Biography
Brendan was found by Patrick abandoned as a baby in a basket in the middle of the road, and took him to his home. While the police looked for his biological parents, Patrick and Meg looked after him, even celebrating a birthday. After being unable to find his parents, Patrick and Meg adopted the boy, naming him Brendan. Over Brendan's childhood, Meg and Patrick raised him. Brendan attended school, helped his father rake leaves in the garden, and was looked after when he got sick.

As a young adult, he joined the Garda to "make a difference", and was mentored by the Sergeant. At one point in his service, he chased Michael, a thief, to the cliffs, where Michael pulled a gun on him. Despite trying to reason with him, Brendan was shot, and fell off the cliff, landing on the beach. Despite the seemingly fatal fall, Brendan revived when the Sergeant found his body and continued as if nothing happened. Brendan, assuming his survival was a miracle, received a commendation.

As an old man, Brendan retired from the Garda, and at his leaving party, was given a clock as a memento. Outside, he met his father and the Sergeant, neither of who had aged, and was led into the back office. There, a device was attached to his head, and both Patrick and the Sergeant apologetically told him they would have to wipe his memory, the latter thanking Brendan for his service, before Brendan was tortuously wiped of his memory.
