History Characters / BetrayMeNot

* ArtificialLimb: Starts out with a defective prosthetic leg, which is too short and tight and lacks a movable knee joint. He still uses it to walk around and help prevent pressure sores as he tries to cope with his phantom sensation. Later, though, he gets a proper prosthetic leg with weight-activated knee system.

* AlmightyJanitor: Brandon may be a convict whose 'human' rights tend to be disregarded by everybody in Millennion (except Mika), but he can take down Harry's splinter-faction. All while wearing a faulty ArtificialLimb with the stump of his leg, which is still in stitches and bandages.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: See PapaWolf. Considering that Brandon is walking with a cane and an ArtificialLimb... HandicappedBadass! It also hints CaneFu, since Brandon has only one hand and is holding his cane with it.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His premature son. [[spoiler:Zach may be draining off Millennion's money, but it's all for his son. It's also implied that he's trying to find a way to bring back the dead as humans for his son's sake.]]

* [[spoiler:WolverineClaws]]: [[spoiler:Zach has actually changed himself into (presumably) a Superior, which grants him the ability to summon this.]]

-> ''"You know, you can't possibly get an armored truck to be your barbell."''

* PluckyComicRelief: He brings ''a hatchet and a spear'' to the basement of Millennion Tower, causing the basement guards to interrogate him. He just intends to arm Brandon, though he doesn't know how to be less conspicuous.

* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Or more precisely, ''gun'' between the teeth. Having lost an arm, Brandon uses his teeth to hold his gun as he reloads it.

!!Doctor William

* '''{{Badass}}''': In every single series, he is one. Heck, even as a human, he's just as badass!
** BadassAndChildDuo: He and Mika.
** HandicappedBadass: Missing an eye and AnArmAndALeg, but that never stops him from kicking ass. See the [[Awesome/BetrayMeNot compilation of his awesome moments]]. He accomplishes them all with sheer determination.
** SubmissiveBadass: He submits to his superiors' (and occasionally Mika's) order.

* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn as opposed to Mika's Brains. He is a {{Badass}} but somewhat BookDumb necrolyzer.

** Brandon can even lose very badly and sustain a potentially permanent disability. Such as in ''The Hellhound of Billion'', after being pounded to the ground by Charles, Brandon remains unable to use his sound leg and his prosthesis for the rest of the story. If he ever wants to move, he'll have to rely on his wheelchair. If there's no wheelchair around, he'll just crawl. Doesn't make him less {{Badass}}.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He's just a doctor, yet he successfully repel a necrolyzed dog by pouring some flesh softener solution into its eyes. Said dog managed to injure Brandon, the series biggest {{Badass}}.

* {{Badass}}: Someone who gives the HandicappedBadass Brandon hard time is definitely one. And he dodges bullets from Brandon, a legendary gunslinger. All while standing on the top of a traffic light. Even Brandon is baffled.
** BadassPacifist: And Vash doesn't even fight back! He wrecks Brandon's prosthesis ''without laying a single finger on him.''
** CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Looks like a clumsy coward outside, but he's actually very badass.
*** Lampshaded by Mika and Arnold near the end of ''Wintertime Business'', who say that Vash is actually a dangerous man and is just being funny and helpful to hide that side.

* {{Badass}}: Someone who manages to give [[{{Badass}} Brandon]] a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown until he can barely move and [[BreakTheBadass break him]] deserves this title.

* {{Badass}}: Puts up a serious fight with Brandon as a necrolyzer.

* SupernaturalGoldEye

* UnstoppableRage: Push Brandon too far and prepare to be blasted to Swiss cheese. He can hardly control his temper, likely due to his status as a necrolyzer.

** Apparently, what has completely softened Brandon to the point he is more of a homebody/daddy is his desire to repay Mika's kindness. He has fallen into DespairEventHorizon for surviving the MutualKill attempt with Harry, but Mika's love touches him and brings him back.

* CharacterDevelopment: Very subtle. The events near the end of the anime and during ''Betray Me Not'' make her more courageous and bring out her MamaBear nature. Instead of simply whining when Brandon is in a trouble like in the anime, she'll do whatever it takes to help him. This includes standing up against two old men who are mob bosses.

*** Lampshaded by Mika and Arnold near the end, who say that Vash is actually a dangerous man and is just being funny and helpful to hide that side.

* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Vash's Red.

[[folder:OneshotCharacters]]
!!Brian
-> ''"He was pardoned too easily, so I believe he still needs some lessons."''

Only appears in ''Worth''. Brian is one of Biscoe's Millennion agents who don't agree with Biscoe's act of sparing Brandon.

* BigBad
* FreudianExcuse: He constantly pesters Brandon just because he doesn't like that Brandon isn't executed for betraying Millennion.
* {{Jerkass}}: With no redeeming qualities. He'll make fun of Brandon whenever he wants to. Not even Biscoe can stop him.

A character from ''Anime/{{Trigun}}''. Only appears in ''Wintertime Business''. Vash is a legendary gunslinger with the capability to destroy a town in a few seconds, but he hides his dangerous side by being funny and helping people.

* AllLovingHero: Although he's Brandon's prey after being unable to pay his debt, when Brandon jumps off the window of his office for a shortcut, he comes to check him.
** [[spoiler:When everything is all over, although Brandon's superiors give him money to help him adapt with the weather, he decides to give it to Brandon so that he can fix his broken artificial leg. He ends up befriending Brandon this way.]]

* DodgeTheBullet: On the top of a traffic light.

* TheKlutz: Due to the cold weather, he knocks down several trash cans and mailboxes by accident as he runs. Brandon trips over them.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Brandon's Blue.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Donuts.

* AntiHero: PragmaticHero type. If extorting, hurting, and even killing civilians are necessary to protect Mika and Millennion, he'll do it.

* [[spoiler:PeacefulInDeath]]: Implied. [[spoiler:By the time he dies for real, he manages to see his mother again (although just for a brief moment) and learns that his mother still loves him despite what he has become. He is no longer a vengeful necrolyzer as well, partly thanks to Brandon's forgiveness near the end. Everything is resolved save for the hellhound issues (although all may be gradually dying due to their necrolyzation nearing its expiry date), and he can finally GoOutWithASmile.]]

* CruelMercy: His way of {{Revenge}} and is explicitly stated. Charles beats up Brandon, breaks his hand, and shoots both of his legs to make sure that he can't walk anymore. And he lets him live so that Brandon can experience the despair he has once gone through.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: It's his motive of attacking Brandon.

* SuperSerum: Presumably turns into a necrolyzer through ingesting necrolyzation serum by the end of chapter 7.

* AscendedExtra / ChekhovsGunman: He is the nameless scientist (now given a name) who talks to Biscoe about Anti-Necrolyze bullet in the anime. He becomes Brandon's caretaker.

*** Lampshaded by Mika and Arnold near the end, who say that Brandon is actually a dangerous man and is just being funny and helpful to hide that side.

* GoodIsNotNice: To his friends and family, Brandon is very loyal and caring, although depending on the situation, he may not always be that pleasant to them and can be very aggressive. Even when talking to Mika, he sounds fierce when he insists that he's fine, and he ''snarls'' at Biscoe for suggesting Mika to follow Brandon to work. He cares less about strangers, and he won't hesitate to eliminate those who oppose his friends and family.

* ManBitesMan: Uses this against a necrolyzed dog. [[spoiler:On the head. He takes a bite outta its brains indeed.]]

* GoodIsNotNice: If savagely beating up somebody is necessary to protect his loved ones, then so be it. At times, he pays no attention to who you are and can be pretty aggressive and unpleasant.
** He is portrayed as a loan shark who will simply nab something from your house if you can't pay your debt in ''A Loan Shark's Tale'', but he is unwilling to hurt a senior citizen. He is not pleased when Arnold holds an old man at gunpoint. He is also very affectionate towards Mika, although sometimes he ends up a tad apathetic to her. He won't have qualms leaving her alone if it's the only way to keep her safe.

* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: Punches Brandon in the head to the point he gets blood gushing out of his nostrils and ears. And some gets into his throat, causing him to cough. Then he stomps Brandon's wrist, breaking it. And then he shoots Brandon in the legs with anti-necrolyze rifle.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: And Brandon is his victim. [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge It's]] [[MindRape not]] [[CruelMercy pretty.]]

Only appears in ''The Hellhound of Billion''. He once worked for Harry's Millennion as a researcher, but then Brandon came to destroy the lab. Charles lost his job as a result, and he was forced to take a lower paying job to help support his family. When Brandon found him, he had become a necrolyzer, and it had yet to be revealed how and why he became one. [[spoiler:He's also the creator of the [[EliteZombie hellhounds]].]]

* MadScientist: [[spoiler:The creator of the hellhounds. The motive has yet to be revealed.]]

* SuperSerum: He presumably has ingested a vial of necrolyzation serum, which turns him into a green-skinned giant.

Brandon is a Necrolyzer (or called simply a reanimated corpse or a walking corpse). He was found unconscious and dying after his confrontation with Harry. At Mika's request, he was given the medical care he needed and saved from death, but he turned out to have betrayed Millennion to protect Harry. Throughout the story, Brandon has to endure whatever Millennion threw at him for betraying the organization.

* TheAce: Despite having lost AnArmAndALeg (uses an artificial leg to provide mobility), he is the best LoanShark in Millennion thanks to the SuperStrength and SuperToughness he has as a Necrolyzer. He is also well-known for his combat skills. Personality-wise, he is also a meek and loyal man. To Mika, he is a cuddly teddy bear.

** HandicappedBadass: See the [[Awesome/BetrayMeNot compilation of his awesome moments]]. He accomplishes them all with sheer determination.

* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn as opposed to Mika's Brains. He is a {{Badass}} but somewhat BookDumb Necrolyzer.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Sometimes an EmotionalBruiser. Brandon may be TheDreaded destructive and implacable Necrolyzer, he is very gentle towards Mika and highly respects his superiors. Including [[MeanBoss Norton]].

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Especially towards senior citizens and women. He also shows some signs of this towards Millennion, in which he readily gives up his freedom and happiness and shoulders his subordinates' burden for them. [[MartyrWithoutACause This trait of his is often taken to the extreme,]] which in turn, becomes his FatalFlaw, especially when he fails to help the people he loves.
** When he fails, he can be highly frustrated at his incompetence. In ''Worth'', because he's still coping with the phantom sensation of his lost limbs, he tries to cover Mika back with her fallen blanket, only to realize that he's missing a leg and fall. And worse, he surprises Mika, much to his annoyance and sadness.
** In ''A Loan Shark's Tale'', Brandon doesn't really have to work during winter, as emphasized by his comrades (Arnold and Mika). However, he thinks that his medical expense is a burden to Millennion, so he decides to work just to ease Millennion's burden.

* [[IllGirl Ill Guy]]: As a Necrolyzer, Brandon relies on regular transfusions and can't tolerate dirty environment, as his body will decay.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Subverted. Brandon has white hair as a Necrolyzer, and while his morality isn't completely white, he is actually a decent man who won't hesitate to give his all when the situation calls for it.
* YouCanBarelyStand: Literally. When Brandon fights Harry's goons, the wound on his amputated leg is actually still in stitches and bandages (ain't talking about his missing arm, which, as Biscoe has said, plays a very small role in his combat ability). Because he's forced to wear a defective artificial leg before the wound heals, he can't walk properly. By the time he reaches the goons, the stitches are likely to have snapped, and his restricted movement causes him to topple. Thanks to his high pain tolerance as a Necrolyzer, he only feels mild irritation instead of pain.

* FakeArmDisarm: While it doesn't happen, as mentioned in ''Feat'', Brandon is aware of his prosthesis' strength. It's much weaker than his body (justified, since Brandon is a monstrously durable Necrolyzer), which is why if he happens to fall down a flight of stairs, the prosthesis will break along with the stairs.

* StreetSmart: In ''Feat'', he knows to stay away from crowds and keep an eye on the surroundings when he's at the shopping district. Why? Pickpockets. Brandon used to be a street thug, so he is very knowledgeable about it.

William is a good-natured doctor who becomes Brandon's caretaker. At first, he didn't care about Brandon, as he believed that Necrolyzers weren't sentient beings. After realizing his mistake, however, he decided to defend Brandon the best he could, as he viewed protecting Brandon, his patient, from further physical and mental damage was his duty as a doctor.

** This is revealed in ''Decisions, Consequences, and a Second Chance''. Biscoe recalls that he learns about Anti-Necrolyze bullets (in episode 25 of the anime) from him.

* {{Badass}}: Someone who manages to give [[{{Badass}} Brandon]] a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and [[BreakTheBadass breaks him]] deserves this title.

* '''{{Badass}}''': In every single series, he is one.

** NotSoStoic: He may shed tears and is actually very gentle, especially towards Mika. And if one ever reminds him of his betrayal, he'll take it personally.

* ManlyTears: Brandon often sheds them.

* TheStoic: On the surface and to people other than Mika and Millennion guys, at least.
** NotSoStoic: He may shed tears and is actually very gentle, especially towards Mika. And if one ever reminds him of his betrayal, he'll take it personally.

** ''The Hellhound of Billion'' makes it even more obvious. He is [[IncrediblyLamePun crabby]] at times.

** Norton thinking of hitting Brandon in his gunshot wounds to wake him up? Mika is none too pleased.

** Chapter 3 of ''The Hellhound of Billion'' makes it even more obvious. He is [[IncrediblyLamePun crabby]] at times.

* LackOfEmpathy: Never gives a damn about the dire consequences of his harsh acts towards Brandon. This includes suggesting Biscoe to punish Brandon by shooting him with Anti-Necrolyze bullets (which Biscoe refuses because said act is more like flogging and animal), .

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge / ExtremeMeleeRevenge: And Brandon is his victim. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown It's]] [[CruelMercy not pretty.]]

* {{Badass}}: Someone who manages to give [[{{Badass}} Brandon]] a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and cripples him deserves this title.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: And Brandon is his victim. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown It's]] [[CruelMercy not pretty.]]

!!Brian
-> ''"He was pardoned too easily, so I believe he still needs some lessons."''

Only appears in ''Worth''. Brian is one of Biscoe's Millennion agents who don't agree with Biscoe's act of sparing Brandon.

* BigBad
* FreudianExcuse: He constantly pesters Brandon just because he doesn't like that Brandon isn't executed for betraying Millennion.
* {{Jerkass}}: With no redeeming qualities. He'll make fun of Brandon whenever he wants to. Not even Biscoe can stop him.

* WalkingDisasterArea: This is inevitable as he is [[PersonOfMassDestruction Brandon's]] target. It's so bad that [[spoiler:Millennion orders Brandon to stop chasing him just to avoid more damage to the city]].

* TheAce: Despite having lost AnArmAndALeg (uses an artificial leg to provide mobility), he is the best LoanShark in Millennion thanks to the SuperStrength and SuperToughness he has as a Necrolyzer. Personality-wise, he is also a meek and loyal man. To Mika, he is a cuddly teddy bear.
** BrokenAce: However, his physical abilities come with a price. Unsterile air can hurt him, and he needs a regular transfusion/treatment to stay 'alive.' And despite how gentle he is, Brandon actually has serious anger issues. As a lonely guy who has lost his beloved friends and family in the past, he is ''very'' protective of his newfound friends and family (Mika, Biscoe, his LoanShark friends, etc). Harming any of them is sure to bring out Brandon's literal UnstoppableRage, which usually overlaps with a chilling TranquilFury. He will smash his way through to get things done and has no qualms killing and inflicting grievous injuries and trauma. Also, he is a PrinciplesZealot. He clings to his philosophy of never betraying, which is why he obeys every single command from Millennion. His actions too, are usually morally questionable.
