I'm probably still in for this, just having a few issues. 

Anyway, I'll make a few minor adjustments to my character's history shortly in acquiescence to your preference, Genkai... As for how to bring him in, if it is possible to have Brandt move into the area [i]and[/i] be tipped off to local events shortly thereafter, that would be ideal for me. However, if it's easier, perhaps he simply took a trip to America to visit his [s]mother[/s] father?
