Rev. Fr. Jonathan 'Bobb' Wayne Miller
Reverend Father Jonathan "Bobb" Wayne Miller has the energy of a thousand stimulated children, hair that grows outward in every direction, and a faint flickering static of light that emits from his skin at all hours. He survived the Heaven's Gate receiving dish ritual, one of the few chosen who lived through being placed in the massive satellite dish atop the tallest tower in the Heights where the signal is said to speak through worthy visionaries. Whatever the signal said to him, it has not stopped talking.
He wears a mismatched plaid outfit he calls a religious business suit. He speaks in rapid oscillations between nonsensical ranting and apparent prophecy, quoting pre-fall scriptures with the conviction of someone who understands them on a frequency the rest of the wasteland cannot receive. He periodically stops moving to converse with his "west coast programming director," a figure no one else can see, and he sets up impromptu game shows in the Brokelands where the prizes appear to be salvation and the rules appear to be negotiable.
He preaches in the places where he is least wanted. He refers to acts of human violence as "reality TV." He almost vibrates with devotion, and beneath the manic exterior there is a friendliness and kindness that confuses everyone who expects a survivor of the dish to be dangerous rather than warm.
The dangerous part may be quieter. Rumors persist that Bobb oversees a secretive cult within the Telling Visions called the Nemesis, which encourages devotees to adopt the roles of traditional horror villains to test humanity into becoming true heroes. Whether the Nemesis is real, whether Bobb truly leads it, and whether the game shows are recruitment is a set of questions that nobody in Old York has managed to answer.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Jonathan "Bobb" Wayne Miller's defining moment was surviving the Heaven's Gate receiving dish ritual, an ordeal in which chosen visionaries are placed in the massive satellite dish atop the tallest tower in the Heights to receive the signal. Few survive the experience. Bobb emerged transformed: hyperkinetic, emitting faint static light from his skin, and speaking in a register that alternates between nonsense and what some listeners recognize as prophecy.
Since the ritual, he has preached across Old York with relentless energy, appearing wherever he is least welcome and conducting impromptu game shows in the Brokelands that combine entertainment with theological instruction. He quotes pre-fall scriptures, converses with an invisible "west coast programming director," and refers to the wasteland's violence as reality television, framing the world's brutality through the lens of a faith that finds meaning in broadcast signals.
The most persistent rumor surrounding Bobb is his alleged connection to the Nemesis, a secretive cult within the Telling Visions that supposedly encourages devotees to adopt the roles of traditional horror villains to test humanity into becoming true heroes. Whether Bobb oversees the Nemesis, whether the cult exists as described, and whether his manic public persona conceals a more deliberate agenda are questions that remain unanswered.
