Brutus

Brutus is a male Wolf Keidran, he is a member of Clovis' Black Market Magic Guild and serves as Clovis' personal bodyguard. During the Wolves' attack on Edinmire while posing as Templars he was knocked out by Reni and taken prisoner by Trace's group. He is being kept in the dungeon underneath the Legacy Estate.

Appearance
Forest Wolf Keirdran have been shown to have usually have one of two different fur colours, either a shade of brown or a combination of black and white like Brutus has. Although Brutus does not have a confirmed hight, in the Side Sketches where he appears alongside Natani, the Forest Wolf with the tallest confirmed hight of 6'3", he is much taller which suggests he may be close to 7 feet tall. Besides being very tall for a Wolf he is also incredibly muscular and by effect presumably very strong, both traits which contribute to his role as Clovis' personal bodyguard.

Brutus appears to be very comfortable when "in the fur" (naked), like many other Wolf Keidran. Despite this he was originally seen he was disguised in a black Templar embroidered robe to trick the Tiger Keidran at Edinmire into believing the Humans had tried to trick them. After being captured and locked in the dungeon of the Legacy Estate he remained "in the fur", a detail that greatly embarrassed Madelyn due to her Basitin standards. After fetching him some clothes Brutus is seen again later in the dungeons, this time wearing a pair of black trousers.

History
At some point Brutus joined the Black Market Magic guild, eventually becoming the bodyguard of Clovis, the guild's leader.

Chapter 18
Brutus was part of the guild's attack on Edinmire, disguised as members of the Templar, during the tiger meetings there in an effort to escalate tensions between the humans and tigers. After realising Trace, the former Grand Templar, was present the guild decided to retreat knowing the extent of his power. Before the attack had been called off however, Reni attacked a few of the wolves standing atop one of Edinmire's walls, knocking one to the ground. That wolf just so happened to be Brutus, who was knocked unconscious by the fall. As the wolves retreated he was left behind by his fellow guild members so Trace's group took him prisoner to be questioned at the Legacy Estate.

Chapter 20
Brutus is seen again caged within the dungeon underneath the Legacy Estate along with a imprisoned Karen and Madelyn when Reni is searching for the two girls. After being set free Madelyn begins to question Brutus straight away on matters such as who he works for, he explains that he is Clovis' personal bodyguard and that Clovis had once told Brutus while he was drunk that he was the only wolf he didn't mind being around. He tells Madelyn Clovis told him not to tell anyone he said that, but upon realizing what he just did he cheerily remarks "Whoops" to himself, before Reni tells them they will come back later to conduct a proper interview. The three of them leave Brutus behind in his cage to attend a beach party with the others in the meantime.

Personality
Brutus is a big friendly giant of sorts, despite his large presence he acts unusually cheery when talking to Madelyn despite being caged up by her associates. Apparently he doesn't ask many questions and follows whatever orders he is given, however his carefree attitude can lead him to talk on a little more than he probably should. During his questioning by Madelyn he cooperates straight away despite having no real reason to do so, only after realising he has spilled many of his guild's secrets does he stop talking, but even then he casually shrugs it off as a silly mistake. He is described as big and dumb but vastly loyal to his boss. Despite not being very perceptive or intelligent he is happy with himself the way he is.

Magic
Brutus is a member of the Black Magic Mage Guild and can be assumed to be skilled in various forms of magic. One of the robed members of the guild can be traced to being Brutus during the attack on Edinmire, robed Brutus is part of a group of wolves that uses a fireball spell to burn the town and attack Trace.

Clovis
Out of all of his fellow guild members Clovis apparently likes Brutus the most because he doesn't ask questions, Brutus does say that Clovis only told him this while he was drunk though.

Roan
Brutus and Roan appear to have a slightly conflicting relationship, however Brutus doesn't seem to realise it. It is clear from their first interaction that Roan is not happy with Brutus beucase he was captured in Edinmire and the lengths Roan had to go to rescue him, including getting turned into a chicken by the magic barrier placed on the estate. Brutus was unaware this and attempted to eat him due to being hungry. After trying to eat Roan the spell wore off and he transformed back to normal, a feat that Brutus innocently questioned. From the conversation that followed it is clear that Roan sees Brutus as an idiot and treats him very poorly, yet s far as Brutus is concerned he appears to hold no negative options about Roan despite the way he is treated by him.

Trivia

 * Although the Side Sketches are not considered canon, a series of side comics were drawn depicting Brutus accidentally walking in on Clovis nude with his female body, only to assume he must be Clovis' sister by mistake. The validity of this side story is questionable, but if true Brutus is the only known member of the Black Market Mage Guild to know of Clovis' gender change, even if he doesn't actually realise "Clovis' sister" is really Clovis himself.
 * Tom confirmed that Brutus is simply not very bright in response to questions about whether he is just putting on a act. Brutus is one to rarely question things unless he is prompted to by someone else first, but he makes up for this by being incredibly loyal.
