Brendan (T:NB)

"For some people, the apocalypse, it lets-- it lets people start over, you know? If the apocalypse never happened... I didn't know what the hell I was gonna do with my life after high school. I liked writing, I think I was okay at it, but I knew writing books that'd sell would take a while, so there would've had to been something in-between. In some ways, I got to start over. My mom's dead, but at least I don't have to worry about what kind of shit she'd do to screw things up for me or my dad like she always did. Before, I was just... some guy. Some guy that sat alone at lunch and never talked much. And now... I'm the opposite of those things. I'm one of the leaders of a safe place in a world overrun by the undead."

- Brendan to Savannah about who he was, and who he became

Brendan, sometimes referred to as B, is the protagonist, a main character, and a survivor of the outbreak in TacoLovesZombies' Transmutation: New Blood.

Pre-Apocalypse
Brendan had a mother who would steal valuables such as money and a laptop from him in order to purchase drugs; which has caused Brendan to grow resentful of her. He was close with his father, as well as his father's side of the family. A mother-son bond slowly grew with his aunt Harriet Drost, and he saw her as as a mother-like figure over his actual mother.

In eighth grade, Brendan met his friends Haylee & Aliyah, as well as their bullies Damion & Damon, whom would endlessly torture the three of them. Brendan was forced to watch his friends be victimized by the two, and grew an undying hatred for them, especially after Damion made a "kill list" with their names on it. During this time, Brendan also had long hair, which made him even more of a target by his bullies.
