OVA
Description
Charles Brenten, often incorrectly adapted as "Lieutenant Britain," leads the Tank Police squad in Newport City. His background before joining the force is unspecified. Brenten exhibits notorious machismo and a frequent dismissal of regulations, civilian safety, and property damage during missions. He favors an oversized revolver called "the Castigator" over standard weapons, believing himself the unit's top marksman, and holds a lifetime subscription to "How to Kill" magazine. His name originates from the Bren Ten 10mm handgun featured in *Miami Vice*.
In the original manga and 1988 OVA (*Dominion Tank Police*), Brenten initially opposes Leona Ozaki's transfer due to her gender but later recognizes her abilities after she builds the miniature tank Bonaparte. Leading operations against the criminal Buaku, he regularly employs disproportionate force causing massive collateral damage, worsening the police chief's stress ulcer. His leadership prioritizes aggressive tactics and tank preservation over procedural rules.
The 1993 OVA (*New Dominion Tank Police*) shows Brenten continuing as leader, now aided by weapons officer Charlie Nam. His avoidance of administrative duties persists, with the chief's aide, Sophie Tucker, often chasing him for overdue reports. The unit maintains its destructive operational style, though organizational changes affecting his position remain undetailed.
Within the alternate continuity manga *Dominion Conflict One: No More Noise*, Brenten serves in a more formally structured Tank Police division. While collateral damage and public opposition to tank policing continue, specific character development or altered duties for Brenten are not detailed. Familiar colleagues like Al and Chaplain are absent in this storyline.
Across all appearances, Brenten's character shows no significant change in moral outlook or methods, consistently embodying a hyper-masculine, tank-obsessed officer who operates outside standard rules while remaining dedicated to the Tank Police's militarized law enforcement approach.
