Kaspar Othmar Barmettler (27 September 1964 – 9 May 2025) was a Swiss security officer and member of Snubable Enterprise, Snubable Shrankenhaus, and the Bucharest Butchers. He worked under Jibbut Snagov as a clone-extermination operative responsible for rejected A-Series clones and later served as a personal officer and aide to Richard Rambam.
Barmettler entered the Snubable structure after Swiss industrial contacts connected to Stefan Shrankenhaus became involved with the organization. From 2008 to 2012, he participated in the killing of clones marked for extermination because of failed obedience testing, physical instability, cognitive defects, violent responses, or inability to perform assigned functions. In 2012, Rambam took direct personal control over the killing of rejected clones, and Barmettler was reassigned to Rambam's personal staff.
After the collapse of Snubable Enterprise on 1 May 2025, Barmettler was arrested near Bucharest. He escaped during prisoner movement on 9 May 2025 and was shot with rifle fire by a patrolling unit of the Fish Collective while attempting to cross the road bridge over the Neajlov River near Călugăreni.
Early life
Kaspar Othmar Barmettler was born in Lucerne, Switzerland, on 27 September 1964. He was raised in a Swiss-German household and entered private security work during early adulthood. His early employment involved warehouse guarding, industrial-site access control, and private protection work connected to transport firms operating between Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and northern Italy.
By the late 1990s, Barmettler had become involved in security contracting for industrial suppliers and private engineering intermediaries. These contacts brought him into the network surrounding Stefan Shrankenhaus, whose cooperation with Snubable Enterprise later gave Barmettler access to the Romanian side of the organization.
Career
Snubable Enterprise
Barmettler entered Snubable-linked work in 2008, after Richard Rambam and Stefan Shrankenhaus formed a working relationship through Swiss industrial contacts. He was initially assigned to security and movement control around equipment shipments, restricted corridors, storage spaces, and guarded work areas connected to Snubable Shrankenhaus.
His Swiss background made him useful to Shrankenhaus-linked staff, while his willingness to follow closed internal orders made him acceptable to the Bucharest Butchers security structure. He was transferred from general industrial security into the restricted Snubable system during the expansion of the factory complex north of Bucharest.
Inside Snubable Enterprise, Barmettler worked as a security officer in lower-level areas used for clone holding, access control, disposal, internal lifts, and sealed storage. His duties included guarding restricted rooms, controlling movement between sections, checking removal lists, and confirming that marked clones were taken out of active production areas.
Work under Jibbut Snagov
From 2008 to 2012, Barmettler served under Jibbut Snagov in the internal unit responsible for exterminating rejected clones. The unit handled synthetic human clones that Snubable classified as failed, incompetent, unstable, or unusable. These classifications included clones that failed obedience testing, could not complete basic work assignments, showed severe physical defects, attacked handlers, or developed neurological instability after extraction from incubation systems.
Barmettler supervised the separation of marked clones from the main production group. The clones were removed from maturation rooms, holding corridors, or conditioning areas and taken to secured disposal rooms. He checked serial numbers, guarded the rooms, and recorded completion after the killings.
The direct methods recorded for his unit included pistol fire, chemical injections, and the detonation of sealed disposal rooms containing groups of rejected clones. Some detonations were carried out for the amusement of Snubable personnel and were entered into internal records as completed disposal actions. After the killings, remaining bodies and biological material were transferred to incineration rooms or sealed waste containers. The corresponding clone serial numbers were removed from active production lists and entered into disposal records.
Service to Richard Rambam
In 2012, Richard Rambam took direct personal control over the killing of rejected clones. Internal accounts state that Rambam took personal satisfaction in the executions and began ordering that the process be brought under his own authority.
Barmettler was removed from his earlier extermination role under Jibbut Snagov and placed on Rambam's personal staff. From 2012 to 2025, he served as Rambam's personal officer, guard, messenger, and aide inside Snubable facilities.
His duties included guarding Rambam's private corridors, controlling entry into office and laboratory spaces, escorting Rambam between restricted rooms, and carrying personal orders to lower staff. He arranged Rambam's food, clothing, laboratory coats, replacement personal items, private transport, and room access. If Rambam wanted additional food, new clothes, cleaning of a private room, or a change in guard placement, the order commonly passed through Barmettler.
Barmettler also acted as a filter between Rambam and ordinary Snubable personnel. Staff who needed access to Rambam's private areas often passed through him first. He reported delays, missing items, staff behavior, and security concerns to Rambam or to senior guards assigned to the same section.
Arrest and death
After the collapse of Snubable Enterprise on 1 May 2025, Barmettler was arrested during post-collapse searches of Snubable-linked buildings near Bucharest. He was held because of his role in the extermination of rejected clones, his service to Richard Rambam, and his access to internal security records.
On 9 May 2025, Barmettler escaped during prisoner movement outside Bucharest. He attempted to move south along the route toward Giurgiu, likely intending to leave the Bucharest area through the southern road corridor.
Barmettler reached the road bridge over the Neajlov River near Călugăreni, where he was intercepted by a patrolling unit of the Fish Collective. He attempted to cross the bridge on foot and was shot with rifle fire by the patrol. He died at the scene from gunshot wounds.
Legacy
Barmettler is associated with the enforcement side of Snubable Enterprise rather than its scientific leadership. His career connected the Snagov-controlled extermination system for rejected clones with Rambam's later personal control over the same process.
His reassignment after 2012 reflected the increasing concentration of authority around Richard Rambam. His later work as Rambam's personal officer placed him close to the leadership during the final Snubable period, but his role remained security-based and administrative.
Barmettler's death on 9 May 2025 made him one of the Snubable officers killed during the post-collapse pursuit of personnel connected to clone extermination, unlawful detention, and internal security records.
