## History

### Arc 7: Tracking Liberty

In the search for Liberty and River's dad, Atom was lead to search for a man named Bran. This search brought him and the group to the Rusty Nail bar in the outer walls of Junkyard. It was there that the barkeep directed him to Bran's people around one of the back tables. They prodded Atom for a short time before he mentioned Liberty, and the bartender reveals himself as the man Atom's looking for. He told him what he knew of the woman: she was looking for work some time ago, he gave her a job, and she hasn't been seen in the past few weeks. His son Samuel went missing while searching for her, and he'd like to see him returned home. He also mentioned Atom should be more careful on who he speaks to and what he says around here, especially with a dead machine at his back (Bandage).

When asked about River's father, he mentioned seeing him around. Bran's people indicated Dick Mortem has a presence in the pit fights, good place to start looking might be Sven's armory. When pressed for more details, none of importance were received.

Toussaint recalled Bran's family is known for uniting the werewolf tribes, and Bran himself is one of the oldest known werewolves. And he doesn't have a reputation for liking vampires.

### Arc 8: Redwater

After having Samuel returned to him, Bran and his gang had been throwing a non-stop party for 8 days. In that time, he'd also spread word through the other gangs around Junkyard not to fuck with the NW6, as the Party was in his good graces.

Before leaving for Redwater, the Party handed Tessa, Samuel's captor, off to the werewolves. Bran mentioned his group doesn't usually go for wholesale murder, but the decision on what to do with her fell with Samuel. And Samuel was not pleased with her.

### Arc 9: The Goat, the Witch, and the Warden

When searching for information on the witch Cassandra and the relic she wields, the Party questioned Bran over the net on what he knows of both. He sent them information on the Maw, the Bell, and the Witch's Blade, his pack's interest in pursuing relics, the Winter Suns and the Unbroken covens, and how Cassandra's magic may work.

### Arc 10: The Summit

Shortly before the Iron Alliance Summit was set to occur, mercenaries apparently hired by Queen Mab to disrupt the meeting were fought by the New Wells Six. The mercs carried with them canisters with an apparent ghost-rock based disease inside. One canister was punctured, and Toussaint was left with little choice but to choose a place to contain it—the pit. Addie made a call to Bran in an attempt to get help containing the spreading canister gas. Bran told her his son Charles specialized in radiation magic, and he would call for him at once. He told Addie he and his gang would need one hour, and then the summit could be held, before immediately hanging up.

True to his word, Charles contained the ghostrock radiation-fueled mist, allowing the delegates to safely enter the arena.

### Arc 15: Chasing Coyotes

Bran's son Charles came to Aurora Colorado to meet with Addie and her team. Upon being questioned if his dad got the invite to her wedding, he mentioned he had received it, and was overjoyed. He wanted to sing at the ceremony since he used to be a bard. Moving to more serious matters Bran was getting close to declaring war on OPEC if Charles' adopted sister, Mercedes, was not found and returned from their captivity.

He was reunited with Mercedes in Sumpter. He remained in town for a few days, attending Addie and River's wedding on the 23rd of November, where he sang at the ceremony.
