— Brenner -

Brenner is a Commanding Officer in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin from Rubinelle and the leader of the 12th Battalion, also known as Brenner's Wolves.

He is called O'Brian in the European release (Advance Wars: Dark Conflict) and ブラウン (Buraun Brown) in the unreleased Japanese version (Famicom Wars DS: Ushinawareta Hikari).

Role

At the start of the game, Brenner and Lin rescue Will from the ruins of the Rubinelle academy as the latter was pursued by Bandit Raiders. He and Lin served as Will's mentors.

A year after the meteors struck, Brenner reluctantly sides with Admiral Greyfield's New Rubinelle Army to fight against the Lazurian Army, led by General Forsythe. The 12th Battalion and the NRA defeat the Lazurians at Fort Lazuria, where Forsythe surrenders himself. However, Forsythe is soon ruthlessly executed on Greyfield's orders while the rest of the Lazurians are rounded up to be executed at an NRA internment camp. Feeling distraught, Brenner and the 12th Battalion break the Lazurians out of captivity. Brenner, wounded in the process, stays behind to let the Battalion escape. As Brenner takes cover in an abandoned city, an infuriated Greyfield orders the use of an experimental weapon that completely vaporizes the city, killing Brenner and the pursuing NRA troops.

Personality

Brenner was a charitable man with a sense of honour.

Relationships

Brenner's personality led to him getting on with Will and earning mutual respect from Forsythe. However, he didn't get on with Greyfield or Waylon, causing the Legion to enter a war with the New Rubinelle Army.
