Biography[]
Brian is the father of Norval Greenwood. Back when Norval was just 5, Brian left him and his wife behind and fled to Bangkok, where he joined a gang of three other men; Jethro, Dandy, and Gordon. At some point, the four had kidnapped the daughter of the richest man in Thailand and successfully held her for a large ransom, but Brian fled the group with their shares of the money and had been on the run from them for 30 years, using the money to fund Norval and his mother's expensive way of life.
The three criminals managed to catch up to Brian and had him locked up under their beach house, where they tortured him as payback. Unbeknownst to them, however, Brian managed to sent a letter and a map to his son, who, upon receiving it, followed the map to the house. Upon getting there, he encounters Gordon at the front door, but he at first mistakes him for his dad, until Gordon's tendencies grow violent over the following few days, culminating in Gordon dying from a sudden heart attack whilst trying to kill Norval. Eventually, Norval finds out the truth about Gordon not being his dad, and finds his real dad chained up in the hidden bunker beneath the house, whom is relieved to see his son again. After explaining his backstory, Norval is reluctantly forced to dislocate Brian's fingers so that he can escape his bindings before Jethro's gang returns.
Norval is then able to kill Dandy after having an encounter with him in the house, but as Norval helps Brian leave the house, Jethro returns armed with a crossbow (having discovered Norval hiding from him earlier). Norval realizes that he left a luggage tag inside with his home address on it, and Jethro finds it, promising to travel to the address and kill whomever he finds there (in this case, Norval's mother). Brian advises Norval to hide in Jethro's trunk and kill him when he least expects it; Norval obliges, riding along to a motel where Jethro has arranged a meeting with a sex worker named Precious. There, after slashing out Jethro's tyres, he witnesses Jethro crash his car into a burger joint sign as he drives off, which slices off part of his head, before Norval finishes him off by stabbing his exposed brain.
Norval, wounded but alive, walks on foot back to the house where he left his father and lies down next to him on the lakeside. Norval apologizes to his father for never letting his mother get over him, and the two weakly hold hands together.
