Behind the scenes
Ozob is a character originally created in the 1990s by Deive 'Azaghal' Pazos, co-founder of the Brazilian geek site "Jovem Nerd". The character became a fan favorite after being featured on three Cyberpunk RPG special episodes of "Nerdcast", the website's podcast and main attraction.

Alexandre 'Jovem Nerd' Ottoni has said that the idea of introducing the character came as soon as the first teaser of the game was released. They thought that Ozob would greatly fit in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Along the years of development, they had contact with CD Projekt Red's employees and one of its founders, Marcin Iwiński. Ozob was originally an albino Replicant clown, not built by Tyrell Corporation but by a mad scientist. With a grenade for a nose, he is full of traumatic and creepy clown implanted memories. Different from other replicants, which were imbued with a purpose, Ozob never had any function other than being a psychotic experiment subject. Ozob was not the only creation of his master, but had a few brothers. One of them is "Zatati Ratatá", a two headed monster-like insane android, nicknamed "Chernobyl" by his siblings. Just like Ozob, he was built as an experiment to test the limits of Replicant technology. Zatati is responsible for disfiguring Ozob's face, ripping out his original clown-like red nose with a knife and pliers, which Ozob then replaced with his signature red grenade.

Ozob managed to escape his master's lab and became a Mercenary of his own, at least until his expiration date comes. There is a book titled Ozob - Molotov Protocol which tells the origin story of Ozob, his creation, the escape and the friendship with Oleg Korolenko, another one of NerdCast RPG Cyberpunk characters. It was written in Portuguese and published in 2015.
