He's the leader of the Joy Boys, and Dr. Yado's right-hand man.
Biography[]
LISA: The First[]
As a child, Bernard met and befriended Lisa, Brad's younger sister. At the time she was being sexually abused by her father, Marty Armstrong, and she wanted Bernard to help her. She asked Berny to mutilate her body so that her father would no longer abuse her, believing that he would not have any sexual interest on her if she was ugly. The plan does not work as intended, but Lisa continues to ask Berny to hurt her in hopes of eventually achieving the desired outcome.
Eventually, Bernard, now called Buzzo for his deeds, refuses to continue mutilating Lisa. Lisa, unable to stand Marty's abuse and rape, and Brad's failure to help her, commits suicide. Buzzo blames Brad for failing to rescue his love and is determined to blame anyone but himself.
As revenge, Buzzo eventually raids Brad's dojo and mutilates his adoptive son, Dusty Armstrong, by sawing his face off.
LISA: The Painful[]
After "The White Flash" and the apocalypse, Buzzo became Dr. Yado's assistant and agreed to his plan of spreading Joy across Olathe with the purpose of crating an army of Joy Mutants and conquering Olathe. To achieve said goal, Buzzo created the Joy Boys, and with their help he trafficked the drug through the land. As part of Dr. Yado's plan of conquering the land, he wanted to use his daughter, to instigate war and conflict through Olathe with the purpose of eliminating all major threats that could get in Yado's way.
The child, who would later be named Buddy, was placed under Brad's care likely under Buzzo's request so that she could be raised in a safe environment until she was old enough to survive on her own and become a target of interest for the many degenerates of Olathe. Though Buzzo was reluctant at first, and considered Yado's plans too vile, he was eventually convinced with the thought he'd be able to get revenge on Brad Armstrong in the process. Once she grew up, Buddy's existence was revealed and she was kidnapped as a consequence, initiating Brad's journey to save her.
Brad first meets with Buzzo again in Aurora Town. A man gazing into the distance will tell Brad that there's an abandoned building nearby, coercing Brad to visit it by saying they're playing cards. When Brad visits, the building will be pitch black dark and Buzzo will be singing "I've Got The Joy", a popular Christian song. Buzzo then lights a lighter and asks Brad about himself, before the lights are turned on. Buzzo then gives Brad some Joy, and reminds him to keep taking it. After letting Brad know he plans on paying him a visit soon, he kicks him out of the building.
Buzzo keeps his promise when Brad is headed to Area 2 after saving Fardy Hernandez from the Men's Hairclub Presidents. He greets Brad once again, illuminating the cave with a lighter. Brad questions how Buzzo knows his name, but Buzzo cryptically says they go way back. He then takes one of Brad's party members, and asks Brad if he values them. He then tells Brad to prove it by losing his arm for his party member. Brad can either decide to let Buzzo's men chop his arm off, or murder his party member. Brad can also choose to fight Buzzo. Buzzo will acknowledge it as a dumb idea, before obliterating Brad's gang.
Buzzo meets Brad once again after he makes it out of Wally's. When Brad reunites with Buddy, as soon as he exits her cave a Joy Boy will knock Brad out and restrain him and Buddy. Buzzo wakes Brad up so that he may talk lowly of Buddy in front of him. He taunts Brad by telling Buddy he's a bad person, and showing his drug addiction. Even if Brad has rehabilitated from Joy by this point, Buzzo will force Brad to take it in front of Buddy even if Brad tries to refuse. Buzzo commands one of his men to beat Buddy if Brad doesn't comply, causing him to anyway until Buzzo's men are attacked by the Rando Army. Buzzo's men fight off the army, and flee from Brad who's unconscious from the drug in favor of attacking the Rando blockade at Area 2. Brad gives chase until he's apprehended by Buzzo's Joy Boys once again.
Buzzo gives Brad another choice. He threatens to either chop Buddy's nipple off, or murder three of Brad's men. Despite him considering it an easy decision, Brad is still given the option. If Brad chooses to let Buzzo chop Buddy's nipple off, Buzzo will rub it in that it's Brad's fault to Buddy, and ensure more guilt by letting Brad keep the nipple. Or, Brad can choose to sacrifice his three party members. Buzzo will be disgusted by Brad's decision, before reluctantly commanding his men to kill the party members.
Shortly after, Buddy escapes from Buzzo. Brad will find Buzzo solemnly gazing into the distance, as he notes that she got away. Yet, quickly Buzzo will turn around and propose Brad with one more option as a Joy Boy comes up on Brad from behind and aims a gun at him. He'll allow Brad to decide if he wishes to either give up all his items, or his arm. Depending on the player's decision with Buzzo's first choice, it may also be Brad's last arm. As a third option however, Brad can ask Buzzo why he's been tormenting him. If this is asked though, Buzzo will instead chop Brad's arm off and steal all his items. His laugh can be heard, and he'll have left the area. Buzzo will not be seen again after this, having done his job to ensure Brad's fate.
LISA: The Joyful[]
After the events of Lisa: The Painful, Buzzo succeeded in his plans of turning Brad into a joy mutant. Not only that, he also managed to spread joy throughout Olathe fulfilling Dr. Yado's plans of conquering the land. With all major threats either turned into Joy mutants or dead due to the ensuing chaos caused by Yado and Buzzo, Dr. Yado stopped contacting Buzzo, since he was no longer needed.
As a consequence of being abandoned by his boss, Buzzo was left alone with a mutated Brad in a cave without any purpose or orders to follow. After secluding himself, Buzzo eventually comes to the conclusion that what he has done is evil.
Determined to atone for his sins, Buzzo decides to save Buddy, Brad's daughter, by telling her about the Joy vaccine and protecting her from the mutant Sweetheart. By the end of the game, a fatally wounded Buzzo meets with Buddy and tells her that Brad was a good man who truly loved her before becoming a Joy mutant. As he begins to hallucinate about Lisa, the now mutated Buzzo attacks Buddy, Buddy retaliates and fatally wounds him. As Buzzo takes his last breaths, he thanks Buddy for killing him before finally dying.
