Appearance:

He also has three wooden bottles secured to his back, and a Chinese tobacco pipe with a bag of tobacco secured to his belt.

Personality:

• Brad is characterized by his love of alcohol as well as his overall nonchalant demeanor. He fights with honor and exhibits the spirit of a true martial artist in that he treats others with the respect they deserve, never talking down to an opponent, though of course, if attacked, he will defend himself. He tends to be flirty, showy, and confident in front of women, including those far younger than him, notably Ayane and Kokoro. However he is also quite comfortable with older otherworldly women like Nyotengu, who he shares a drink with after their fight, which goes smoothly as Nyotengu shares his more laid back flirty demeanor and appreciation of alcohol. He also has a bit of a lazy streak as seen when he's traveling with Eliot, due to his continual drunkenness and being unemployed without any real goals other than to drink and fight to his heart's content.
• Hobbies: Erhu and playing a game of Go
• Favorite Drinks: Alcoholic Beverages

Relationships:

• Chen: Brad seems to have a lot of respect in his master, seeing that he went on a three year long journey looking for the Genra drink for him. However, he does describe him as an "average drunk," which could be seen as an insult. However, he may just be speaking the truth about Chen given his master's fascination with the Genra drink.
• Gen Fu: Brad first meets Gen Fu in the third tournament. He had heard about the master possessing the "Iron Fist" through word-of-mouth stories, although Gen Fu assures him that his power is not fairytales. Brad possibly has respect for the old master.
• Eliot: Brad talks to Eliot before their battle, trying to help him understand Gen Fu's trust in him. This shows that Eliot may trust Brad to a certain extent, since he talks to him about such a personal subject. The two of them also bare some common ground when it comes to their masters. It seems like Brad Wong is traveling along with Eliot, most likely causing comedical moments by "annoying" him, even with Eliot having matured and undergone his master's harsher training, Brad still acts as more of an annoyance to Eliot. While Eliot frequently will tell Brad to get a hold of himself, Brad still continues his antics of annoying him, although even he himself does acknowledge Eliot's improving skill when the two fight against each other.

Background:

• One day, Brad's martial arts teacher Chen sent him on a journey to find a type of wine called "Genra." Although the drink was a mystery to Brad, he began his journey and spent three years looking for the drink. After three years of wandering, Brad finds himself in the third Dead or Alive Tournament. During the tournament, he encounters Ayane and harasses her in his drunken state. He then faces Hayate, who is mad at him for trying to hit on his younger sister. Brad later encounters Gen Fu, who assures him that his fabled power is for real. Instead of finding the drink Genra, Brad finds Genra in the form of the monster Omega. After fighting Omega, Brad leaves the tournament to continue his journey. It seems that he gives up his drink at the end but it could be that he has just weakened his habit because he is seen drinking again at the next tournament.
• Brad is still looking for the legendary drink Genra when he enters the fourth tournament. During said tournament, Eliot speaks with him about his self-doubts and why Gen Fu chose him as his successor. In return, Brad tells him not to worry about it and that the boy should pity his master, saying that Gen Fu has been "lonely" all his life. They then engage in battle. Later when he sees Kokoro, Brad takes a liking to her and offers her to share a drink with him. However, the girl rejects him and fights him instead. When Bass Armstrong goes on a rampage over his daughter Tina's decision to become a rock star, Brad happened to be there at that moment and Bass tries to take it out on him. The two of them then have a fight. After the tournament, Brad finally gets his hands on the Genra wine. When he drinks it, however, he seems to have a trippy, drug-like experience, hinting that the drink was nothing more than a hallucinogen.
• Before the fifth tournament, Brad accompanies Eliot on his journey of training. They learn of the tournament while they're fighting over the last piece of their dinner. While traveling in China, Brad runs into Ayane again and tries to hit on her like he did before. As she is about to slap him, Brad is flipped over by Eliot. They continue their travels to New York, where Brad drinks heavily again at a diner. As he leaves, trips over and fights Zack, who has just been defeated by Tina. He follows the waitress, Mila, to her gym, still waiting for her to give him his drink. He fights her but is defeated. When Eliot finds him, they go into a tag team fight against Mila and Tina, which is yet another loss for them. Brad and Eliot continue their travels to a circus that's still under construction, where they fight and defeat Leifang and Hitomi in a tag duel. As the tournament fighters gather at the Taylor's Bar, Brad is shoved into a table by Jann Lee, who insults him and tells him to leave. Fortunately for Brad, Rig manages to step in between and stops Lee with a fight. After the tournament, Brad accompanies Eliot back to China. When the boy get optimistic in winning next time, Brad mocks him, telling him that he's nothing but talk, and challenges him to a fight. When Eliot wins and talks with his master, Gen Fu, about learning xinyi liuhe quan, Brad disappears and falls asleep behind a table, leaving Eliot confused of where he went off to.
