Kenneth Brackhaven
Kenneth Brackhaven is a national figure and Corporate Raider known for publicly representing traditional values. He has also been repeatedly found to have ties to the Humanis Policlub, although he insists that these ties have only ever been circumstantial.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Brackhaven is a middle-aged man with stern features that dresses in a fasion more reminiscient of old-world politicians that of modern age tech-laden politicians. He also very emphatically does not have cyberware, preferring to use old-world paper were possible rather than modern solutions like datajacks and internal storage.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The son of an upper class family, Kenneth Brackhaven was born into money in 2011, amidst the chaos of the Awakening. While Brackhaven himself was born healthy, his mother died in childbirth, a tragedy that Brackhaven himself insists was caused by a lack of resources thanks to ungoing Goblinization. Kenneth's father, a financier and investor by trade, raised Kenneth to believe that metahumans are a burden to the rest of humanity, the price for which people like his mother had to pay for.
Records indicate that Brackhaven's academic career was mediocre, with passing grades at best. Despite this, Brackhaven managed to attend Pacific State University, likely under the influence of his father's money, and graduated with a degree in marketing before enrolling in Harvard's Business School. Here Brackhaven seems to have finally applied himself, as he earned much more appealing grades and graduated with an MBA in business. After graduating, he went to work with the family investment agency, which he would eventually run after the death of his father in 2044.
Although Brackhaven has become associated with the occasional corporate venture, his main focus has been on the political scene, especially since the death of his father. Most of his investments have been to political activist groups, allowing him to quickly become a central voice in the Seattle political sphere. Although the groups he finances tend towards generalized positive messaging (better education, lower taxes, better infrastructure) they also tend to steer away from any sort of activism that would benefit metahumans. Brackhaven himself rarely speaks about his deeper political stances, but the fact that his money tends to trickle into the pockets of deeply anti-metahuman groups doesn't go unnoticed.
Morality & Philosophy
Brackhaven tends to be tight-lipped about his actual beliefs beyond a traditionalist mindset. He's spoken glowingly about the "good old days of the U.S." but when pressed about his opinions about specific issues he tends towards vague statements over specific ideology. This has allowed him to remain a major voice in the political sphere for years. When cross-references with the groups he finances, however, a better picture of his philosphy emerges. The groups he backs tend to be focused on distancing humanity from metahumans and restoring the powers that the United States once had over North America. Rather than directly taking action against metahumanity, however, they tend to support policy that indirectly impacts metahuman communities; better education, infrastructure and investment into communities that happen to have low metahuman populations.
