6. What was the name of John Rimbauer's oil company?

At Omicron his temporary partner was Douglas Posey. The two men often fought but remained partners because of the money. Posey later committed suicide in Rose Red because he didn't get enough money from John.

7. Why did Adam Rimbauer (the son of John and Ellen) leave Rose Red on September 9, 1915?

9. John Rimbauer committed suicide and jumped out of the window in the tower of Rose Red.

After being lured to the top of the house, Sukeena and Ellen pushed John out of the window. She said she liked the window now that it was rose red (filled with John's blood).
