Not much is known of Bran Duval's past outside of the fact that he is 'French Revolution' old and that he was transformed into a vampire under unknown circumstances. Both himself and his brothe were transformed into vampires by Vincent Montanero who is considered to be 'vampire royalty.' They also had a sister, but she died under mysterious circumstances. They were turned in the 1700's in Europe and arrived on American soil in the 19th century. They are founding members of the town of Midnight Harbor and Damien is head of Duval House. As head of Duval house, Damien is responsible for building and keeping partnerships with different vampire fractions.

In Midnight Harbor, humans are pledged to different fractions of supernatural beings, including vampires. Once pledged, humans received protection and a few other bonuses in exchange for giving themselves over. When a human is pledged to a specific vampire house, like the Duvals, they received protection and any other bonuses in return for giving those of that house permission to feed on them. Vampires are also not above using humans as pawns in the twisted games they play with one another. Outside of Midnight Harbor, it is hinted that humans are unaware of the supernatural creatures that live among them.

Brann was in the midst of attending a party thrown by his brother at the expensive, large home he and his brother own in Midnight Harbor. He was in the midst of a discussion with his brother when Kelly McMahon stumbled into the room. At this point, he was transported to Madison Valley, same as Damien.

When Bran walks into a room, people take notice. Okay, probably people take notice because he’s second only to his brother in terms of power for the Duval house and is treated like royalty by those of the Duval house. But, he does stand at six feet four inches, with black hair and gold eyes and possesses the body of a god. This also means that people are constantly throwing themselves at the vampire. Bran certainly takes some of them up on their offers, depending how how feels and how hungry he is. It’s stated he slept with other people while dating his ex-girlfriend, Skye.

Bran mentions at one point that there are two people in the world for whom he’d die: Damien, his older brother, and their third in command: Jimmy, who is a close confident to both brothers. So, while he might not be the best when it comes to monogamy, the vampire understands loyalty, but only to a select few.

He does not have control of his emotions and actions. While Damien might take a situation into consideration, bide his time, and strike later, Bran is more of the act now and deal with the consequences later type, even if he doesn't always care about the consequences (or ever care about them). A clear example of this is when Julian Locke storms into the courthouse while Kelly is petitioning to be let our of her pledge to the Locke House. Bran doesn’t hesitate to kill a few in his very pissed off mood.

That being said, when Bran speaks, he expects to be obeyed. Even if he loves the person, and he does fall in love with one person, the relationship is on his terms mostly. Because if he can control the other person than he can control situations and keep the person safe. Also, because he’s a vampire, hot as fuck, and isn’t usually told no.

That all being said, he expects honesty and will almost always return it in earnest. If he cares for someone he’ll do everything for that person. Madison Valley will be an adjustment, but with his older brother, he’ll feel slightly more inclined to behave, especially since he can’t leave.
