Brian is a Washington political operative in his early thirties. He's young, organized and charismatic. He's got brown hair that's a touch too long to be conservative, hazel eyes and a twist of a smile. He's the sort of guy who looks good in a suit, and he's almost always in a suit.
From a well-off Connecticut family, Brian did his undergrad in Political Science at Yale. He got his law degree from Harvard, where he specialized in International Law, and spent a year of it in Oman on a Fullbright Scholarship. In the 8 years between when he passed the bar and September 11, 2001, he had been Deputy Minority Council for the House Committee on International Relations (2 1/2 years), Floor Manager for the House Minority Whip (2 years), Majority Council for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (2 years) and, finally, Chief of Staff for Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee (1 1/2 years).
Brian loves politics and on his best days he really does believe it can make the country a better place to be. He has political ambition of his own and was building connections for a bid for the House in 2004 when September 11th hit. In the aftermath of four years away from the world, he's starting to think he's going to have to find a different way to make the world a better place.
Out of the core group of Survivors, Brian's the most physically changed, at least in outward appearance. He's grown by more than a foot, so that now stands at some 7 and a half feet tall, and his frame's filled out to match. What used to be the soft pudginess of a man who's daily exercise was pacing around an office has hardened into what seems to be sculpted muscle over a pair of broad shoulders. Brian was always an impressive speaker; now he's a pressence
Brian's dealing with the changes The Survivors are undergoing through political action; in other words, he's throwing himself into his work. But more than that, he knows Washington and he knows the press. He knows what could happen to all of these poor, defenseless people if they don't have someone to look out for them. Right now, he feels that he has to be that someone.
