Personality[]
Although a generally decent guy, Brendan does have a rougher side, this becomes apparent when he discovers that his group is being threatened by a unknown murderer. At that point, he becomes much more aggressive than the guy he originally appeared to be, one who is kind and thankful. Brendan took over the hospital, locking everyone else in the cage until the murderer was revealed. He exiled Mohamad, which is as bad as sentencing him to death. There was even talk about mass execution of the entire group, as a precaution.
Abilities[]
Brendan has yet to display any note worthy abilities or skills. He was fairly useless against the ferals that attacked him and his group. Since being kicked out the Hospital, Brendan has become a fighter for the Portland Human Resistance, he never fired his rifle but he was fairly confident with it in hand.
