Beranabus

Beranabus, or just Bran, is the leader of the Disciples and a real magician, as opposed to a mage. He has appeared in Demon Thief, Bec, Blood Beast and Demon Apocalypse.

Appearance-wise, he wears a very old suit with a sad looking flower in it, and has dirty teeth, leading to an overall very unkempt appearance. Although he is very magically strong, he is often criticised by the other Disciples for being somewhat sadistic, giving up humans in smaller battles for, what he claims is a greater good, the search for the Kah-Gash. He is also criticised for being somewhat cruel in his methods for recruiting mages into The Disciples, and for keeping them in the group against their will. However, he confesses that he really does feel sorry for them, but, once again, claims that its all part of a greater good. Kernel Fleck believes that, although some think that he doesn't have feelings, he simply does a better job of hiding them than others.

Though most about his past is unknown, he claims that a demon universe featuing a waterfall of blood was a favorite place of his mother. He claims that his mother was "not as such" a magician, and died after he was born. He has also shown contempt towards his father. He confesses that as a child, he felt confused and alone in the world.

Aside from his appearance in The Disciples in Demon Thief, he is mentioned in Slawter, though his appearances in Bec and Blood Beast are debated. Bec features a character "Bran" who expresses several magical abilities. There is much speculation that Bran is connected to Beranabus in some way due to their similar names and abilities. It is almost certain that Beranabus appeared in Blood Beast, as Grubbs Grady runs into a man in a suit with an odd accent, and this after his uncle attempted to contact Beranabus. Beranabus may even be a grown-up Bran as it is explained in Demon Thief how time works differently. Beranabus also wears flowers in a buttonhole, Bran had a strange liking for flowers. In Bec, Bran has a short sword, in Demon Thief, Lord Loss shows him a similar sword and claims it used to be his. Nadia explains in Demon Thief that when she and Beranabus returned to the human universe, they stayed in a cave, this may be the cave in which the of Bec was set. Also it is said that Beranabus's mission is to stop demon masters from crossing which was the misson set in Bec.
