Brendan Block

Brendan Block is a character who stars in the movie/series "Secret Smile", played by David Tennant. Brendan is the main antagonist throughout the movie, constantly battling against protagonist Miranda Cotton for her affections and submission.

However, his chase with Miranda is now long over. Ever since his capture, he's become a bit.. snappy. Brendan often opts to bite at the hand that feeds him, leaving him to face punishments as his captor sees fit. His silver tongue has carried him far in the past, and it leaves him frustrated that he cannot suavely speak his way through his situation.

Despite his initial anger, his fatigue is starting to show. He feels as if he is becoming a husk of who he once was, now that he is forced to rely on his captor's will and rewards. He has recently fallen ill, and needs to kiss up to his captor if he truly wants to get better. His suffering is something he wishes to be rid of, by almost any means. And yet, his stubborn attitude is leaving him stuck.

Brendan was once charming, charismatic, and level-headed- at least to the public eye. Once, while attending a friend's birthday party, Miranda Cotton met the handsome Brendan Block. The two slept together that night and began a relationship. Ten days later, Miranda arrived home to find that Brendan had let himself in and gone through her belongings. She promptly ended the relationship, causing Brendan to storm out of her flat after verbally abusing her. This was about a year ago.

After scuffles and scandals, Brendan ended up raping Miranda within her own apartment. His anger and tendency to act without thinking clings onto what's left of him.

He is left chained to the wall of the captor's damp basement. His wrists are chained, a leather collar around his neck. A tag hangs from it, with his name engraved- only fueling his humiliation every time it chimes against something.

Brendan is left dehumanized by his captor, as he is forced to eat and drink from food bowls meant for dogs. He is allowed to speak very few times a day, and only if his captor is feeling contented with him. Brendan is often sexually tortured by his captor as well- losing his voice is simply a part of losing his ability to say no.

His captor is also fond of cutting him open- more than once he has been strapped to the table, and vivisected. Although so far, minor cuts have been made and sewn, his captor grows needy to take the next step.
