...In No Stone Unturned

Buster Brakes

Buster Brakes is a character in No Stone Unturned. He is known primarily for his melee combat skills. His main quest is to find his son, who had been kidnapped by his former boss.

Backstory

Buster was born in Salt Lake City, Deseret. His family mainly worked in the factories. Shortly after turning 18, Buster left the City of Gloom to find a chance to make something of himself. While traveling, Buster meets his wife. Buster and his wife have Franklin in 1928, shortly after moving to New Orleans. It is in New Orleans where he meets Rex House and Max Bender. The three of them did contract work for various mobs. During this time period, Buster got nails implanted into his knuckles to make his punches do more damage. In 1930, Buster's wife discovers he is working for the mob and leaves him, citing the stress of being a mother is too much for her, not telling him that she knows about his mob work. She becomes a nun, divorcing Buster and leaving him to raise Franklin on his own. Shortly before the events of No Stone Unturned, Buster begins to make moves to quit his mob work for Franklin's safety, resulting in Franklin's kidnapping.

Personality & Appearance

Personality

Buster is a reserved and quiet individual. While his first go-to is not violence, he does tend to finish fights very quickly. He cares deeply for his son Franklin. He occasionally makes dad jokes.

Appearance

Buster is tall with short-cropped hair, usually hidden by his hat. He has an imposing muscular frame. He is also frequently covered in bruises and scars, enough so that Wanted posters of him tend to be wildly inaccurate, the bruises often being mistaken for facial hair and obscuring other details of his face. He has nails implanted into his knucles, which hinders some of his hand dexterity. He has cauliflower ear.
