Brandon Fury

**Brandon Fury** is a character role-played by Kurosaji.

## Background

Brandon Fury (a.k.a. The Grandmaster) is a former serial killer, psychopath, and leader of The Black Hand. Growing up he was falsely accused for setting fire to the house and sent to a mental institution for 15 years. It was there where he was experimented on, drugged, poked and prodded for what seemed like an eternity. When Brandon was released from the medical facility, he returned to his parents, and showed them what a real fire looks like, burning them both alive with gasoline. It was then that he moved to Los Santos, as he wanted to get away from his cursed life, only to realize that he arrived to the death of a distant unknown relative. This cemented the idea that Brandon was cursed to be a natural harm to society.

## The Restoration and The Black Hand

Brandon felt lost and hopeless, until he was visited by The Dark Lord. In a vision, Brandon was tasked to bring about The Restoration and form The Black hand. Brandon found it fitting to adopt the moniker of "The Grandmaster", as someone who is smarter than, or always one step ahead of The Police and the direction of society. In a playful sense, he incorporated this to his kills, where he would draw blood from the victims, burn a chess piece into their head, force a king mask on them, and burn them alive. Brandon would then bait the cops with various encoded messages in various degrees of encryption.

As a stepping stone, The Dark Lord suggested he seek out Nikolas Fortune as a prophet to carry out his wishes. Brandon wanted any followers he could get to bring about The Restoration (which is basically just mayhem, apocalypse, and instituting Brandon as Supreme Ruler), so he tracked down Nikolas Fortune (a.k.a. The Director) to prison. It was then he found out he was in for life. Since the Dark Lord commands his release, and knows he is an asset, Brandon did favors for The Director. In service to The Dark Lord's wishes, Brandon is going any lengths he can to break The Director out of prison, especially because he knows The Director is also divine.

After several murders of civilians and government officials, Brandon dissolved The Black Hand as a sacrifice to The Dark Lord. He used them to try and bring about the final plans for the restoration. Brandon had devised a chemical weapon made from blood crystal and Lucian Evo's Blood. This culminated in a stand off at the bridge of the aircraft carrier with the police and a hostage. Backed into a corner, Brandon had a vision from The Dark Lord, who said that there was no escape and a sacrifice must be made. Brandon executed the hostage, and dropped two police officers before he was neutralized. The police deactivated the launch sequence before the five minute threshold at which the weapon could no longer be aborted.

## Post Chemical Attacks

Brandon was apprehended and admitted defeat, because loss isn't contested in a game of chess. There are winners and losers, it is definitive. Despite using a Black Hand member as hostage for the chemical attack plan, Brandon was content not to not turn anyone involved in his previous crimes. However, he was immediately scorned, and told The Black Hand was out for revenge. As a result he tracked down remaining adversaries and burned them alive. This action was swiftly met with disapproval, and The Black Hand members fulfilled their promise to attack Brandon. Brandon was abducted and burned alive.

## Death

Willow Lindberg took revenge on Brandon for using her deceased friend Biggus as cannon fodderin previous torture incidents. She lured Brandon into a trap where he was stabbed multiple times with a karambit. His body was taken to Humane Labs for experimentation.
