### Tales of the Infinity Blade: Redemption

Brandon Wolfgang Bale enters the Gold King's chamber and engages battle with The Dark Knight as the Ancestor. When the fight is finished, the battle with the Gold King begins, and is lost. Many years later, Brandon, now revived, goes back to the Tower to fulfill the tradition of "The Sacrifice", where a young man is sent to battle the Gold King, regardless of the fact that it is a pointless tradition. He battles the God King many times, and one of three endings are possible. If He wins, he enters the Gold King's chamber and, using The Infinity Blade, kills him. Before dying, the Gold King states that "They'll be coming for YOU now...". Brandon Wolfgang Bale then finds a holographic image of the planet before being killed by an unknown person (Who is later revealed to be Elizabeth Palmer) and is reborn. Brandon, being reborn with no memories believes the one who died to be his father and goes to find out what killed his father. In the Gold-King's dungeon, Brandon Wolfgang Bale finds a pedestal where he inserts the Infinity Blade and opens 3 dungeon doors. Inside each of the dungeon rooms He finds a cursed Deathless King. After killing all the Deathless Kings a large dungeon door opens. Inside this room He finds a lab with 7 of the Gold-King's buds, or dead clones floating in green experimentation tubes. Brandon Wolfgang Bale is then ambushed by a robot known as Zero Mech but overcomes the robot. Zero Mech is revealed to be piloted by Archarin , who was offered immortality by the Gold-King, which he accepted. Brandon Wolfgang Bale engages him in a final battle and defeats him. Archarin says "He will be back", before dying. Brandon Wolfgang Bale says when he comes, he'll be waiting before exiting the Citadel.

### Tales of the Infinity Blade: Assumption

The fight to find Rayzoth begins at the entrance to Shirai's Estate, which Brandon is preparing to enter. A short conversation takes place between him and Elizabeth Palmer to reveal the current setting, which took place in an extravagant Rojinese location. After fighting four enemies, He approaches Shirai and requests the location of Rayzoth. Shirai tells him that he may find him in the Vault of Tears. She then becomes suspicious of Brandon's intentions, and engages him in battle. After Shirai is defeated, Brandon finds an Infinity Blade slot stone and inserts his Infinity Blade into it. It then descends into the ground and the Gold King approaches him from behind. The Gold King's minion then hands Brandon's Infinity Blade to the minion and the God King then converses with Brandon. He tells him how he knew Brandon would fall for the trap, saying that he was foolish enough to open his Dungeons after all.

As the Gold King prepares to strike, refusing Brandon's pleas to give a weapon to him to fight, Elizabeth shoots him in the forehead with a crossbow. Weeks later, Brandon Wolfgang Bale awakens in a birthing chamber and realizes that he is Deathless, or a Nevian Alpha. It is explained that Elizabeth Palmer had shot him only to prevent his permanent death by the Infinity Blade, one of only three ways he could truly die.

After awakening, Brandon Wolfgang Bale travels to the Vault of Shadows, the place once known as Saranthia according to Shirai. He fights his way through the tower and defeats Thane Kalisto. He then unlocks the primary seal on the prison the Worker is in. By doing so, he is granted access to the other three Blood sentinels and their seals. After unlocking those, Brandon fights Thane once again and gains access to the Vault of Tears after pushing Thane Kalisto from the top of the tower.

### Tales of the Infinity Blade: Sealed the Lies

He reappears in *Tales of the Infinity Blade: Sealed the Lies* as one of the main characters alongside Elizabeth Palmer.

After the Gold King is killed by the Worker of Infinity, Brandon goes to Gold King's stronghold in Larioth, as Gold King stole the Worker of Infinity's datapod and sent it there in one last act of defiance before he is killed by the Worker. Act I with Brandon takes place as he fights his way into Gold King's room and fights a Soulless clone. The Soulless Gold King is wielding The Infinity Cleaver, a heavy version of the Infinity Blade. He asks him where he got it from and why there is this new Galactic Infinity Blade, but the Soulless incinerates himself to protect the Worker's secrets. He returns and shows it to Elizabeth Palmer, who says she has seen something similar in the Stockpile when she was looking for him. She goes there to find a chamber that have slots (similar to the one in the Dark Citadel) for different types of Infinity weapons other than the classic greatsword. She returns to Brandon and they begin collecting all the Infinity weapons.

In Act III, Brandon goes to a fighting pit owned by Therin, a Deathless aligned with the Worker who supposedly has an Infinity Weapon. Meanwhile Isa goes to free an old friend of Siris and master blacksmith Jensen. Siris defeats Therin and brings back the Infinity Spear while Elizabeth brings back Jensen. Elizabeth and Siris talk and Elizabeth realizes he is trying to find the Redeemer, the device that caused Dreadville to be reborn into Brandon. She, fearing he intends to use it on himself, gets very angry and feelings are tense afterwards.

In Act IV, Brandon goes to the Vault of Tears to retrieve the Redeemer while Isa goes to The House of Kor to defeat Lelindre, who has the Infinity Daggers. Brandon Wolfgang Bale fights Melek in front of the obelisk from Assumption. Melek tries to convince Brandon to join the Worker, saying he can be restored to his former glory. Brandon angrily replies back, refusing and then goes on to fight and then defeats Melek. TEL then activates a rune on the obelisk causing a smaller obelisk with the Redeemer resting on top to appear.

In the final act, Brandon and Elizabeth go to the Worker's hideout, The Ark, in an attempt to stop him. When he finally fights his way to the Worker a second Soulless Gold King appears and challenges him. Elizabeth, however, shoots the Soulless with her crossbow and tells Brandon Wolfgang Bale to go after the Worker while she defeats the Soulless clone.

During the finale, Brandon manages to defeat the Worker by counter-stabbing him in the chest with the Infinity Blade with the assistance of Elizabeth. The Worker tells him that the greatsword/sword cannot kill him because it was made by him. Brandon Wolfgang Bale proceeds to insert a device called the Redeemer (which alters the DNA of a Deathless so that his memories can be erased, and was used by the Worker to erase Dreadville's memory) into the Infinity Blade, which causes the Worker to disappear in a flash of disorienting blue light, leaving the Infinity Blade behind a place called the Shrine of Centurions.
