Brutus Scarface (MLTO)

Brutus Scarface was a minor character and an Antagonist in "MLIV:TO".
He is a notorious bandit leader who has been harassing the region of Canonia for years. Although he is not very important in the current state of the world, he is still a menace to society and must be dealt with as soon as possible, to keep Canonia safe and stable in the inevitable disaster caused by Redmark and his warriors.
He served as a minor Antagonist in Chapter IV.
== Personality ==
Brutus is a secretive and, at the same time, brutish and disrespectful individual. He has no respect for the laws in this world and would rather live his life in total chaos than to respect someone else.
This bandit leader does his job very thoroughly. He commands his warriors to leave no evidence behind, collecting all the precious loot that was left behind after their attacks. Thus, he has become quite greedy and always looks for more than what he already has.
== Battle Expertise ==
Although he is a dangerous individual and a decent leader, Brutus knows little to nothing about how to fight enemies himself. He often leaves all the hard work to his allies and spends his time counting the massive amounts of gold that they have obtained for him.
Despite having a name that signifies brutality in more than just the moral sense, Brutus has never participated in a serious battle, as he often flees the scene before things get very serious.
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Dante Gonoru
In order to prove himself to his new allies, Dante tracks down Brutus's group of bandits and confronts them. The bandits think that Dante is not a threat to them, but the young hero surprises them all by unleashing a powerful spell, used only by the most capable of fire sorcerers.
As Brutus emerges from the keep's mess hall and realizes that all of his goons are dead, he lunges at Dante and attempts to murder him for what he did. However, he is unable to do so due to his sheer incompetence and is pinned to a tree by the young do-gooder.
Dante attempts to spare him, in an attempt to teach him a valuable lesson. However, the vile bandit leader refuses to back down, forcing Dante to kill him instead. He uses a considerable amount of fire magic to burn Brutus's face, severely burning his head and killing him in the process, successfully redeeming himself in front of Geralt and his group.
