== About ==
'''Mayor Benjamin Osgood''' is the current Mayor of [[Visit Verdant|Verdant, Connecticut]] and a member of [[House Subconium]]. He holds the town's official political authority while privately maintaining his connection to the organization that manages Verdant's occult infrastructure. His existence embodies the dual-register nature of Verdant itself: a public face of civic normalcy over a private life steeped in the town's true history.

The Osgood surname is one of the oldest in Verdant, shared with [[Sarah Osgood]], the woman depicted in [[The First Witch Statue]] on the [[Eastern Tsuga College]] campus. Whether Benjamin Osgood is a direct descendant of Sarah Osgood, and whether he knows the full history of who she may have been, has not been established in canon.

== Description ==
No physical description has been established in canon.

== Background ==
Benjamin Osgood's background before his mayorship has not been established in canon. His membership in House Subconium suggests a deep connection to Verdant's true history, though the nature and extent of his involvement in the organization's operations have not been detailed.

The Osgood name appears on the oldest statue on the ETC campus and on the door of the current mayor's office. If Benjamin Osgood is a descendant of Sarah Osgood, and if Sarah Osgood was Tituba of the Salem Witch Trials, then the Mayor of Verdant carries the bloodline of a woman who survived Salem's witch trials, arrived in a town built on protected magical practice, and chose to stay. What that lineage would mean for his role in House Subconium is an open question.

== Personality and traits ==
No personality details have been established in canon.

== Role in the SSU ==
Mayor Osgood has not yet appeared directly in any published work in the SSU. His significance is currently structural: he represents the connection between Verdant's civic authority and its occult infrastructure, and his surname ties him to one of the most important unresolved historical questions in the universe.

== Key relationships ==
