Personal Information

Brand is the boy that parents warn their children about. He's got the demeanor and appearance of a rebel, dangerous and entrancing, and draws women into him like moths to a flame. He's a seductive charmer who's notorious for using his spare time to put the moves on any member of the Freehold he can find.

Appearance

Mask: Brand is a startlingly handsome man in his mid-twenties, unshaven and rugged.

Mien: Smoke and fire suffuse Brand's skin, highlighting his features in a hauntingly attractive way.

Mantle: Despite the fact that Brand burns, the shadows around him never match the light of his inner fire.

Personality

'Bad boy' doesn't even begin to describe Brand. He's very much the rebel, riding around on a motorcycle and subtly pushing the boundaries wherever possible. That says nothing of how incredibly charming he is and effective at using his skills to ends.

Mortal World

Brand runs as part of a loose group of anti-social outcasts that have, thus far, avoided being labelled as 'bikies'. That's generally believed to be the result of his motleymate's influence.

Information Known by Lost Society

Out of all the members of his motley, Brand is by far the most approachable and upfront. He clearly identifies himself as a Loyalist and often mentions their operations in casual conversation, to the displeasure of a significant amount of their numbers. That candor, however, is what pulls in far too many new Lost who haven't found their feet yet. Once Brand gets his hooks into them, they never do.

Timeline

• 2005 - Barely a teenager, Brand's discovered and arrested after attempting to shoplift from a liquor store just days after escaping, before his mantle had even developed. A few members of the Freehold step in with the intent of helping what they believe to be a new Lost, only for him to flee back to the Loyalists the moments their backs are turned.
• 2009 - Brand is discovered to be flirting and charming a member of the Freehold and attacked by a vengeful boyfriend. Abraham happens to be nearby and they manage to survive the brawl - and run.
• 2012 - It's discovered that Brand's been seducing and charming a member of the Freehold for information for over a year, potentially gaining the information that led to them gaining such a foothold over the Free Lost. The Lost responsible becomes the first execution victim of the recently created Nemesis position.

Motley

The Archerfield Loyalists have at least thirty changeling, and potentially many more. The Hearts and Minds motley is believed to include the following members and presumably more;

• Whistler - The mercurial and ethereal 'leader' of the motley.
• Daniel Mills - An genteel Fairest with a significant amount of business backing.
• Abraham - A quiet and introverted man, devoted to his small band of friends.

Rumors

• One or two members of the Freehold recall their first interaction with Brand; a terrified kid putting up a tough bravado to get by.
• He hasn't managed to completely overwhelm many members of the Freehold with his charms, but those he has have all wound up being defectors, rather than captured and dragged back to Arcadia.
• It's believed he infiltrates the Freehold on most Spring events.
