Prince Consort Brandohn, formerly titled Esquire Segallusk, is one of the main characters of TWCC. He was initially the de facto leader of Team Alpha and was labelled "The Tank" due to being the largest and (initially) the most skilled fighter. His compassionate and levelheaded yet laid-back personality also earned him role of Heart/Dad Friend within his group. Brandohn is now an alumna of Fonterossa and a full-fledged Specialist. Like Riven, he aims to be a Knight Templar, following in his mother's footsteps.
Brandohn is the only child of two high-class servants to the Heracklyon palace, making him aristocracy. As a child, Brandohn was ultimately Skai's meat shield personal bodyguard. He willingly maintained this position for years and for a while after Skai ascended to the throne. Having married Stella, heir of Solaria, he is now a prince consort.
APPEARANCE[]
Brandohn is seen as exceedingly handsome by most. He has a tall and well-built physique that consists of strong arms, legs and a very muscular torso. His skin has an almond-coloured tan and his eyes are a rich shade of brown. His hair is chestnut brown, parted to the left. Brandohn is super fashionable and dresses far more like nobility than Skai does. He also doesn't mind more "feminine" things. He wears eyeliner and nail polish occasionally and willingly allows Stella to put makeup on him. His ass is phat and he knows heels make it pop.
Civilian Outfits[]
Brandohn's style is classy casual. He is highly stylish but still fairly practical with his clothing choices. Accessories include watches, the occasional chain, scarves and sunglasses. Brandohn's colour palette is quite broad and colourful.
- Brandohn's first civilian outfit includes a black turtleneck, a knee-length brown coat, dark grey pants and brown loafers.
- Sleeveless forest-green draw-string hoodie and black sweatpants.
- White, blue and red vertical stripes shirt tucked into jeans and ankle-length blue-and-white shoes.
- red and blue midriff shirt with red and blue pants and a matching jacket.
- Long-sleeved pink shirt, grey jeans shorts and black-and-white converses. Brown hat.
Uniforms[]
Brandohn's core colour is green, so his uniform gems and weapons tend to reflect this. He has the most monochromatic colour scheme in that respect.
PERSONALITY[]
Brandohn is a laid-back but compassionate and fun-loving guy. He often comes across as superficial since he is indiscriminate with his flirting and places a considerable amount of time into his appearance. He is also a smooth talker, able to coax people with just his words. However, Brandohn is a genuine, tender and loyal friend. He is protective, highly empathic and always tries to uplift others. He is also highly optimistic, not easily disheartened by stressors — something which contributes to his easygoing and encouraging personality. Though he loves attention, Brandohn is soundly confident in himself and his abilities, never relying on validation to function.
Usually levelheaded and calm, Brandohn may flare up under certain circumstances. In Book 1, he occasionally hardens his relaxed demeanour to butt heads with Riven. Even then, he uses his words to de-escalate the situation. Brandohn also has a snarky side which once again comes out with Riven. Initially the desire to pick on him because he was an asshole, it morphs into the same friendly teasing he directs at Skai. Though he usually tries to pick his words carefully, Brandohn can be quite blunt when it's time to get down to business. He tends to avoid passing judgement off the bat, but he operates based on his observations. He grows to become a bit of a worrywart when he senses his teammates are going through periods of distress. This is most noticeable in his relationships with Riven and Skai.
Brandohn harbours often forgotten insecurities in regards to his position as an esquire. As Skai's specialist abilities grow, the assassination attempts become more creative/pointed, and the king begins to scrutinize him more frequently, Brandohn becomes quite self-conscious and defensive. Though he usually never lets it get the best of him, Brandohn likes attention and wants to give his best impression at all times. He can usually live through any faulty impressions, but King Erendor's scrutiny is like a particularly sharp blade that slashes through all his confidence.
Despite his more dandy traits, Brandohn is outdoorsy and athletic. He excels in melee combat and has a passion for fitness.
Brandohn is one of the the most put-together members of the Winx Club. His home life is great, he's a great friend, and an even better boyfriend. He loves attention and prefers that people perceive him positively, but he's generally content with himself. His biggest issue comes out when he's faced with Skai's father — the king of Heracklyon. Brandohn often doubts his ability to protect Skai and becomes very self-conscious of himself when the king scrutinizes him. This often makes him irritable for a time afterwards.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES[]
Combat Specialist[]
- Athletic Combat & Agility - As the major powerhouse and a combat expert, Brandohn is strong, fit, and flexible for maximum combat efficiency.
- Weapon Proficiency
- Strategy - Though it isn't his specialty, Brandohn is quite skilled at adapting various strategies in combat.
Weapons[]
Brandohn prefers to rely on a few multi-purpose melee weapons to both attack and defend.
- Shapeshifter
- Broadsword
- Twin Blades
- Double-Bladed Sword
- Dagger
- Electric Mace
- High Empathy: For all his denial, Brandohn is quite perceptive — even to situations that do not directly concern him. He is certainly not perfect at it, and it often takes time for him to show his discernment; but he is significantly more in tune with others than most.
- Mental Strength: Brandohn is in tune with his own body and emotional thoughts and is able to maintain a positive outlook on most things in life.
- Giving Advice
- Sports Mastery
- Waiter/Smoothie Barista
- Brandohn lacks training in the use of external magic. Though specialist weapons are imbued with inner magical energy that can usually withstand/produce magical attacks, they are not the most powerful for attacks/defense when facing high-level magic users.
- Though his levelheaded nature often comes in handy in stressful situations, Brandohn can come off as too laid back at times. It is, of course, because he doesn't sense genuine reason for worry. He will step in if things start escalating or change his tone to appease his friend-in-distress; but his initial attitude belies his compassion.
This comes back to bite him.
RELATIONSHIPS[]
LOVE INTERESTS[]
FRIENDS[]
Specialists[]
Brandohn and Skai are childhood friends. As a result, they are familiar with the lesser known aspects of one another. Brandohn is keenly aware of Skai's chronic struggle with self-expression. As kids, Brandohn didn't really understand Skai's fears well and was unable to provide proper comfort after the first assassination attempt. Now, however, seeing Skai default to his "everything is fine" smile when he's obviously distressed causes Brandohn to feel guilty for not being there when Skai needed someone to open up to. Though he tries to be as supportive as possible, Brandohn doesn't believe he can get Skai to be forthcoming with him any time soon.
Riven's hotheaded and uncooperative behaviour made Brandohn — then de facto leader of Team A — have to mash heads with him from time to time. Two notable instances include the Black Mud Swamp incident and the Fonterossa Exhibition. Each time, Brandohn got irritated enough to harden his usually relaxed demeanor in order to combat Riven's behavior. Though Riven tends to escalate situations, Brandohn has a knack for de-escalating them, so he usually ends their spats rather quickly. Likewise, Riven would deflate once Brandohn refused to show interest in extracurricular sparring matches. This is why Riven doesn't regard him as a rival. Brandohn grows to understand bits and pieces about how and why Riven operates the way he does. He finds that Riven is actually quite predictable, albeit in a very roundabout way. He grows to see Riven's little idiosyncrasies as "rougishly charming and cute" and tries his best to help him and Mūsa along in Book 2.
Despite their differences, Brandohn has been known to agree with Riven in certain situations. He also found it odd that Helia, who showed zero interest in Specialist activities, had returned to Fonterossa, and sympathized with Riven's inability to fathom why Mūsa was so down on him in Book 3 (as did the others to varying degrees). When Riven begins to spiral in Book 5-6, Brandohn tries multiple ways to get through to him, including talking/reasoning, arguing and straight up fighting him at one point. When he leaves Fonterossa to find himself, Brandohn gives Riven a sleeveless shirt that is black in the front and yellow from the shoulders to the back. He reminds Riven that yellow represents hope. Though it's bigger than him, Riven rewashes and rewears this shirt frequently during his travel.
Generally speaking, Brandohn is the Specialist most likely to provoke and roast Riven, unprompted. Initially, it was the compulsion to tease him because he was a dick. However, it's evolved to "gentle bullying" between friends, so long as Riven's not in a bad mood.
Timmi and Brandohn are pretty different in nature. Where Brandohn loves attention and does what he can to maintain it, Timmi is fine with little to none at all. Brandohn can also get caught up on the more shallow aspects of things rather than the underlying issue — as with Tekhne, he believes Timmi putting more time into a stylish appearance would help to retain their attention. Timmi knows better. Even so, Timmi and Bran can agree to disagree on most things. There have also been a handful of times where Brandohn — being the tallest — had to lift Timmi — being the shortest — so the latter could work on something. Both enjoy this far more than they care to admit.
As far as Brandohn is concerned, Helia is a literal god. Beautiful, talented and he doesn't even have to try to do everything perfectly. Like Riven, Brandohn was at first skeptical about Helia's presence at Fonterossa, citing his self-proclaimed pacifism and general disinterest in anything but art. He is his father's child though, so Brandohn tries not to let preconceived notions get in the way of being kind. Upon first seeing Helia's extreme combat perception, Brandohn starts to piece together why Helia is at Fonterossa in spite of his aversion. Having figured out how powerful he is, paired with his inherent skills, Brandohn is often in awe and can't begin to fathom how OP Helia would be if he hadn't superficially handicapped himself. Brandohn has long wanted to get his hands all into Helia's sexy locks and style it. Unfortunately, the first time Helia allows to touch it is so he can cut it.
Brandohn and Helia have a similar conflict resolution style which includes dealing with the immediate problem rather than the underlying issues. Helia is more of a gift giver than a talker though.
Helia is Brandohn's type — pretty and powerful. Had he not been devoted to Stella, Brandohn might have pursued Helia when they were younger.
Brandohn: How's the most beautiful man in the world doing today?"
Helia: I don't know, Brandohn, how are you?
Brandohn, beaming: I'm great!
"You look different," Brandohn commented. "Something's changed. Hasn't it?"
Helia smiled softly. "I guess it has... By the way, can you do me a favour?"
Winx[]
FAMILY[]
Brandon's mother is the captain of the royal guards while his father is a renowned patissier and chef. Both are employed by the Eraklyon Royal Court. Both have endomorphic bodies so Brandon inherited his larger physique from them. Brandon's father sticks out a little as he does a job ectomorphs would be expected to pursue but he's good at it regardless. His mother is the one that inspired his interests as a warrior and he gets his "empath" traits from his father. They wholeheartedly support their son in all of his endeavours and are HUGE fans of Stella.
OTHERS[]
CHARACTER TRIVIA[]
- Brandohn's favorite color is yellow. It is bright, beautiful and instills optimism in him.
- He is openly pansexual.
- Brandohn has been asked on multiple occasions if he is an empath, due to his ability to pick up on subtle cues and give relevant advice. Though his father is actually an empathy, Brandohn firmly denies that he is because "I've failed to pick up on things much too obvious for a real empath to miss."
- Though Brandohn does not believe himself to be the best at giving advice, he will implode with guilt if he doesn't at least try to help a struggling friend. He also fails to acknowledge his advice is right 9 times out of 10.
- Just as his mother inspired his interest in becoming a knight, Brandohn's father inspired his hobby of baking.
- Despite keeping his own hair short and simple, Brandohn absolutely loves combing others' hair.
