Brinus Dubslayn

Brinus is highly ambitious and intelligent, not one to take foolishness with patience. He rarely has loyalty to anyone but himself, but it can occur in rare instances. And when it does, he is protective of those who are close. But ultimately, his drive is for himself and his own well being. He doesn't tolerate cruelty or rudeness to himself, albeit he can be cruel and rude to those who don't earn his respect. He has an aloof and cold exterior, clearly not keen to trust anyone.

Despite this, he has an ability to be charming and persuasive when he chooses to be or when he wants something. He knows how to work with others to reach and common goal, and might complain a few times if his choices aren't chosen, but he will work towards the end goal with a strong work ethic. It's wise to be careful, though, because he may be creating machinations of his own for the end game.
