Brian makes his only appearance on-screen during the episode [[I Don't]], which deals of his marriage to Erin. He spends most of the time making chauvanist remarks, either as jokes (to the annoyance of [[Daria Morgendorffer]]) or in a futile attempt to diffuse a tense situation. He eventually flees his own wedding reception to escape his in-laws fighting, and when found in a bar says: "I'm not going back there. I don't care who sent you"

He once worked in government intelligence, according to himself and Erin. He did not have his job long, however - possibly because Erin liked telling everyone what Brian did for a living - and was fired after his honeymoon.

In Season 5, his marriage was breaking down and it came out he was living off Erin's salary while studying for a real estate exam. It was also revealed that he'd got her to sign a pre-nuptial that'd give him 50% of her assets if there was a divorce, and that they'd only gotten married because he'd given her herpes and she felt nobody else would want her.
In Season 5, his marriage was breaking down and it came out he was living off Erin's salary while studying for a real estate exam. Erin actually wants a divorce in "[[Aunt Nauseum]]", hiring her aunt [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] to start the proceedings while revealing that he'd gotten her to sign a pre-nuptial that'd give him 50% of her assets if there was a divorce and that they'd only gotten married because he'd given her herpes and she felt nobody else would want her. However, during the episode, Brian is able to talk her out of it after flying to Switzerland and they had a second honeymoon there (It is often [[fanon|assumed by fans]] that [[Grandma Barksdale]] paid to send him there, to keep the couple together).

Brian's last name was not revealed with precision in the show. It appears, from the way Daria referred to the wedding in "I Don't", that his surname is Danielson, as the bride's name almost always comes first in wedding announcements by convention. In some fanfics, Brian is known as Brian Chambers.
