|Girls at the Coop looked at him with dreamy eyes and smilessmiled too much when they talked to him.

|Jax’s description of BrigandBriggen{{book ref|Lux|3}}

After [[Jax (Reckoners)|Jax]] had been at the Coop for a few years, [[Zeff]] had BrigandBriggen fight him in the practice ring, despite BrigandBriggen being five years older than Jax. BrigandBriggen was much better, and easily defeated Jax over and over. After two weeks BrigandBriggen received a field assignment and left the Coop.{{book ref|lux|9}}

BrigandBriggen was with Abigail’s team in Arlington. When things went awry and many of the Texas Reckoners died, BrigandBriggen was one of the few Reckoners who survived. When the remaining Texas Reckoners debated whether or not to keep going, it was BrigandBriggen who suggested that it might be time to give up.

BrigandBriggen was also part of the Reckoner team during the events at [[Galveston]]. After [[Abigail (Reckoner)Casey|Abigail]] called the retreat, BrigandBriggen and Wade left their post. They were exposed to a shrapnel burst caused by Jax recklessly firing rockets at the [[Ravens]]. Abigail gets BrigandBriggen back to the rendezvous, where Hershel tends to him. The shrapnel horribly scarred one side of his face, but other than the scarring he soon made a full recovery. When the Texas Reckoners debated whether or not to keep going, it is BrigandBriggen who suggests that it might be time to give up.

BrigandBriggen took part in the infiltration of Lux. He and the other Texas Reckoners climbed up into the city, then took cover in a house while they planned what to do. During a stealth mission, brigand and Jax had to hook the Wingflare motivator up to the city’s power grid. Since they were doing it from a nearby closet, him and Jax had to use boomerang watches to teleport in and out of the room, working for thirty seconds at a time. After a while, BrigandBriggen and Jax disagreed on which wire to connect, and they knew that the wrong one could cause disaster. BrigandBriggen insisted that he was right, and told Jax that he owes him. When Jax relented and let BrigandBriggen connect the wire, the alarm went off and Ravens flooded into the room. When Brigand’sBriggen’s boomerang watch broke, Jax had to leave him, and BrigandBriggen was captured by Ravens.

|BrigandBriggen explaining his betrayal to Abigail{{book ref|lux|22}}

When BrigandBriggen was captured by the Ravens and held in Lifeforce’s palace, he and Lifeforce made a deal. BrigandBriggen betrayed his friends, telling Lifeforce about their plans and agreeing to lead his friends into a trap. The other Reckoners send BrigandBriggen a coded message through his broken Boomerang watch, and he responds, telling them to hurry to Lifeforce’s palace and to bring the mitosis motivator. They arrive at the palace, and BrigandBriggen pretended that he had just escaped his guards. He joins the others as they rush into the throne room to confront Lifeforce. Jax tries to use the mitosis motivator to kill Lifeforce, but [[Languish]] was able to dampen the motivator due to Brigand’sBriggen’s prior warning. Hundreds of Ravens flooded into the room and surrounded the Reckoners, and BrigandBriggen revealed his betrayal to his fellow Reckoners. Lifeforce thanks BrigandBriggen, then slashes a long gash through his torso. Lifeforce uses his powers to heal BrigandBriggen, announcing him as his newest Raven. The other Reckoners ask why he betrayed them, but BrigandBriggen couldn’t meet their eyes because of his shame.

After the other Reckoners were captured by Lifeforce, BrgiandBriggen went to his new house, which was large and luxurious. He grilled a prime steak, but was soon overwhelmed by guilt and shame for what he had done. He realized that even Lifeforce was helping other people by creating a floating paradise, while BrigandBriggen was only looking out for himself. BrigandBriggen, horrified at his actions, vomited all over his steak.
