Personal History(what affects them):

As a colonist on Elysium, the Reaper War struck when Brandon was about 14 years old.  When the Reapers arrived on Elysium, his father, a scientist, arranged for his family to be evacuated, but was separated from them as the planet fell under attack.  With little protection outside of the planetary defenses, the Reapers positioned themselves near the Mass Relay, assaulting the ships that fell outside of the defense platforms' protection.  His father was on one of the many ships that were destroyed when leaving the system.  When the Reapers were destroyed not a month later, he was elated but filled with regret, lamenting that his family would still be together if they had just lasted a few weeks more.

With his mother's blessing, he followed in his father's footsteps, learning the ways of chemistry and assisting in the Citadel's Huerta Memorial to further his education upon graduation.  He quickly learned what medicines were needed for a variety of species' ailments, and observed and explored a variety of the organic compounds in the labs.  On one such occasion in the university's lab analyzing a sample, Brandon accidentally discovered a faster way to form a nitrite-explosive, rather his goal of a more effective anesthetic for hanar.  After having to pay roughly 5,000 credits in damages and formally leave the university department, Brandon is now in search of new prospects, intent in putting his knowledge to use.
