Brian

**Brian Griffin** is an 8-year old talking white Labrador who has lived with the Griffin family until his death. Much like Jesus Christ returning to his Father's kingdom, Brian returns to his own personal afterlife known as the **Brian Society**. He forever lives on as one of many deities.

## Background

### Backstory

Brian was born on a farm in Austin, Texas, in a litter of five puppies. His mother was named Biscuit, his father was a dog named Coco. He was apparently abandoned by his mother, which lead to most of his personal problems. In "Don't Make Me Over", he is embarrassed for hostility barking at a famous rapper and blamed his upbringing by his father Coco. At the end of the episode he becomes enraged because he is thinks that the camera man is shocked because he turned off a black TV program and explains that he only turns it off because he's tired and not because it's a black show. He is said to be 8 years old in "The Man with Two Brians".

When reunited with his first owner in "Road to Rhode Island".. In the same episode, he discovers that his mother died and was made into a table. Brian and Stewie steal the body and give it a funeral, for which Stewie made a good-intentioned but insensitive requiem of how nice of a table she was.

### Deaths

In "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story", Stewie traveled to a future where he learned that Brian died. Brian is seen in heaven at a table drinking martinis with Vincent van Gogh, Kurt Cobain, and Ernest Hemingway. They then all say that they killed themselves out of passion for various reasons. He then admits that he ate some chocolate out of the trash can.

One Brian from an alternate future arrived with its throat cut to cross paths with a multitude of other Brian and Stewies in "Back to the Pilot".

An "unlucky" Brian leaped to his death from a balcony at the Vegas Star Hotel as part of a suicide pact with Stewie to avoid an enforcer for a loan shark in "Roads to Vegas". Stewie however, reconsidered and failed to leap as well.

Brian is hit by a car and killed in "Life of Brian". The family decides to move on with their lives and buys a new dog, Vinny. However, Stewie is still depressed and tries to ask the Santa at the Quahog Mall to help bring Brian back without luck in "Christmas Guy". Spotting himself on a trip to the past, present-day Stewie "borrows" the time pad from his former self and warns Brian in time to save him.

### Past adult life

In addition to having attended Brown University, Brian had also served in the Peace Corps in "Jungle Love". He has also mentioned that he hung out with Andy Warhol in "A Picture's Worth a Thousand Bucks".

### Griffin family

In "Brian in Love", Brian suffers from incontinence due the stress of repressing his romantic feelings toward Lois. He initially tries to hide this condition by blaming it on Stewie, but is discovered when he has a public accident in the grocery store.

Another example of Brian's "humanity" is his attraction to human women; Brian has dated several since the show began, and is deeply in love with Peter's wife.

His age is usually treated differently depending on the joke. In "Brian in Love", he states: "I'm seven years old and if I play my cards right, I got seven more years ahead of me." Brian spent some time as a homeless stray washing car windshields for change before he met Peter, who offered him a home with his family in Quahog, Rhode Island.

### Resurrection

After Brian's passing in Family Guy his soul was marked as a messiah, granting him extraordinary gifts and rank. So much so that his own personal heaven dubbed the **Brian Society** manifested before him. His newfound powers grant him access to many deistic privileges and responsibilities.

## Power

### **Eternal Cutaway**

Brian summons a gigantic, magical television box that warps the target into it, imprisoning them for up to an infinite amount of time. Within the television, they witness and star in every single Family Guy cutaway from the past, present, and future non-stop. Like a black hole, there is no escape from this T.V.; The only person that can free the tortured soul is Brian himself. He can summon as much of them as he likes with no detriment to his **Message Count** and can pull them out immediately. He also controls how many times a particular cutaway gag can be shown and he can manipulate volume and visuals.
