Story

The 35

2017

Brontes is first seen walking into Moondrop, where he orders a black coffee and a Boss muffin from Metis, who gives it to him on the house due to it being her regular order. Brontes then sits next to Virgil, Creusa, and Lavinia, three government agents from Maradyn. The four of them discuss bringing a mayor to Shadow City, and Brontes nominates his boss, Hank Reynell, for the job.

2019

After hearing that Pheme was elected, Brontes visits Moondrop to celebrate, noticing a bullet hole on his way in. As Metis finds the bullet in the wall, Pheme tells Brontes to lock up the shop and run upstairs with them. Discovering her vault, Brontes is shocked, and Pheme explains that she would likely be assassinated.

2022

During his tenure in the government, Brontes waits with Pheme and Metis for confirmation that Shadow City would be officially renamed to Rust City. When they get the email, Metis and Brontes plan to officially get married in Rust City, but as they raise glasses to toast the new name, Brontes is assassinated by a Shadowdweller.
