Funny story
Mr. Boss was never supposed to exist. Back in the earliest prototype, he was just a stand-in character so we had someone to yell orders and test cutscenes with. But during playtests, people latched onto him immediately, sorta like the boss you've always wanted that just doesn't give a fuck.
Apparently a boss who doesn’t really care and just shrugs his way through management was exactly what they wanted.

So instead of scrapping him, we leaned into it. Sorahn decided to give him way more polish than he probably deserved, and somehow he ended up… ridiculously hot? Totally unplanned, but we’re not complaining (and neither are the playtesters).
