Description
Brian Brandon is an inspector with the Royal Investigation Service, or RIS, serving as a supporting character in the narrative. As a young man with light brown hair and blue eyes, he has a slender build that reflects his nature as someone more comfortable with technology than physical confrontation, often seen working with his computer equipment in the field.
His personality combines sociability with a degree of social awkwardness, creating a dynamic that positions him as the "kid brother" of his team. He is fundamentally a thinker and an analyst rather than a fighter, preferring to solve problems through careful reasoning and technical skill. Despite this preference, he demonstrates considerable bravery and resourcefulness when the situation demands direct action, as proven when he successfully fought off an attacker while strategically leaving behind evidence that allowed a colleague to capture the assailant.
Within the structure of the RIS, Brian specializes in information analysis and technical support during investigations, excelling particularly at handling digital evidence and serving as the primary technical resource for his unit. His professional background includes time spent at the police academy, where he formed lasting friendships with fellow officers Lily Hoshina and Mario Luis Zurita. In the workplace, he harbors unrequited romantic feelings for his colleague Kaela Yoshinaga. He also holds a deep, private admiration for the renowned investigator Keith Flick, going so far as to collect documentation and books about Keith's career, including a volume titled The Story of Keith.
While his investigative abilities are recognized, his relative lack of professional experience sometimes leads others to perceive him as unreliable, a perception his actions often prove wrong. His role in the story is largely defined by his technical expertise and his loyalty to his team, providing crucial support that enables the more action-oriented members to succeed. Over the course of events, he shows development by rising to challenges that test his courage, proving that his analytical mind and quiet determination are just as valuable as physical strength in the field.
