I actually thought this would be an unpredicted guess, but you people must know me too well.

I'm surprised I got through two writeups and an honorable mention without stating this fact but...

Brennus is gay.

He also crushes very easily. He (was) a closested, repressed 18 year old gay guy. It didn't take much to impress him. He might be a bit more refined now (emphasis on a bit) but early in the campaign when the group went to El Paso, our car broke down and we ended up stopping at a mechanic to get it fixed. While there, we learned this mechanics son, Jaime, was a coyote who could help get people across the border into Mexico. Being the good samaritans we are (and because we needed to get into Mexico) we decided we should try to find Jaime. We were directed to how to find one of his friends, Paco, who could help us find Jaime. We also met someone named Chris Smith there, who also needed to find Jaime.

When we found Paco, Chris Smith beat us there and was holding Paco against the wall, pointing a gun at him. Paco was scared, obviously and the party convinced Chris to let us try to get the information out of him. Brennus started thinking Paco was cute and crushing on him, but Paco proved resistant. He didn't know who we were, Chris was threatening him, why should he tell us where Jaime was? He was freaking out and not listening to us.

And how does our heroic group calm him down convince him to tell us this information? Saoirse flashes him. His jaw drops and he tells us everything we want to know. It's also around this time that we realize that when Chris had the gun pointed at him, he peed himself. Brennus has never lost a crush as fast as he did in this instance.

But after that? Paco became a friend, of shorts. Eventually (perhaps more details on this later...), El Paso fell and our group led the survivors south though Mexico and South America on a Convoy to get them to Z'onn Z'orr. Paco continued to be scared, cried a lot, and peed himself in fear a lot, but Chris Smith saw a strength in Paco. Due to Paco's time playing video games, he had reflexes necessary to operate a turret on one of the buses (the Owlbus) that the Convoy had. Paco was reluctant and Chris had to threaten Paco to get him to help (which made him cry and pee) but nevertheless, Paco prevailed and used the turret to help keep the Convoy safe on more than one occasion.

Paco even got kidnapped at one point during the Convoy! Paco asked Brennus to walk off the path with him a bit so he could pee since he didn't want to be alone. The two were talking, with Brennus not watching, when Paco stopped responding... because he was taken by a gang called the CdA. They wanted us to pay them for the privledge of moving our Convoy through their territory. Rosetta and Brennus worked together to bluff them that by harassing them they were angering the ancient spirit of La Llarona which got them to back off temporarily. At least, long enough to rescue Paco and get the Convoy away from them.

Also, Paco spent a lot of time making repairs on the Owlbus. Here's another spell Brennus learned:

When Paco was making repairs, Brennus would always clasp him on the shoulder to tell him what a great job he is doing and cast the spell without Paco realizing. Paco got really good and really fast at the repairs. Brennus figured he deserved some credit to keep Chris off of his back.

Brennus also recently heard that Paco has been looking for him in Z'onn Z'orr. What does Paco want with Brennus and will it lead to him going higher up the rankings? Only time* will tell.

(*Time being when I have enough free time to roleplay)

Hint for #49: This character tried to kiss Brennus.
