The Brute is a primordial manifestation of the fury of nature and the elements, an unstoppable force that manifests with its fury the grace of life or the imminence of death. Through Wraths, he expresses an essence of stormy fury or his volcanic rage. But make no mistake, the Brute does not only represent the elements out of control, but also the destruction caused by them.
