==Appearances and Personality==
Brian makes only three short appearances in the show, in episodes "[[The Lab Brat]]," "[[The Old and the Beautiful]]" and "[[Groped by an Angel]]," plus a non-speaking appearance in [[Is It College Yet?|IICY?]].
His appearances in the two last episodes
This behaviour takes on a more sinister edge thanks to ''[[The Daria Database]]'', which strongly implies that Brian has been systematically murdering every single pet cat the family has ever had and that they know he's doing it ("cats disappear with Brian around, so family no longer bothers coming up with original names"). We're told this sick bastard "loves electrical cords, duct tape and the whimper of a helpless animal on a hot afternoon".

==In Fanfiction==
Brian is one of the characters most often described as "evil" by fans of the series. This perception is strongly reinforced in many of the fanfics about him, which often present him as a dangerous psychopath. Examples include
* "[http://www.thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=499654#p499654 Young Love]," a highly disturbing (and inaccurately named) one-shot by [[RX-87]], which depicts him raping [[Tricia Gupty]].
* "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8618651/1/Darkeresteemers Darkeresteemers]" by [[Shiva]], which depicts an older Brian meeting Daria in [[Self-Esteem Class]].
*"[http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=43575 Children of the Scorn]" by [[Kristen Bealer]], where he almost murders the entire cast ("I was just kidding!")
A rare example of a sympathetic Brian is [[JoeMerl]]'s "[[Cats, Cast and Card]]," which explores his own view of his family and gives him an unusually amiable relationship with [[Ashley-Amber Taylor|Ashley-Amber]].
