Brett's family hails from the windy, cold cliffs of Cornwall, in South West England. They belong to a coven devoted to the study of magic, using their findings to improve the field as a whole. However, things changed when Darien Holt fell in love with a non-mage, Florence.

Brett was shy in his youth, only really opening up to his family and a few close friends. He had some edge to him, though, deciding to get his ears pierced and start dyeing his hair as a teenager. He also got his first tattoo when he turned eighteen, beginning the "constellation" of stars on his back. To him, the stars represent magic's endless realm of possibilities. They also refer to a nickname his parents gave him as a child, Starlight.

His love of alchemy stems from visits to his family's tower back in England, where he would be enamored with the older scholars' ability to create all sorts of wonders from seemingly mundane ingredients.

BACKSTORY
EARLY YEARS

Brett Holt is an alchemist, shopkeeper and part-time hero currently residing in Talos Island. Brett's family hails from the windy, cold cliffs of Cornwall, in South West England. They belong to a coven devoted to the study of magic, using their findings to improve the field as a whole. However, things changed when Darien Holt fell in love with a non-mage, Florence. While the coven was supportive of their relationship, Darien and Florence felt like raising children within the tower's walls would be stifling, especially if some of them didn't inherit Darien's magical ability. So, they decided to move to a diverse community that would serve their needs - Paragon City, USA. Brett is the youngest of three children, and he suspects that his foppish tendencies are a result of growing up with two sisters.

Brett was shy in his youth, only really opening up to his family and a few close friends. He had some edge to him, though, deciding to get his ears pierced and start dyeing his hair as a teenager. He also got his first tattoo when he turned eighteen, beginning the "constellation" of stars on his back. To him, the stars represent magic's endless realm of possibilities. They also refer to a nickname his parents gave him as a child, Starlight.

His love of alchemy stems from visits to his family's tower back in England, where he would be enamored with the older scholars' ability to create all sorts of wonders from seemingly mundane ingredients. Though, he always wondered why they didn't apply their craft more practically to solve people's problems. After graduating from college and leaving his parents with an empty nest, they decided to move back home, accompanied by one of his sisters, Dana.
