Brandon Heat

Brandon Heat (Beyond the Grave) is the series' main character. Protecting Harry causes Millennion to label him as a traitor, because Harry is a wanted man to the organization. He is supposed to be executed for that due to Millennion's Code of Iron, but thanks to Mika's intervention, he is saved, although scorned by most people in Millennion. However, after willingly letting Biscoe and Norton punish him as a traitor, Brandon is pardoned and continues living as Mika's parental figure.

Personality

Brandon is meek, gentle, and loyal. He tends to let his actions speak for him. However, being very loyal, especially to Millennion and Mika, he'll do anything to protect them. If he has to hurt, extort, or even kill civilians to protect them, he'll do it. This causes him to come across as a cold person, although deep down, he is a warm-hearted guy. His gentleness is especially apparent whenever he's with Mika.

Despite his stoic nature, when a certain button is pushed, Brandon can show emotions and go completely out of control. Calling him a traitor can either anger him or cause him to break down, depending on who he's facing. Threatening or harming his friends and/or family, especially Mika, is a surefire way to incur his wrath.

Brandon has a sense of fairness and is also an 'eye for an eye' type of person. Having betrayed Millennion in the first sub-series, he willingly lets himself take the proper retribution. His modus operandi as a loan shark involves stealing the clients' belongings if they can't pay up, beating the clients if they fight back, and ultimately, killing the clients if they kill his fellow loan shark.

Powers, Abilities, and Weaknesses

Being a necrolyzer, Brandon possesses immense strength, which counters his loss of left arm. He can snap a walking stick in half, carry a TV, and push down a traffic light with a hand. He may be slow due to using an artificial leg to replace his right leg, but his toughness makes up for it. He is immune to regular bullets, and his body is capable of smashing most objects thrown at him (e.g. a wooden chair). Unfortunately, his artificial leg isn't that strong, which is why it breaks more often than not. Formerly a hitman in Millennion, Brandon is also very skilled in guns.

Having lost his sense of smell and taste and his left visual field, Brandon has an acute sense of hearing to counter them. He also has abnormally high pain threshold, which is both a blessing and a curse for him. He can keep on fighting, but may never realize how fatal his wounds are until the doctor checks him.

Brandon, being a reanimated corpse, is immune to cold weather. Due to the low temperature inhibiting the microbial growth in his flesh, he lasts longer and is more active during winter. However, Brandon dislikes hot, humid weather, because it accelerates the microbial growth in his flesh and causes him to decay faster. This is also why he prefers clean, sterile place and has to keep his residence disinfected regularly.
