A supporting character in Robert Beatty's *Serafina Series*, Braeden Vanderbilt, the young master of Biltmore Estate, is an orphan who lives with his Aunt Edith, his Uncle George, and his cousin, Cornelia.

Although having told Serafina that he loved her, Braeden is currently in no romantic relationships.

## Appearance

Braeden Vanderbilt has a pale and sickly complexion. His brown eyes are watchful, and sensitive.  He has tussled, wavy brown hair — a lighter brown then Waysa’s. Braeden is also shorter and less muscular then Waysa, and has a softer face. With long, jagged slashes across the right side of his face, Braeden is scarred. He wears a metal brace on his right leg.

## Relationships

Serafina: Braeden first met Serafina when she was sneaking around the Vanderbilt Estate. They soon forged into a deep friendship, maybe something more, and defeated all antagonists, together. At the end of book four, they finally said their “I love you’s” to each other.

Waysa: Throughout the first and second book, Braeden and Waysa had little to do with each other. In the third book, however, after Serafina's death, they had supposedly formed a bond with each other. None of this progression was shown, seeing as Serafina was dead during the time this happened.

Gidean: Gidean is Braeden's loyal Doberman dog. They had been together for years before the first book took place. In *Serafina and the Splintered Heart*, Braeden grew cold toward his Doberman friend due to the trauma of Serafina's loss. Soon after, though, he and his dog were bonded again. In a mini-story available with purchase of the 3rd book from Barnes & Noble titled "The Bond", it is revealed how Gidean had saved Braeden from his burning home, which consumed Braeden's brothers, parents, and sisters.

George and Edith Vanderbilt: Taking in their nephew after his family’s death, George, Edith and Braeden have a strong relationship. Braeden's lived with his aunt and uncle for several years before the series started.
