Brennus Ackerman (25th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon (12/25)) is an Ishgardian Hyur Midlander, raised in Coerthas by an elderly Duskwight Elezen who died when Brennus was ten. He lived a life free and unrestrained, secluded in the woods outside of Camp Dragonhead. Due to the dangers lurking between the trees, Brennus was trained in the art of Lancing. After the Elezen died, Brennus lived on his own in their little hut in the woods for months. He was eventually discovered by a Midlander Dragoon who offered to welcome Brennus into his family. Still young and naive, Brennus accepted the offer with no hesitation. He was taken to The First Dicastrial Observatorium of Aetherial and Astrological Phenomena to live with the Dragoon and, after it was discovered he could wield a lance, he began training as a Dragoon under his adoptive father and Ser Alberic Bale. What led him to leave Coerthas and explore Eorzea was when he met a Miqo'te adventurer who was passing through the area. Hence, at age 18, as a newly appointed Dragoon, Brennus left Coerthas, the only land he's ever known, to answer the call of adventure and glory.

Trivia
- ■ He can toss back handfuls of sour candy without flinching. "It's not that sour." (It is. It is definitely that sour.)
- ■ His dislike (see: phobia) towards women spawns from the fact that growing up, he didn't come in to contact with many of them, if any. All throughout the time before he was picked up by a Dragoon (character still in progress), Brennus had only ever known the Elezen who raised him. Even after joining the Dragoon in training, Brennus continued to lead a very secluded life, keeping contact with other people limited to the Dragoon and the friendly butler (if you could call him that) who kept care of the house.
- ■ Brennus is a total lightweight. (After his first experience with alcohol (see below), he swore off drinking for the rest of his life.)
- ■ His first "official" confrontation with more than one woman at a time (and when he wasn't hiding behind his adoptive father) was when he was 18. His fellow Dragoons took him to a pub to celebrate his promotion to Dragoon. He doesn't remember much of the encounter, but it seems some Courtesans had take a liking to him. In his effort to avoid them, he managed to knock over two tables, elbow one unfortunate Miqo'te in the nose, and trip over three chairs before landing face-first in a female Roegadyn's bosom. As the poor boy was terribly flustered and hopelessly drunk, she let him off easy with one black eye, a broken nose, and a horribly, horribly bruised ego. Brennus wouldn't talk to his comrades for days afterward.
- ■ His affinity for high places comes from when he was growing up in the woods. Due to the beastkin and scalekin roaming the ground, he would often be up in trees, jumping and climbing from perch to perch. (Think Assassin's Creed 3.)
- ■ Since the Calamity, one would not find many Miqo'te in Ishgard nor Coerthas due to the cold climate. As a result, Brennus had never encountered a Miqo'te before. When he was taken to The First Dicastrial Observatorium of Aetherial and Astrological Phenomena to meet Ser Alberic Bale to begin his training as a Dragoon, he met a Miqo'te adventurer there. The only odd thing he noted was the tail, as their ears were covered from the cold. When he asked them what the odd bumps in their hood were, they removed it to reveal their ears. Brennus has been intrigued by Miqo'te ever since. (Some of his comrades tease Brennus about having a full-blown Miqo'te fetish. He vehemently denies it.)
- ■ Brennus's last name is taken from Mikasa Ackerman, a character from the anime Shingeki no Kyojin (or Attack on Titan, if you'd prefer.) "...surname is derived from the German name "Ackermann" meaning "fieldman"."
- ■ The name Brennus is the Latinized form of a Celtic name (or title) that possibly meant either "king, prince" or "raven". [1]
