I'm so grateful for your loyalty, old friend.

Good, you're back. Let's get to work.
I told you he was here. Wait on my signal - we're getting him off this Island.
I'm really glad we reconnected. I've missed my friends.
Getting the gang back together's really lit my fuse.
I think the boss needs our help.
Alright. Let's call it water under the bridge.

Trivia[]
- In Fortnite: China, his "SHADOW" edit style lacks the skeletal detailing on his sleeves and he has the mask off, unlike Jules, who has the skull removed.
- Brutus was the first of the season's Bosses to pick a side between GHOST and SHADOW.
- When meeting Jules, she will call Brutus a traitor. She is referencing to Brutus resigning from SHADOW, the faction she belongs/belonged to. This could reference a scene from Julius Caesar, where Julius recognizes that Marcus Brutus had joined the conspiracy faction against him.
- This is supported by Brutus donning his GHOST uniform for the Chapter 2: Season 3 story trailer.
- The Security Guards in The Big Bang Live Event use a slightly modified NPC Outfit of Brutus. Featuring his Default head on his China SHADOW attire with SECURITY written on his back.
- Their Event ID is Character_HenchmanToughDark_Strong.
- In Chapter 5: Season 1, on a small island on the north eastern corner of the island Helios, there are many references to Chapter 2, with multiple of them being to the Agents of C2S2, including Brutus. Here you can find his GHOST uniform's helmet, partially buried in the sand.

Oh, that place is NOT safe.
If you're headed that way, I can provide backup and muscle.
For a price. Heh.
GHOST or SHADOW
Neither. My allegiance was always to the boss.
I go where he goes. I do what he needs done.
Midas has been good to me over the years. He'll have my loyalty for a lifetime.
Midas
Everyone thinks they've got the boss pinned down. Understood. Dead to rights.
They never do.
Midas is a complicated, *motivated* person.
But he's always been good to me. And in my mind, he's always been justified to do what he does.

| “ | Don't make him tell you twice.
Benevolent bruiser Brutus has taken the reins of Midas's crew after the boss's disappearance. Showing up on the Island after Marigold's call, he's wondering: is the old boss coming back? |

I heard you've been sniffing around...
Good! I'm glad the boss has another person watching his back.
Those bugs? Aw, those are Hope's, from when The Marigold was a Society boat. I'll get 'em back to her.
Honestly, I'm really looking forward to going back to being number 2.
I love this crew, but managing a bunch of big personalities is a lot of stress.
