The Boss or Ranch Owner. The owner can also be the manager, trail boss, or just a Rancher.

The old swamper is Candy, an elderly ranch hand with a missing hand. When George and Lennie arrive at the ranch, Candy tells them about the boss and the other workers, warns them about Curley's aggressive behavior, and shares some information about the ranch and its operations. He also mentions his aging dog, which becomes a significant part of the story later on.
In chapter 2 of "Of Mice and Men," we meet George and Lennie, the main protagonists of the story, as they arrive at the ranch where they will be working. We also meet Candy, an older ranch-hand who befriends George and Lennie. The boss of the ranch, Curley (the boss's son), and Curley's flirtatious wife are also introduced in this chapter.
The Boss - The stocky, well-dressed man in charge of the ranch, and Curley's father. He is never named and appears only once, but seems to be a fair-minded man. Candy happily reports that the boss once delivered a gallon of whiskey to the ranch-hands on Christmas Day
