## Description

Very little of Bryson's personality is seen in the game.

Bryson is first seen in the Prologue, though it is unclear how much of Bryson's personality seen here reflects his actual personality due to the nature of the Prologue. Bryson appears calm and patient in the beginning of the video call with Bells. He becomes stern after Bells responds with sarcasm, and he reprimands her for trespassing and almost getting her mother fired from her job. Bryson informs Bells he and Zaina will be home late. Static breaks up the call temporarily and when the call resumes, Bryson is seen to be in a more cheerful mood despite Bells' frustration. He laughs at the misunderstanding of Bells commenting about the call, telling Bells "breaking up? That's silly. Your mother and I are fine."

Upon Bells' disappearance, Bryson is left devastated, desperate for his daughter to return home. He comforts Zaina during interviews, and later is adamant about refusing to speak to the interviewer upon Isabela's search ending.

Bryson has fair skin, light eyes, dark auburn hair, and a medium length beard. He wears rectangular glasses in a tortoiseshell frame. In the video call in the Prologue, he is seen wearing a white long-sleeved button up shirt under a gray sweater that changes to an orange short-sleeve shirt with white vertical stripes.

In the interviews seen on the TV in The Hideout, Bryson is pictured wearing a white long-sleeved button up shirt and a burgundy sweater vest. In later recordings he is seen wearing a red and black button-up flannel followed by a black shirt, gray windbreaker and blue jeans in the last recording clip.

## History

### Early Life

Not much is known about Bryson's early life. At some point prior to the start of the game, he met Zaina Madi-Shaw and with her had a daughter, Isabela Madi-Shaw.

### Prologue

*Main article:* The Prologue

In the Prologue, Bryson is seen on a video call with Zaina speaking with his daughter, Bells. He and Zaina appear in what looks like a restaurant where he chides Bells for her behavior, commenting on how Bells' had nearly gotten Zaina fired after getting caught trespassing on company property. He calmly informs her that he and Zaina will be home late, but static breaks up the call. Bells' parents appear to be at a casual dining establishment. He and Zaina, misunderstanding Bells' comment on the call interruption, reassures Bells that his relationship with Zaina is fine. They tease Bells for her loneliness before Bryson informs Bells she is about to meet "someone as special as you are" followed by Zaina instructing Bells to "close your eyes, and you'll see" just before the call is dropped.

### In-Game

Bryson can be seen in the interview clips viewed on the TV in the Hideout, pleading for his daughter to return home.

His current location and status are unknown.
