Strange Brigade Characters
Other Strange Brigade Guides:
Nalangu Rushida
As a Maasai Spirit-Warrior it is Nalangu’s destiny to protect her people against supernatural threats. Having joined the Strange Brigade after an encounter with Lady Imelda Webster it is now Nalangu’s task to not just protect her tribe, but the entire human race from evil entities!
Trivia: Had to undergo ritual trials in order to become a full Maasai Spirit-Warrior.
Her special undead thwarting perks include:
- A 6th sense that allows the player to acknowledge enemies that are outside of her normal line of sight. This ability can be useful particularly when surrounded by hordes of enemies, allowing for attack planning.
- Faster movement than her teammates which appeals to players who appreciate snappier movement and require a speedier exit from incoming undead foes.
Gracie Braithwaite
Gracie was born into the tough mentality of those born in the north of England. Her hardy exterior and no-nonsense attitude brought her to the attention of the Strange Brigade, particularly after an incident where she burnt down a demon-run textile factory that was making human skin suits as disguises!
Trivia: Born in Rochdale where her physical and mental toughness was honed.
Her special perks when dealing out undead slayings include:
- An ability that allows for a quicker respawn of her explosives. As you will soon find out throughout the campaign, at times you will be overwhelmed by enemy forces, so in order to clear an escape path you will need to use explosives to destroy large numbers of undead at once. These explosives can also be useful when dealing with more powerful enemies with significant armour buffs.
- Possesses a haymaker ability which is an essential aid when low on ammunition. She can deal a devastating strike to an enemy that pushes them back allowing for time to collect more munitions or discover an escape route.
Professor Archimedes De Quincey
The professors’ greatest asset to the team is his passion for uncovering secrets of the past. In the past however this has led to tragedy as on an expedition to find the Crown of Dagan his team were kill by the evil forces associated with the artefact. His mission is to keep horrors like this from repeating the past!

Frank Fairburne
Frank’s surname may be familiar to some. The skills which he brings to the team are reminiscent of what that name means to many foes across the globe. His military background and the assassination of a powerful cult leader are what brought him to the attention of the Strange Brigade.
Trivia: Once described by his commanding officers as ‘the man with the coldest eyes in the Empire’!
His special perks for reversing undeath include:
- The tough hide ability, making him more durable in combat. His survivability when being attacked is therefore an improvement on other members of The Brigade.

Winston Bey
At first Winston was reluctant to join tthe Brigade but curiosity got the better of him so he signed up ‘as an amusing diversion’. His time as an explorer, spy, prospector and journalist brought him to the attention of Lady Webster who unbeknownst to Winston, wanted him as her successor!
