Wild Arms 2
Edit
Brad Evans is probably the most complex character in the Wild Arms 2 game. Before the events of the game, he was a soldier serving the Slayheim Liberation Army and was involved in the legendary firefight at the end of that war. His success, however, placed in him jeopardy as Slayheim's new government had little use for the warriors that had given them their freedom. Brad Evans was persecuted as a war criminal, and, at the beginning of the game's story, is being chased through the Green Hell forest.
Brad is eventually arrested and taken to Illsveil Prison to live out the rest of his days. Fortunately for him, Ashley Winchester and Lilka Eleniak sneak into prison in order to recruit him to join ARMs. Brad spends most of the early part of the game as a reluctant and untrusted member of the group, but comes to appreciate the camaraderie and friendship of the other ARMs members.
It's heavily hinted that Brad's name is an assumed one, with the purpose of perpetuating a 'hero myth' for people to believe in. Unfortunately, the game's bad translation at many points (particularly when it comes to Brad's backstory) make this somewhat unclear. No other name is given for Brad, however.
Wild Arms 2 BiographyEdit

Certain circumstances drove him out of the army until he was arrested and locked up in a high-security prison filled with the hardest of criminals.

ControversyEdit
Brad Evans has developed a reputation within some fan circles as being a gay character icon, based largely on a misreading of the poorly-translated dialog between him and his brother in arms, Billy Pilder. Billy and Brad developed a deep friendship as brothers-in-arms during their time in the Slayheim Liberation Army, and there is no question that their relation ship is close. However, this is simply keeping with the fraternal closeness commonly found between fellow soldiers in wartime and was not meant to imply a romantic relationship.
