Brade is loyal to Winzik to a fault, due to his oversight of her upbringing. He has brainwashed her into believing that he is a genius and cannot make mistakes, and that humans are vile and despicable creatures, and that he alone can save her from their savagery she would have fallen too had she stayed with her parents. Sometimes Winzik uses her to intimidate people{{book ref|sky2|11}} because she is a human being, and they collaborated to develop the cytonic coordinates planting weapon that was to be used on the delver.{{book ref|sky2|31}} Brade was also a conspirator in Winzik's planned coup, but believed that Winzik was getting rid of a valuable asset in Spensa by trying to have her killed.{{book ref|sky2|45}}
 
After Spensa and Brade duel around [[Eversong]], Winzik and his guards find them after the fight. Brade and Winzik argue, and Winzik confines her to quarters; she responds with some aggression, suggesting other tactical measures. After having her intelligence insulted, she eventually shoots a hole in Winzik's exosuit and watched him begin to suffocate. If Spensa had not killed him, she would have disguised herself as Spensa and done it herself.{{book ref|sky4|29}}

The pair find each other on opposite sides of the battlefield above Detritus, when Brade succeeds in summoning a delver.{{book ref|sky2|40}} They meet once again after Spensa moves the delver to [[Starsight (station)|Starsight]], and race each other to the delver's heart.{{book ref|sky2|43}}
 
Brade's final confrontation with Spensa at Starsight comes when she saves Spensa's life by shoots down a military plane targeting Spensa by firing a rocket launcher. Brade, seeing Spensa's value as a cytonic and fellow human, offers to deal with Winzik and allow Spensa to join them in their coup, and become a part of Winzik's defense force and rule the galaxy with him.{{book ref|sky2|45}}
