| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Pre-revival===
| |
| {{Quote|The past is in the past, though sometimes, I can't help but wonder who I used to be.|Brayden-4 on the topic of his past}}
| |
| Brayden-4 never cared much for his distant past, and so he never bothered to look into it much. All that is known is that in his previous life, he was made into an Exo, was rebooted several times before humanisms were uploaded into his frame. He had distant memories of a wife who served in the [[Cassini]]. For unknown reasons, he was present at [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh,_Pennsylvania Pittsburgh] during [[The Collapse]] and eventually perished there.

| ===The Dark Age===
| |
| {{Quote|Back then, we didn't have a [[The Last City|Last City]], [[Vanguard]], or even [[Iron Lords]]. We were on our own, with no guidance.|Freya reminiscing on old history}}
| |
| During the Dark Age, Brayden was revived by the ghost [[Forum:Freya|Freya]] while inside of a helicopter. The two spent the first few years together roaming around Appalachia, surviving against [[Fallen]], wildlife, and other threats. He calls being brought back to life again and again. Eventually, outside the ruins of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roanoke,_Virginia Roanoke], Brayden and Freya encountered the leader of the Fallen in Appalachia, a vicious Fallen Kell known as the [[Forum:Kell of Blades|Kell of Blades]]. Disgusted by the Kell's enslavement of human settlements, Brayden encountered the Kell of Blades, killed him in combat, and drove the Fallen out of the Appalachian Dead Zone. There, he reigned as the benevolent, but repressive Warlord over all human settlements in the ADZ.
| |
|
| |
| A few years into his rule, Brayden's regime came under threat by fellow Warlord [[Forum:Hestia|Hestia]], who was operating out of the ruins of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham,_Alabama Brimingham]. Hestia had been expanding northwards for some time and had finally reached Brayden's domain. Rather than send his forces in mass, the Exo Risen decided to challenge Hestia to a duel, which she accepted. Though the fight was brutal, and nearly costed Brayden his life, he emerged victorious, managing to overpower his enemy and snap Hestia's neck. He claimed her Greatsword, which he named [[Forum: The Sovereign's Wrath|The Sovereign's Wrath]].

|
| |
| ===The City Age===
| |
| A while later, Appalachia was suffering from a great famine. Many people were suffering from harsh weather and a food shortage, and they demanded their warlord do something of it. Brayden had learned of a camp to the South where the remnants of humanity had banded together, thanks to a merchant. With no other option, Brayden and Freya organized broke down the settlements into a massive convoy and made way for the settlement. The road was long and harsh as the convoy was forced to fight the elements, wildlife, Fallen, and even fellow Warlords. However, Brayden inspired the caravan to push on and not give up hope.
| |
|
| |
| Eventually, Brayden reached [[The Last City]], or at least the camp that preceded it. His colony contributed machinery and building supplies to the camp, and Brayden himself gave up the title of Warlord to serve with his Risen bretheren. He worked closely with [[Zavala]], [[Sloane]], [[Shaxx]], [[Saladin Forge|Saladin]], and other Guardians to construct the City's walls and maintain stability. After the city finished construction, Brayden was approached by the [[Firebreak Order]] and joined their ranks.
