[LEAD]
Brendan is always very friendly and eager to help out to the point that he risks coming off as overbearing. He’s generally upbeat (that comes with working with students) and is always trying to stay on people’s good sides. Underneath his cheery nature, however, is a man who is always stressed out and worried about something, even if there’s nothing to worry about at all. Brendan is constantly hyper focused on ensuring his own survival/success, and is not above committing under-the-table deals to do so. He's aware that a nice attitude will get him far and goes out of his way to ensure that people only see him as a friendly face and nothing else. Brendan is very good at following instructions. Furthermore, Brendan will, 99% of the time, agree to help someone if he believes that they are an ‘authority figure’ (AKA saying no would lead to consequences) and will complete the task they give him regardless of what that task is. In other words, he’s a major yes-man.

Mid to mid-low pitch, masculine, early 20s. Soft, grounded tone with light warmth and a faint airy edge. Steady, slightly slow delivery with clear, careful articulation. Not a very over-the-top speaker, but carries a gentle eagerness in softer inflections. Calm, down-to-earth, and easy to listen to.
