Bradshaw

Bradshaw is one of the top wingmen of the Air Armada and Wrastor's closest friend. Originally, Bradshaw was a non-playable character, but he's since become playable in the Definitive Edition as a skin for Wrastor, being unlocked through the Milestone System after reaching 250 kills with Wrastor.

Background

Bradshaw, similarly to Wrastor, is one of the top wingmen of the Air Armada. While Wrastor is reckless and cocky, Bradshaw is cautious and steady, yet despite their differences, the two are incredibly close friends.

During a routine scouting mission, the two notice the Rock Wall has been damaged, deciding to head closer to investigate. However, Kragg, who's anxiously repairing the wall, believes the Air Armada intends to take advantage of the wall's weakness, leading him to attack. He throws a large rock at the duo, hitting Bradshaw and knocking him unconscious, while Wrastor flies into a blind rage and attacks Kragg. He ends up defeating the Wall Runner and taking Bradshaw back to base.

Following Orcane sneaking onboard the Air Armada's fleet, Wrastor and Bradshaw, the latter now with one of his wings in a sling, end up encountering the water creature and are shocked to find him there. Wrastor attempts to fight Orcane, but ends up losing, allowing Orcane to steal back the Water Trade Company's goods.

Later, when Wrastor arrives at the Aethereal Gates, the narration mentions how he tracked Kragg down to take revenge for what he did to Bradshaw.

In Lovers of Aether

Bradshaw has several cameos in Lovers of Aether, though he's not available as a route. Bradshaw first appears in the background of the Computer Lab Game, playing Rivals of Aether on his computer. Should the player fail to beat all three levels in the game, they'll claim to be Bradshaw when Swiftwing asks for their name.

Several photos of Bradshaw appear in what seems to be Wrastor's locker, as well as seemingly a torn portion of his scarf, and "B + W" inside a heart shape carved into the door.

Zetterburn will tease the player about a rumor going around regarding them and Bradshaw.

Finally, during the final scene, Bradshaw can be seen in the background seemingly unintentionally being knocked into.
