| Had a look at the Brennan website. I like the layout, but I have trouble considering him a loyal person. Would you say he behaved loyally towards Adam? Or would you rather say he was just looking for his own advantage within the team ? |

Good question.
I don't think Brennan was loyal to Adam, but i think he was loyal to Shalimar, Jesse & Emma. While he had never really trusted Adam, and questioned his every decision i think he would have died protecting Shalimar and Jesse (in s3) if he had to. Again, i don't believe Brennan really trusted Lexa. Both Lexa & Adam had too many secrets. And yes, at first i think he agreed to join Mutant X for his own advantage (for a thief on the run hiding and being under the protection of an influential man is ideal). |

Well perhaps we judge him too harshly.
Brennan Mulwray has spent the majority of his life learning from his mistakes, and living by his wits. Trust with him, must be earned - but can equally be thrown away by a misdeed or what he construes a betrayal.
When it comes to Adam, he's conflicted - because here is the father figure he never had, but at the same time he isnt his father, so can have no control over what Brennan wants to do or feels he should do.
When Adam abandons the team and lets them think him dead, Brennan is so disgusted by the idea of him doing that to HIM as well as the team, because he thought so highly of Adam, that he reacts in anger. Again if Adam is to win back Brennan's trust - he'll have to earn it all over again.
Its things that Adam witholds, or hides that does Brennan's head in - and as for leading the team, thats what Adam had intended all along when he recruited Brennan in the first place. Someone who could take the crap, and still do what was right for the team, even if it meant going against Adam himself.
The episode 'Final Judgement' confirms this viewpoint, at first Brennan is angry at Adam for not telling them the truth and he isnt afraid to question Adam directly and in front of the others. But as soon as he learns Adam's in trouble - BAM! He's off to the rescue leading the others as he also does in Into The Moonless Night with Lexa and company.
With Brennan its actions, not pretty speeches that win him over - and sometimes Adam doesnt give him the break he needs to, so Brennan naturally mistrusts him.
But push comes to shove? You mess with Adam Kane, Shalimar Fox, Jesse Kilmartin, Lexa Pierce? You better be ready to mess with Brennan Mulwray.
And thats a fact. |

| Brennan is really a good guy who has had a hard life. He didnt have people to show him a path that could avoid many things. I think he saw Adam as a chance to escape his past and try something good as he's always had a good heart just used it in the wrong way in what he had only known. Brennan realized there was a bigger picture in that. He's not stupid he can read in between the lines thought not all the time or always accurately and is fiercely loyal to his friends, including Adam. He may have been pissed at Adam for keeping secrets but I think he'd still defend him if needed. Loyalty is not easily forgotten. |

| You are right Rain...and if he wasn't loyal maybe he had betrayed Adam in the episode with that disk when Adam was the buyer of the disk(damn!can't remember the name right now)so i think he is loyal |

Quote: Brennan is really a good guy who has had a hard life.
He murders, he steals, and that's after years under the supposedly benign influence of his MX buddies and Adam.
He is lowlife scum--you are only cutting the character slack because of Victor Webster's face. Imagine him unattractive, with a high-pitched squeaky voice, dorky clothes, and general smelliness...and the character would loose all sympathy among his fans who find criminality attractive.
It's all about eye candy. Making excuses for this bum only serves to make the excuse maker look darn shallow. |

You really need to explain this.
After all, creating characters and giving them particular characteristics is what writers DO.
Brennan somehow is not a thief and murderer? He's the victim? |

Explain this whole notion that Brennan is the victim. Brennan does certain things, and we are supposed to think that he doesn't really, really want to kill, steal, etc., it's just those rotten writers making him do these things?
Brennan is what he is. |

Are you seriously saying only other thieves and murderers can understand Brennan?
And since only such can understand him, honest, non-violent people have no right to have criminals arrested and incarcerated, right?
It's our duty to be victims to support these poor, misunderstood souls, correct? |
