Any of a number of forms of Hidden Badass depending on his exact characterization. For instance:

You mean, his physical features are all outwardly human?

Bran is not only outwardly human, he's outwardly harmless looking. People who know him know he's one of the top five supernatural heavyweights in the world, but to everyone else he looks like a college student who's too shy to make eye contact with strangers. He basically gives a vibe that he could not possibly, under any circumstances, actually be dangerous.

Based on that ^, I'm seconding Beware the Quiet Ones, especially since the description of Bran's attitude reminds me of Fluttershy, who is listed on that page.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

Maybe, but it's just an act on his part. He only pretends to be harmless and submissive as a deliberate tactic to lull enemies who don't know what he looks like into a false sense of security. Now that I think about it, it might be an invoked case of They Look Just Like Everyone Else! and/or Beneath Suspicion.

^ With a dash of Willfully Weak

Seconding Willfully Weak, but it'd be Exploited Beware the Quiet Ones and Stronger Than They Look, in an effort to invoke Mugging the Monster (or to invoke Bullying a Dragon for those in on The Masquerade but who decide that anyone who looks and acts like that can't possibly be strong as his reputation make it sound.)
