**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 47 - Manny-handling. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

Bruler is a purple-skinned tiefling. He's kind of cute and looks great in a bomber jacket >:)

After Patty puts him in the Saw-style trap, he lives but is severely injured. He walks with a limp and is "horribly disfigured." He wears the Dentist costume to trick the party into getting on the Nan Tahrum train.

## Backstory

Bruler refers to himself as an anarchemist. He is not a member of RAID but supplies them bombs. He considers himself a lone wolf and RAID to be beneath him. When Patty working with RAID, she met with him to retrieve bombs.

He is madly in love with Patty Hurts, but also tried to kill her, so not sure what's going on there.

## Current Events

Bruler put out a notice looking for a "female ratfolk, approximately four feet tall, white fur, red eyes, pink nose, expensive taste, most beautiful creature you'll ever lay eyes on." When Patty and the squad descend into Newhaven's black market, they find a mole delivering this message and that Patty is in the area. Bruler sends Thieves Guild thugs to kidnap her.

Bruler feels betrayed that Patty has turned her back on the common man, having read the reports from her trial that she was brainwashed the whole time and seeing her standing next to the queen of Birwine at the Arrowpeak competition. He straps a bomber jacket to her and leads her to the potion shop, believing it to be Shadowend's war room. He plans to blow up the shop and Patty with it. Patty attacks him, which he's kind of into. With the help of the gerbie, Patty is able to put Bruler in the bomber jacket and leaves him in a Saw-style trap.

All of the people in Newhaven who have been wronged by Janni Squad come together to form the Black Market Boys, and ambush the party on their train to Nan Tahrum. Bruler puts on the Dentist costume and confronts Patty in the caboose, where he has strapped Gentry Til to a bomb along with four other detonators. Patty attacks him but Bruler runs away. On top of the train car, he fights with Manny and Zelf before Janni Innaj kills him. As the train further derails, Bruler's body is thrown off the train.

The amount of known damage is 58, meaning Bruler's HP has to be 56 or over (55 damage to hit 0, plus at least 1 damage from the coin).
