The Bosun is the tertiary antagonist of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. He is found within Pity's Fall on board the Drakensburg, and is fought as part of the mission Intelligences of the Artificial Persuasion.
Background
Formerly known as Keith, the Bosun was an AI tech working for the Dahl corporation before the Crackening. After discovering the wreck of the Drakensburg, he used his skills to modify the ship's AI, the Skipper, to be his girlfriend (Skipper claims that he "wasn't a hit with the ladies") and co-leader of his gang of scavs.
Involvement
The Bosun is identified by Pickle as a collector of artificial intelligence that might be useful to build Jack's robot army, adding that he would not surrender it willingly. The Vault Hunters proceed anyway, intent in wrestling it from him with force.
The Bosun continually taunts the Vault Hunters on their quest as he destroys the bridge leading to Drakensburg's wreck and sends his men to impede them, but with Pickle's help, they bypass the molten divide by freezing the lava with liquid methane. He then erects a force field to prevent the Vault Hunters from reaching the command center, prompting them to go around. At this point, Skipper contacts the Vault Hunters and side with them in exchange for the AI in his possession. She eventually ordered them to jettison the ship's engine just to annoy him while also taking down his force field.
Tired of their meddling, The Bosun eventually challenges the Vault Hunters personally, and fights them after they reach his command center. As he nears death, he is shocked by Skipper's betrayal. After killing him, the Vault Hunters reach the AI Hub, where Skipper is revealed to be what they're looking for all along. She then provides some context on their shared history.
