Description:

Standing at about 5'9", he has a lean yet compact and firm build, having lost the puppy fat that he once had. These days he's on the edge of being thin with a slim waist and decent shoulders, blending into the crowd with his pretty much average features.
His face is fairly thin, with high cheekbones and not the strongest of jaws. Not that bothered with his appearance, he always has a thick stubble covering his jaw and cheeks which he seems to shave now and then.
He has the letters 'Dom' tattooed on the back of his left shoulder, and he's got a tattoo of a wolf pup on his left forearm.

Personality:

Bradley has sociopath tendencies. Unstable, unpredictable and very prone to violent outbursts, he is a creature of impulse. He sees loyalty as the most important trait a person can have, and he despises scheming and backstabbing. Thus, he's incredibly loyal to people he'd count as family.
Because of his new position, he's been forced to mature a little from his previous chaotic and careless behavior. Still, he loves chaos and he rarely takes situations seriously, which is why he often comes of as arrogant and amoral. While he's generally pretty good with people, he really enjoys humiliating cocky people, such as nobles and white knights, yet when someone or something shows a sign of weakness, he often finds himself a little protective, especially over children and small animals.
He sees himself as a good leader figure because of his generally dominant behavior, and he thinks that control and dominance isn't always about fear and violence. While he occasionally resorts to this when he needs to straighten someone out, he feels as if mutual loyalty and respect often gives the same, perhaps even better results in the end.

History:

He was born and grew up in Keel. While his family had a fair income, he spend most of his youth on the streets. Here, he made close friends and associates, all of them involved in low life street crime, and other hoodlumery from a very young age. But for Bradley, who grew up in a home with a violent, abusive father, an absent and broken mother and his younger sister, who he couldn't protect, this was a better life. He had backup here. He had loyal friends, and his fellow hoodlums treated him with respect. He knew, from a very early age, that he belonged here.

Shanghaied into the crew of the Gilnean Brotherhood, a quite powerful crime syndicate at the time lead by the infamous John Deck, Bradley was connected to powerful people in the underworld as early as the age of twelve.  After he was kicked out of his home at the age of fourteen, he went in and out of the local jail several times, for cases such as assault and thievery.

Eventually, as the wall fell, Brad reunited with his sister and hid in the more or less abandoned and war-torn remains of Keel. After a while of living in solitude, one of Bradley's old friends, William, suddenly shows up. William brings both of them to Stormwind,where he recruits them into one of the local street gangs running most of the Dwarven District. Here, Bradley quickly rose to power within Stormwind's underworld, but at the same time he lost his old and loyal friends, and in the end, also his sister. He eventually rose all the way to the top in the gang, and a triumvirate was formed between a mysterious tanarisi called Simon, Bradley and the former head of the gang, William Jefferson. But when Simon suddenly dissapears, a cold war broke loose between William and Bradley, both looking to run the gang as kingpins themselves. While Will was far more experienced, Bradley has most of the gang behind him, and for a while, it seemed as the gang was in Brad's hands. But in the end, Brad and Will made a deal to let Will step up while Bradley was made his right hand, and advisor. Nobody wanted bloodshed, and Bradley thought Will would function as a lighting pole, appreciating the position of being the background guy, still with power.

William eventually dissapeared, presumed dead, and a new kingpin rose, Sullee Swiftspeech. After a while, Bradley ended up murdering his sister, and ran away to Gilneas, accompanied by Lucy. Sullee, who thought Bradley had betrayed him, sent his henchmen to look for them. In Gilneas, they met a hermit, and with the help of his powers, managed to heal Bradley after he was shot in the back with a poisoned crossbow bolt, by none other then Mia, Sullee's underboss.

After a few months in Gilneas, an uprising began in the Dwarven District, and Sullee Swiftspeech was replaced by a new kingpin, Rend. Bradley eventually returned, and continued to hold influence within the gang, while attempting to cope with his past.

Surprise, he's rainbow coloured!

I just figured, information that one would obtain simply by -looking at Bradley- wouldn't be on your list of well kept secrets.

Skin color, for example.

Updated this to something a lot less stupid. Woosh.

Where's my spotlight?!

I read through his views on people and I realized that I was sorta just repeating myself over and over with each and every one, so figured I'd just take it all down.

I'll update this a bit more at some point today.
