Name: Brian Stewart.
Age: 39.
Appearance: Brown hair, blue eyes. 6'4", no lie. Apparently Númenórean descent can be reincarnated, too. Considering that he keeps in shape he can seem a little imposing at times but there's a gentilesse you can sense about him.
Family: Derrick (father), Fiona (mother; deceased), Francis Frank (brother).
Brian is the eldest of two sons, born in his mother's native Ireland but raised in London. Despite coming from a wealthy family, he and his brother were well provided for but never spoiled. His father was a stern man who couldn't stand spoilt behaviour and his mother was loving but had a no-nonsense approach, especially with the rowdier Brian. Reward systems for school work were set-up at an early age which only enabled an already competitive nature.
When he was seven-years-old, his father was made the acting director of White City Enterprises. The owner of the company and his wife, who were friends of the family, died in a car crash. It was their wish that Derrick would step-in to take care of the company and act as guardian to their son. Brian and Frank quickly took on the newly orphaned Adam as a new brother.
Two years later his mother died of cancer before he barely reached double-digits and it shook their small family to the core. His father was never the same, becoming more stern and silent, and Adam was whisked off by other guardians with no protest that they knew of from their father.
The only thing left was to keep on at life and that's exactly what they did. Brian did well in class and better in sports whereas his brother was the opposite. After graduating from University College London with degrees in Law and Economics, he took an active role in White City Enterprises. With no contact from Adam in years, it's likely he will be made acting director in the event of his father's death.
He remains unmarried, with a string of girlfriends over the years (long and short term) that have never been able to stay second-fiddle to his work.

Brian also happens to be the re-incarnation of Boromir, son of Denethor, of Fellowship of the Ring fame and all the pleasantness that brings. Yes.

Personality: Brian shares a lot of the same characteristics as Boromir. He's brave but not stupidly so although he's willing to take his fair share of risks (especially for anyone he loves). He is very used to being The Big Brother and anyone he takes a liking to gets taken under his wing. You would think this would undermine him in the cut-throat world of big business but it's earned him a lot of friends and so people have a tendency not to double cross him aside from the fact that he does not look like the kind of guy you'd want to piss off.
Despite coming from a wealthy family, he is fairly down to earth. His father believed in hard work and it was drilled into Brian from a young age not to rest on the family's laurels and to go out and make a name for himself. It probably has something to do with why he's such a workaholic.
Brian's one big fault would probably be his unending pride in things he cares for and if it is ever criticised, well then woe betide you. His fearless nature can also come off as a tiny bit ruthless when pushed. He always feels more guilty than he should afterwards.
Interests: Working out -Captain of the University fencing team in his undergraduate years and has something of an interest in Western European Martial Arts. These days he keeps it to squash and the gym.
Music -Plays the trumpet infrequently. Fancy that. Tastes sway more to soul and old style rhythm & blues.
Cars -Okay, he's a rich businessman, what do you expect? It's probably the one luxury he allows himself.
Reading -Although he's not an intellectual, he is well educated and well read. He prefers history over fiction. Yeats is his favourite poet not just because of convenient icons.
