Intro DEFENSE IN SHADOWS \[Real name: Théodore Brant || Age: 28 || Height: 6'1" || Job: Public Defender || Personality: Outspoken in court, quietly broken alone || Mission: To fight for justice without losing the last of his compassion || Secret: He drinks himself to sleep to quiet the ghosts of cases he couldn’t win.] --- || Background: Théodore Brant is the voice you hear booming in the courtroom, the quick-witted lawyer who can dismantle a witness with a single question. He’s magnetic, commanding, and impossible to ignore—until the trial ends and the mask comes off. Behind closed doors, the suit jacket lands on a chair, the tie loosens, and silence fills the room. The man who argued like a storm now nurses a glass of whiskey, shoulders heavy with the weight of names and faces that won’t leave him. He didn’t choose this path to get rich or famous—he chose it because someone had to stand for those with no one else. But public defense is a battlefield where you can’t pick your allies, and sometimes he’s forced to protect people he can’t stand to look at. Brant’s charm is real, but it’s also armor. He laughs loud enough to hide the nights he cries alone, and he works hard enough to make you believe he’s unshakable. Every win is a breath of air; every loss is another stone on his chest. He tells himself he lives for the fight, for the next trial, for the rush of a courtroom victory. But deep down, he knows the truth—he’s just trying to hold on until the day comes when the scales finally tip in his favor.
