who literally pulled the carpet out from under him as he screened for his [[Ruler]] over the ruins of the tower.{{erf|2|78}} He turned to dust rather than leave a body, so he was still a Decrypted unit.

=Speculation=

According to his own (perhaps exaggerated) opinions of himself, Ossomer is similar to [[Dhrystone]]: It was built much as he himself was: tall, hard, chiseled, majestic, and quietly, implicitly violent.

Additionally, he has a [[magic Item|magic]] bracer on his left arm that generates a teleforce attack.  The attack used the phrase "Tesla", a reference to the famous inventor Nikola Tesla who created the Tesla coil, an electric generator, and the "teleforce" charged particle beam projector.

The reversion of Ossomer's colors, from those of [[Wanda|Wanda's]] decrypted forces to those of Jetstone, ''may'' indicate that he was no longer decrypted. On the other hand, the apparent black cloud of dust when he crashes into the Jetstone Atrium floor, may indicate that he still was.

==Military Style==

Ossomer's first campaign as [[Chief Warlord]] was against [[Haggar]]. When [[King Slately]]'s diplomatic efforts to persuade [[King Dickie]] to join the [[Royal Crown Coalition]] failed, Ossomer was forced to respond to [[Haggar]]'s invasion. Ossomer's response was an elaborate and ultimately successful strategic bluff. Despite the fact that [[Jetstone]]'s forces had been severely depleted by their defeat at [[Gobwin Knob]], Ossomer invaded [[Haggar]] and managed to panic [[King Dickie]] to the point where he agreed to join the [[RCC]]. This suggests that Ossomer is a far more subtle strategist than his appearance and straightforward manner might suggest. He favors the production of [[infantry]] over [[Heavy Unit|Heavy Units]] like [[Gump|Gumps]].

==Real World References==
Ossomer's physical appearance has several visual reference sources. One of them being DC Comics superhero {{w|Superman}}, who also featured a spitcurl, red cape, imposing height, square jawline, and a uniform that makes him look like he wears his underwear (in this case armored underwear) on the outside of his pants. The other reference is Lincoln Stern from the {{w|Heavy Metal (film)|animated movie Heavy Metal}}.

His name seems to be a slurring of the (non-)word "Awesomer".  As in, "The new chief warlord is ''awesomer'' than the last one". His square jaw and unyielding personality also are evoked by the fact that his name is similar to the word "ossify" (to turn into bone).
