## History

### Season 1

Brandon is a member of Matt's group off of Exit 285. He was on a scouting mission for supplies and new locations with Rebel, Cheryl, and Fred. He later helped lead the group to Ben's camp.

At the camp, Brandon was not as skeptical of Ben's group as the others. After the camp was overrun, Brandon accidentally shot his own wife, causing her death. He was traumatized following this incident, and stuck with the group to deal with it.

### Season 2

Months later at Crawford, Brandon has struck up a close friendship with Matt and Avery. Brandon joins the former alongside Lee on a supply run, where they run into Tara's group. After multiple gunfights, Brandon and his group narrowly escape and reunite with Harper and Raven.

Back at Crawford, Brandon discovered Avery had gone missing during an attack by the herd of walkers. Brandon went off to find him.

Eventually, Brandon was able to track down Avery, and the two worked to return to Crawford. Out in the forests alone, the two bonded, even sharing a kiss, however, there time was interrupted by the emergence of Lilly's group. They were captured and it was revealed Lilly and Laurel had been spying on them for a while. Brandon and Avery defended each other, however, after Laurel showed sympathy for the two, she helped them escape, much to Lilly's dismay.

The two returned to Crawford just in time for the Magenta herd to breach the walls, leading to Robbie's death accidentally by Raven. Avery attempted to save him, but Brandon held him back. Brandon led Avery back to Carley, and the trio hide atop a tower as Crawford crumbles beneath them.

Later, the trio decides to make their escape, finally. They leave Crawford for good, now taking on life on the road once more. Brandon deals with lingering feelings for Avery, who is now mourning his husband, while Carley is determined to find the others and figure out the mystery behind Lilly and Laurel taking Declan and Janine. The trio are unable to investigate any further before they run into Jenn and Steve, who are seemingly searching for something, or someone. They remain hidden, and leave before the two can find them. Later, the trio holds up in an old house, where Brandon and Carley butt heads over their plan of action. After storming out, Brandon is followed by Avery, and the two spot Riley and Ben behind held at gunpoint by yet again Jenn and Steve. Carley quickly joins them, and the three knock out Jenn and Steve, rescuing their friends.

On the road, the group later meets up with Janine, Declan, and Kari. Brandon continues an on-off again flirtation with Avery, which Riley takes note of. Unfortunately, the group is captured by Jenn, Steve, Mimi, and a few other members of Jonathan's group, minus Carley and Kari, who stuck behind a little longer after noticing they were being followed.

In Wilkerson where they meet Jonathan once more, alongside his companion, Ryan, the group is saved by David firing a shot into Steve's neck, killing him. Brandon quickly acts, pulling the closest person to him, Declan, into cover. Brandon and Declan soon make an attempted escape, however, they are pinned down. Avery and Kari attempt to help, but Brandon is forced to escape all alone as Declan is bitten and Kari is killed nearby.

During the remainder of the chaos, Brandon is able to slip away, evading all attackers by hiding in a dumpster. He lied in wait for hours, until he was sure the walker and human threats alike were dispersed. Upon exiting the dumpster, he investigated the remains of the battle, noticing Steve's corpse. Suddenly, Kari emerged, undead. Brandon was devastated, and was forced to put his friend down. Following a slight trail left by his friends, Brandon went on his way to reunite with them.

On the road, Brandon reached a gas station next to a corn field. He noticed a car behind the gas station, and then saw Jonathan. He hid in the corn field, however, a walker diverged on him, giving away his position. He was then taken by Jonathan. Jonathan explained how the Delta exiled him following his failures, but he planned to take Brandon to the Cliffside as compensation to prove his worth. Brandon resisted, but it was futile. Brandon was given some hope, however, when Matt and David arrived. David was willing to sacrifice Brandon in order to kill Jonathan, while Matt wasn't. Matt disarmed David, giving Jonathan the opportunity to escape - but not before he threw Brandon in the backseat of his car. Jonathan drove away with Brandon.

Once more in captivity, Brandon awoke tied to the handrail of the car, as Jonathan made contact with Lilly over a walkie talkie. Lilly agrees to Jonathan's terms, mentioning a woman they recovered from Crawford, as well. Brandon's whereabouts are then left unknown.
