Michael Brat loves to play with computers and enjoys interacting with them more than he does with people. Some may call him antisocial - and they'd be right.

Michael Brat was sold into slavery as a young child, but was saved and then set free by Varryn Antillus, leader of Capital Enterprises. Michael begged Varryn to take him with him, and was allowed to join Capital Enterprises despite his young age. He remains fiercely loyal to Antillus and Antillus alone.

Even at his young age, many consider Michael Brat a prodigy when it comes to all kinds of computer systems. But his intellect stretches far beyond that. He has a true knack for hunting down subjects by tracing financial data and other kinds of transaction history.

While Michael Brat avoids combat whenever possible, he has no qualms working with technology under the stress and pressure of combat. Michael Brat has trained himself to keep calm and focus intently on Slicing even while taking blaster fire from cover or when placed under time constraints. In truth, Michael Brat almost works better when under duress, and actually needs motivation, typically, when Slicing.

Michael Brat's passion for technology extends beyond his talent with Slicing. He truly believes that wars can be won with technology, not soldiers, and will always try to avoid direct combat if he can afford it. Instead, he prefers to deploy clever traps with Explosives, or turn technology against others as a weapon. Michael Brat would rather overload a circuit breaker to shock a guard into submission than to test his luck with his hands or a blaster. If removed from technology or his gadgets, however, Michael Brat can easily be overwhelmed. Fortunately, he has no qualms with throwing a smoke grenade down and running for dear life.
