Bronislav (or Bron) is a male war spirit.
Bron was originally bound to guard Goldwood Spires in the Feywild adjacent to Chicago. He was accidentally brought to Earth by Colby Diseth using a Helm of Liquid Imagination. In the process, Bron changed shape from a gryphon duke of Arborea to a futuristic, dual-rotor gunship called a Banshee (taken from the video game Starcraft, with embellishments by Colby's imagination).
Bron has advanced sensors and weapons, and a cloaking system. Bron's contract formally passed from Goldwood Spires to Raptor Blue, with some help from Brother Iron. Lyndi made Bron a full member of the team.
Bron later discovered that he could transform into a two-headed dragon and a humanoid robot.
During the explosion of a Chaos Orb, Bron absorbed a spelljammer helm and its powers (RB 2-14).
Bahamut gave Bron a dragon soul to incubate: Nakagro the Trampler. Nakagro is a heavy male copper dragon famous for using earth magic to increase his mass and crush things. Carrying Nakagro caused Bron to transform again, into a heavier gunship. After about a month with Bron, Nakagro returned to Mt. Celestia (RB 3-17).
Bron's cockpit now has four seats: pilot, co-pilot, gunner, and electronic warfare specialist.
Bron has a jumpcore from Dol'modeen.
Bron: I hail from the best of the Outer Planes, Arborea. I came to the Goldwood Spires by contract with the High Lord Librarian. I serve as a sentinel and trainer, in exchange for access to the materials on warfare.
Bron: By Haela Brightaxe's hand was I wrought, and by Bahamut's grace was I raised up, to inspire armies of the Light and to join my strength to their vanguard. May a wise and righteous general make shrewd use of me. May my jaws and claws stay sharp and strike true. May justice be served. May I bring honor and glory to the Wyrm Princes of the Celestial Circle.
Bron swivels his rotor nacelles forward and backward. "I HAVE EXERCISED MUCH PATIENCE, TABAXI. BECAUSE DRACO HAS TAUGHT ME THAT SOME WARS ARE BEST FOUGHT IN SHADOWS. MUCH PATIENCE, I SAY! BUT I AM A WAR SPIRIT, NOT SOME MERE DELTA AIRLINES BOEING 757 WHO LOVES TO FLY AND IT SHOWS. I WAS BORN TO TEST MY METTLE ON THE ANVIL OF COMBAT!" Sulkily: "I thought when I was brought here from Goldwood Spires I would finally get to do more than patrol. PATROLLING IS BORING, TABAXI!"
Bron: UH, I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT ECOSYSTEMS, or even HOW TO SPELL ecosystems. (inward) Oh, it looks like I do. I sometimes forget that I now have integrated holistic memory arrays with real-time meshing with my heuristic processors. They kinda ITCH sometimes and it's hard to SCRATCH without a rear leg…. but, anyways… um… (louder) There are planes where there are already lots of POWERFUL PREDATORS who hold their own. Like my home, ARBOREA. Everything there is BIG AND FIERCE AND LOUD AND HARD AND LOUD! LIKE ME!
