The Employer is a mysterious character in Obenseuer, that is a former boss of the protagonist.
Biography
Prior to the main events of Obenseuer, the Employer's goal was to acquire Red Rocks from the Other Side. To achieve that goal, the Employer was hiring various people in the most desperate stages of their life, that would be willing to risk their lives on the promise of getting out of that state.
None of the hired people was able to survive and successfully complete the task before the protagonist was hired for that job. The Employer and their people have set up a contraption in the outskirts of Obenseuer district where the protagonist was meant to enter the Other Side.
During the events of Obenseuer, after drinking the mixture in the quest Deeply Insane, the protagonist gets contacted by the Employer while in the Other Side, enquiring whether the protagonist completed their mission of collecting the Red Rocks or not. It is important to note that tone that the Employer takes with the player during this sequence, that being angry and impatient. The Employer demands that the player answer the phone and asks rhetorically "Is it so hard to answer the phone?!" Implying that the Employer has been trying to contact the player for a while now but has failed to get an answer back from them.
It is worth adding that, the area where the player is seen talking to the Employer when experiencing a flashback after being photographed by Eliana, where the Employer details that they are setting up "The device", is very similar to the area that is seen when creating the character in the menu before starting a new game. The same white flash visual effect and sound effect that result in the flashback from Eliana's camera, also play when first creating a new protagonist and starting a new game. This could be because "The device" that was being setup perhaps displayed similar behavior thus resulting in the protagonist having a flashback to it after Eliana photographs them.
Trivia
- In the game files, the voice sounds that are used when the Employer speaks are named as Richard. However the same voice sounds are used for the voice of the Interviewers.
