Once part of Malus' gang of loners, Briston had quickly become property of Anathema and Evangeline Lykoi. His group once called The Trenches their home before Anathema chased them out and claimed the lands for themselves. After continuously taunting the borders of the new pack, Briston and his fellow group members were eventually captured and forced to fight for their lives in Anathema's amphitheater for entertainment.
At the end of Briston's fight with Kohaku Amarok, he was claimed by Evangeline and made her personal slave, which despite his first thoughts, didn't turn out to be so bad. Briston and Evangeline grew close over the next few months, and at the end of the year at one of the pack's Halloween celebrations, Briston asked for his freedom.
Since then, Briston and Evangeline have developed a strong friendship and possibly a one-sided romance. Briston has become very protective over his charge with the sole intent to keep her safe, while also to keep a watchful eye on her and spend as much time with her as possible. Unbeknownst to her, he also sticks around to make sure his comrades are safe and alive. Though, in many of their eyes, Briston's freedom and initiation into the pack did not reflect well.

Key Relations
Evangeline Lykoi is Briston's self-proclaimed charge. He promised her he'd protect her with his life once he was granted his freedom. Evangeline and Briston have a dynamic relationship and they both seem to care for each other. However, Briston's affection for her seems to be very one-sided, and much to her dismay, he follows her around like a puppy at her heels.
Szenne is one of his comrades from Malus' gang. He thinks Szenne is highly judgmental without looking into all of the facts. Regardless, he respects her like he respects all of his comrades.
Malus Reinhart is his former gang leader, captured alongside him when Anathema decided to take action. Even though Malus was freed and left the pack, Briston still respects him, though it's waning due to his opinion of Malus' choices.
Ronan is also one of Briston's comrades from Malus' gang. Briston respects Ronan for his skills and cleverness. He also resents him for having many more useful skills than he does.
Ocke is one of Briston's comrades from Malus' gang. Briston respects Ocke for his skills and strength. Briston and Ocke seem to have been the closest out of the whole gang as they sometimes hunted and drank together.

Fighting

Hand-to-Hand Combat (Master): This goes without saying - this is his instinctual fighting reflex. When he doesn't have his sword, Briston often fights dirty and he intends to win.
