Since he was a colt, Brougham was always a very protective pony, particularly of his family and friends. During a certain field trip to a mining Facility in Trottingham His resolve was truly put to the test.

During the trip Brougham and a certain friend of his had gotten into an argument prior and in fit of recklessness his friend had galloped deeper into the caves. After going off on his own to try and reconcile and fix what he viewed as his fault he eventually manged to find him. The colt in question had apparently decided to try and 'experiment' with the mining Equipment and the result of his tinkering had caused a small rockslide that was coming right towards the oblivious pony due to some earmuffs supplied by the trip.

While the slide wouldn't have caused his friend to be heavily injured.

Acting quickly, Brougham pushed a large minecart in the way of the rockslides path and used all his strength to hold back to growing slide. Through a combination of resolve and natural athleticism he was able to hold the slide back for about three minutes before a worker managed to find the two and got the two young ponies out and to safety.

While strictly reprimanding his friend (who had more or less forgiven him) the worker brought attention to the appearance of his Cutie mark on his flank.

Character History:

Bastion was born In Trottingham to a family of simple Cabby ponies, the trundlehoofs. Originally his family had made a living as farmers but since Tourism had become a source of income for the city of Trottingham his family had provided a reliable service pulling carriages all around town. He was named after the carriage he and his family were transported in to and from the hospital.

Growing up as colt In trottingham, Brougham's life was fairly peaceful. A lot of his time was spent playing his friends and practicing for the day he would contribute to his family's business(usually by training with a plow and exercising). When Brougham became old enough he began to work as expected by his family in the job of a carriage drive/puller. In time the stallion began to feel rather unfulfilled in his life and decided that perhaps his talents would be best suited for the Royal guard. Initially his parent's had their protests but he eventually won them over. He wasn't the only foal they had after all and just one child pursuing a different career wouldn't really hurt their business at all.

When the stallion came of age he enrolled in the R.E.A. and started out as a simple lieutenant in the Royal guard's Trottingham Division. While his service in this station was commendable he apparently still made enough time for Romance as he wound up dating and eventually marrying the wealthy socialite and unofficial 'duchess' Silver Belle. His relationship with Silver Belle eventually produced to foals that also pursued their own paths in life.

Through a long period of service in the Royal Equestrian Army Brougham gained many achievements and has served at many stations across Equestria, Because of his Strong Constitution and talent for Defensive Strategy he has been given the unofficial title of "The Wall of Trottingham", But he very much prefers to be addressed by his well earned rank of Brigadier General. Because of his high rank though his job has been calling for more attention than he would like because of the recent emergence of new threats to Equestria, he has been unable to spend as much time with his family as he would have liked. However lately he has been seeking to remedy this situation and spend more time with his family and his wife.

Character Summary:

The brigadier General has a great affinity for Defensive strategy and has a very quick and intelligent mind. Due to both the training of the Royal Equestrian Army and his work preparing to pull heavy loads of passengers via carriage in Trottingham before changing his choice of career, Brougham was (and still is) exceptionally strong and fit ,well beyond the norm of Earth pony standards. Today, due to his less physically demanding position his strength has faded but only slightly, he is still a very strong pony despite the lines of gray in his mane. In addition to his talent as a tactician he is heavily interested in the arts and has a bit of a creative and artistic streak. Because of his Deep and sonorous voice he has an excellent singing voice and often uses it to raise morale or to entertain at parties.

Brougham is outwardly a very stoic pony with a naturally intimidating look to his eyes and a deep a powerful voice that is useful for addressing his troops. Inwardly he is a genuinely kind and caring personality and strives to tale care of and improve his troops in both character and performance. Amongst his Superiors and subordinates alike he is known as a firm but fair, yet intimidating general worthy of loyalty and and the bravery those under his command would usually give him.

The term 'stone-faced' us a very accurate term to describe Brougham's expression while interacting with other ponies, although if one spends enough time with him they find he has a dry sense of humor and can occasionally crack a smile when amused by something in a social setting. While with friends and family he is known to be much less serious and will usually have a serene smile. When scared he rarely shows it and when he does show fear it is usually at the potential of those under his charge being in danger (or learning his wife is angry at him.) So far the only pony who has ever managed to make Brougham actively blush and nervous has been none other than his wife and children.

In contradiction to his tough looking appearance, Brougham has a rather potent Sweet tooth and can easily be drawn to various confections. Another surprising quirk of his would be his slight hayfever, a trait he seems to have passed on to at least one of his offspring. Perhaps one of his more embarassing traits would be the fact he can often suffer from Motion sickness and as a result he seems to prefer either rest on long trips by train and keep far away from boats.
