Personality & Traits
| General Overview | A caring and gentle man. A highly educated and experienced Psychiatrist, Brady specialized in PTSD evaluations and treatments, rarely on any one assignment for very long, transferring from one place to another, counseling those traumatized by their experiences, and working with those Starfleet officers that Starfleet didn't want to let go, to give up on. Feeling the need for a change, at a crossroad, Brady was promoted to Captain and assigned the USS Solace near late 2388. |

When Brady was 16, he and his mom were in a hovercar accident. Brady was the one driving, but the accident was not his fault. His mother died at the scene, and he was seriously injured. He ended up with survivor's guilt PTSD. Their father had a hard time handling the boys, especially Brady. He had always been the type of man with a tight rein on his emotions. He didn't know how to deal with a teen going through what Brady was going through, as well as seven-year-old Cole, who was confused over the loss of his mother. Brady turned to alcohol, putting the family through even more hell. Eventually, they got through it all, yet not without scars.
