## Bio

The prime living example of internet retardation, King-Brando (or simply "Brando" for short), has risen the ranks and roles of the Discord server and found himself in a position of power he absolutely should not have. Most of his contributions to the server tend to be fun little projects he decided to work on for no other reason than the fact that he was bored.

## Hunger Games

Brando is a retired tribute from the server-wide event known as the Hunger Games. He now acts solely as the host. While he was a tribute, he was part of District 12, though canonically, his character is from District 11.

Since he was the grandmaster of these games, Brando made sure to be in the same district as his best friend, Javi. While well intentioned, this turned out to be a moot point because the simulations are a battle royale, not a team match, meaning there was a good chance these friends would kill one another in the games. Despite this, the two found it hilarious when such an event would occur.

In the story, both Brando and Issy were selected to be the tributes from District 11. Issy befriends the main character, Oglogoth, but is eventually killed. Shortly afterwards, Oglogoth gets into a fight with an unnamed female tribute, and appears to be losing when Brando comes to her rescue, killing Oglogoth's opponent. He spares Oglogoth for the way she treated his fellow tribute, and they part ways.

Sometime later, Brando is murdered by another tribute named Toaster, who had proven to be quite the antagonist in this game. It is unknown how Brando perished.

## Trivia

* Brando is responsible for what's supposed to be a weekly Hunger Games session.
	+ At one point Brando held a special match of the Hunger Games that he called "Avenge the Hitmen".
	+ Brando once was a tribute in the game, but then decided to retire, as he didn't want to be accused of cheating. This also lead to him gaining the "Capitol Leader" role.
	+ Season 1 of the Hunger Games drew to a close, allowing the roster to finally be updated. However, Brando is a lazy P.O.S. and has only held one match for season 2, which was supposed to be over by the start of 2021 in order to lead into season 3.
* Brando has started several personal projects, many of which were specifically for the hitmen. However, he lost the motivation to see pretty much all of them through to their completion.
* His profile picture is based off of a character from a comic book he's been working on for a few years now.
	+ His character's emblem is heavily inspired by Superman, his favorite comic book character, though the color scheme and overall look is based more off of the Smallville Version of Superboy.
		- Brando unknowingly made his character's outfit so strikingly similar to this version of Superboy that upon making this discovery, he made a quick edit of a panel from a Smallville Season 11 comic to showcase the similarities. He only came to this realization upon reading said comic.
* He is responsible for making a few fake comic book covers. The most notable ones are:
	+ "Hit-Men", which is a parody X-Men cover featuring various other server members.
		- This is the only cover to not feature Brando, though his logo still makes an appearance.
	+ "Impostor Battle", an idea sparked by when Puppers, a former server member, changed his profile picture and nickname to match Brando's.
	+ "Sableye vs Brando", which Brando decided to make when he and Pin got opposite results from a D&D alignment test. It was also heavily based off his favorite drawing of Superman, which displays him mid-battle against Lex Luthor above the city of Metropolis.
* At one point Brando made fake concept art of different server members as Pop! Vinyl Figures. He made a total of 14 before unofficially retiring the idea.
* His personal role, Crimson Hawk, is named after Street Fighter's Ryu, who claimed the Crimson Hawk Power Coin in the mobile game "Power Rangers: Legacy Wars". Brando chose this name because he owns a pin of this Power Coin, which he wears regularly.
	+ His role was originally named "Resident Dumbass"..
* Brando is the one responsible for the creation of the LEGO® Cult.
* He has lost his mod role on a total of 4 occasions.
	+ The first time he jokingly removed it from himself just to see if he could. He needed assistance from Lyfrassir (who was the only mod online at the time) to reacquire his role.
	+ The second time he lost it by technically gambling it away in "The Contest". Luckily, this only lasted for 4 days before he was back to his old position.
	+ The third time was a joke about how the server would die by giving everyone banning permissions, then having everyone proceed to ban one another. Cosmic joined the conversation late, quickly catching up on what was happening, only to say "more like bannedo", and briefly removed Brando's mod role to give the illusion of having banned him.
	+ The hitmen were reminiscing about the old days of the server, and Brando joked about the first time he lost his role as mod. Cosmic then removed his role as a joke and briefly gave it to Corn. He then decided neither of them would have the role.
		- Cosmic had intended to return the role to Brando, but simply forgot to do so until Brando had asked about it a little less than a day later.
* In March of 2020, Brando had been banned from the subreddit r/PewdiepieSubmissions due to a blanket ban that their mods had placed over r/ComedyHitmen, which automatically banned any user that posted or commented on the Hitmen sub.
	+ Ironically, this ban was placed on him for an announcement post he made, titled "Stop harassing r/PewdiepieSubmissions".
		- His ban was later removed, though Brando wasn't even informed about it. Regardless, he kept his flair as "Banned from r/PewdiepieSubmissions".
	+ The blanket ban had been placed on the sub due to many hitmen users brigading PDPS. Fed up with the hitmen, PDPS decided it was easier to just blanket ban everyone rather than try to find the people actually responsible for all the spam.
		- Brando was able to negotiate with a moderator from PDPS who wished to remain anonymous. They agreed to turn off the bot, so long as the Hitmen Mods were able to keep their users at bay, which led to the update announcement posted about a week later.
		- The brigading had gotten so out of hand that it eventually caught the attention of a Reddit Admin, who had reached out to Brando and the rest of the mod team; though by that point, the mod team had things under control.
* On 8/4/2020, Brando changed his Discord tag from 0911 to 2814. This is a reference to another one of his favorite comic book characters, Green Lantern.
