Braxton

Spoilers ahead!This article contains spoilers for the story of Illusion Lock and Illusion Lock Village.
Braxton is one of the seven residents of the island, resistant to clams and weak to eyes.

## Story

When he was a teen, his leg was bitten by a salt ant, causing it to turn into salt. Braxton arrived on the island after a sailing accident, where his boat capsized after getting lost, causing him to wash up onto the shore of the island.

Braxton is the first character we see fighting a boss, Dishneck, in IL02. Braxton enters the same area in IL08, though no boss or obstacles is present, and describes how according to Georgia the Tooth Home is a living entity, wondering how it got to island. A blue building then appears, which Braxton exits through, placing him in the water surrounding the island. Moving west of the island, he finds a large fish, and enters through its mouth to find Susanna.

After speaking to Susanna, he exits the fish mouth and finds Gus, who warns of Sop and tells Braxton he can return to the island. We see him approach the west shore, where Theresa is meditating, though he turns around and walks away.

In IL14, Braxton is back on the island speaking to Russell, who tells him there is one more thing that must be done before they leave. Braxton enters the cave, and stomps on the body of Sop (previously weakened by Eleanor), seemingly with his salt leg, killing Sop. After he exits the cave, we next see him with the other living inhabitants of the island, leaving for the mainland.

Braxton described how he arrived on the island in IL15 to Chester, before talking about the "treel" that passes by. Due to a storm, the fish they were riding away on turns back, and him and the rest of the group go to wait out the storm in Tooth Home. After Eleanor leaves, they go to search for her, with Braxton trying and failing to stop Chester entering Sop's house.

Meeting back up with Eleanor, the group combine to form Yotis, fighting the final boss and choosing to stay on the island. Theresa leaves the island in IL22, leaving a letter behind, which is found by Braxton in IL24. After finding out the truth, he leaves the island, saying goodbye to Paisley before exiting across the sea. After being found by Susanna, he lends her some of his salt for Gus. She describes how he had the truth at 14, lost it between 18 and 19, and was too distracted until 24, where he found the letter.

Theresa arrives at the fish mouth in IL26, but it was too late for them to save Gus.

We next see Braxton in Illusion Lock Village, after reaching the mainland. He explores the Church of Yotis, finding the silent spot, and collecting a symbol. He can also be seen Sop's version of Illusion Lock in ILV08. When Braxton next enters the Church of Yotis in ILV10, the silent spot has been blocked by a purple object. Braxton is on screen when Burke is taken into the game, and is also present at the wedding in ILV14, where he speaks to Eleanor.

## Character

Braxton has dark skin and hair, and wears a red shirt with yellow trousers. He has one black shoe on his right foot, with his salt leg on his left bare. His wedding outfit replaces his red t-shirt with a black shirt and red tie, and a light grey suit jacket on top.

## Trivia

* Edgar's speech is blocked by the Sleep Operation Program when describing how being bitten by a salt ant feels, though he does say it doesn't hurt.
	+ While never describes it hurting, Braxton does mention his salt leg tingling several times - in IL16 outside of Sop's house with Chester, and in IL24, where it reminds him of defeating Sop.
	+ Braxton killing Sop with his salt leg could be a parallel to the tale of the old god being defeated by a sword of salt.
* One of Braxton's interests being card games in ILV03 could be a reference to the events of IL27.
