Brandon Yorkes

Brandon Yorkes is a major character in season one of Superhuman.

Personality
Brandon is brave, caring and compassionate. He is blunt and straightforward as he never grew accustomed to pretenses. He was initially uncomfortable, self-conscious, and serious in most situations; in this sense, he was very much the opposite of his sister.

Brandon is initially scared to admit, even to himself, his own sexuality and feelings, even more so because he was concerned about other people’s opinions. He is judgmental, arrogant and condescending at times, and initially held prejudice towards other superhumans, though this eventually changes when his life becomes intertwined with many of them. He is also initially unwelcoming of strangers and people he deems a threat to his family. Brandon is sarcastic, with a dry, biting sense of humor, particularly in remarks directed at people he doesn’t feel particularly keen of. He makes no effort to hide his ill feelings toward them, showing it in small subtle ways like openly ignoring them or not heeding their opinions. He can also be quite insecure and jealous, when it comes to his own achievements as well as Sam’s romantic history. His insecurity along with the pressure he’d placed on himself made him somewhat guarded, though eventually, overcomes his own insecurities and becomes more confident in himself, with the help and assurance of those around him over the course of their adventures.

Brandon leans toward more cautious and practical decisions, except perhaps when it comes to the well-being of those he loves. He is very protective of his family and tends to assume the most responsibility as the oldest of the group. He will do anything, even deft authority, if it would help his friends. He also dislikes seeing his loved ones in pain and is just as hurt when he cannot do anything to ease their sorrow; he would even choose to suffer with them instead of even considering leaving them behind.
