Boza

"Isaac is my friend, he's my homeboy from back home. I don't know why he doesn't recognize me. He seems kind of messed-up now, like he's stupid, like maybe he got hit on the head or something. Isaac is my friend. I remember him real good. I don't understand why he doesn't recognize me."

- Boza

Boza is Isaac's gang enemy from Los Angeles. Back then he was a member of The Willowbrook Killers, bitter rivals of Isaac's Thirteenth Street Boys. When Boza shot Isaac, he also killed Isaac's sister, Rose.

Isaac awoke in chains on a prison transport ship, sitting directly across from Boza. They were the only two survivors out of thousands when the ship crashed in the desert outside Scare City. Boza lost his legs in the crash and begged Isaac to kill him. Isaac kicked the helpless Boza and said "Live, motherfucker."

Isaac was rescued by Luca and her M-80s gang. Boza was taken for "parts" or "salvage" by scavengers working for Uribe El Tycún. When Isaac and Boza next met, it was in the Big Top, the huge arena on the edge of town. There Isaac was horrified to discover that the scavengers had put the maimed Boza back together, and had given him titanium legs and other strength enhancements. Worse, Boza was now a brain-addled simpleton who only remembered his bitter enemy Isaac as a "friend from back home."
