Brutus is a man in his late thirties and he is a founding member of the council. He is a wealthy businessman from a kingdom of blacksmiths. He, as well as his whole species, has abilities similar to those of fire benders, which gives them intricate control over their craft. He worked to get to the spot hes at now and is mostly emotionally distant from most people. He can be seen as rude, pushy and stubborn. He seems to have a general dislike towards most monarchs in general, believing that "they got lucky with their heritage".
