Brennan is the captain of the ship that brings Cyrus from Wayrest to Stros M'Kai. A merchant by trade, he is a sympathizer of the Empire, enjoying the peace and order that the recent conquests of Tiber Septim had procured. His only crew member is a young helmsman named Eli, who is never seen.
He is both cowardly and duplicitous. The former is seen when his ship is attacked by The Restless League, while the latter is seen when he helps the Imperials ambush Cyrus, who had saved him during the Restless League's attack.
Notes
- Brennan also makes an appearance in the prequel book to Redguard, TESA: Redguard: The Origin of Cyrus!.
Dialogue
Idle
(If weapon drawn)
- "Don't wave that blade around here, lad. It bothers the civilians."
- "Ah, Cyrus. And how do you do?"
- "Your health, lad."
Greeting
Cyrus: "Brennan, can I have a minute?"
- "Anything for your like, Cyrus."
Goodbye
Cyrus: "Thanks. We'll talk later."
Iszara
Cyrus: "I am looking for my sister, Iszara. Perhaps you have heard of her?"
- "I'm afraid not. Before the Empire cleaned things up, Stros M'Kai was a pirate haven, avoided by honest merchants like myself."
League
Cyrus: "The pirates who attacked us spoke of a 'Restless League'. Have you heard of them?"
- "Other captains tell me that the remaining banditti have organized themselves against the Empire's crackdown on smuggling and piracy."
Stros M'Kai
Cyrus: "How has Stros M'Kai fared under its new Imperial masters?"
- "The locals are still chafing at the bit, but in time, they will come to appreciate the benefits of membership in the Empire."
Cyrus: "That so, hm?
Draggin Tale
Cyrus: "I am meeting a friend at the Draggin Tale. Can you direct me?"
- "I can't recommend it, but it's the only drink-hole in the godsforsaken town. Up the bridge you see to the right, through the gate to the town square. You'll see the sign."
Pirate haven
- (Unlocked by "Iszara")
Cyrus: "It seems the Empire has not eliminated all the pirates from Stros M'Kai"
- "Apparently so. They've become bold, attacking a ship so far into Hunding Bay. But give it time, the Empire has only been here a few months."
Empire
- (Unlocked by "Iszara")
Cyrus: "The Empire has done well in its conquest of Hammerfell, you think?"
- "Absolutely. No offense, but Hammerfell is in need of some law and order."
