Overview

Brian is a weathered Keys lifer who has been running drugs through the islands for decades. His business, Brian's Boat Works and Marina, is officially a repair yard and a launch point for charter trips. In practice it doubles as the operating base for his smuggling crew.

Jason lives on Brian's property in a trailer and works for him on the runs.

Role in the story

Trailer 2 frames Brian as the senior figure in Jason's working life. He is shown driving Jason through swampland in a pickup, and one Newswire still captures him at sunset behind a pier rail at the marina with a beer in hand.

Trivia

His official portrait shirt reads "Kenny Brewster", a fictional in-world musician.

His left forearm shows a stylised shark tattoo visible in close-up frames.
