Prodigy
Bryan respected power, not people. Towards the more powerful he directed a 'soldier ask not' mentality and took orders well. Unpredictable, aggressive, he took orders well, without any guarantee he'd follow them. Bryan was opportunistic. Sly and adaptable – rarely caught off guard. Brutal, a true sociopath.
In the Abbey War Games Bryan practiced "total warfare:" tackling enemy lines in a wide-spread wave, pillaging, burning, shooting and maiming everything. He won battles easily, half of his army getting killed in the process. He didn't care – he just liked to win.
As a commanding general, Tala rarely lost time or lives – efficient, stalwart, inspired… too graceful for Bryan. Ian hardly fought – assassinating certain offending parties and overthrowing entire nations in a night's span… too indirect for Bryan. Spencer was well-rounded, impassive, never making a false move… too lack-luster for Bryan.
As a commanding general, Boris Balcov was mean, rough, and tightly-wound. He gave orders well, made decisions instantly, and had no patience for mistakes or humanity. He loved to win. He was brutal, a true sociopath.
Boris Balcov sent Tala, Ian, and Spencer to the "field" to try their managerial hands – he kept Bryan by his side, teaching him everything he knew.
