Story
Dead Rising 2
Before the outbreak, he was going to go on a first date with Louise Jameson, a fellow mascot performer. However, Louise was killed by zombies during the initial outbreak. As a result, Brent now stalks Fortune City to find the alleged perpetrator of the attack, Chuck Greene. After he is defeated, he crawls to Louise's body, cuddles up to her and appears to die, only to sit up a few seconds later and shout, "Don't worry, kids! Slappy will live forever!" before finally dying.
Trivia
- Brent makes a cameo on the home page for the Dead Rising 2 website, located between Stacey and Chuck.
- Brent bears some similarities with Paul Carson from Dead Rising, both being socially awkward teenagers that attempt to take disproportionate revenge for any perceived slight against them. Both of them also wield fire-based weapons. He also shares similarities with Adam MacIntyre, both being children's entertainers in outlandish costumes who use fire attacks. They also both carry two weapons; while Adam carries two melee weapons, Brent is also the only psychopath to carry two ranged weapons. His death scene is similar to Steven Chapman's, as both seem dead but pop back up to give one last statement.
- At just 18 years old, Brent is the youngest psychopath in the Dead Rising series.
- Brent shares the name with an employee of Blue Castle Games, the company who is making Dead Rising 2.
- Brent seemingly pulls his flamethrowers out of nowhere, adding to the humor of the Dead Rising series.
