Brian had an interesting childhood, being born with a power that he had to work extra hard to control. Brian was raised without a father, but it didn't have too much of a negative impact on him. He may not known how to the typical "man" stuff, but he did grow up knowing how to be hard and essentially how to be a boss. He knows how to deal with liars, cheaters, and fakes in order to avoid getting hurt. He has the verbal and mental power of an alpha, even if he lacks physical strength. If he touches something the wrong way, he could freeze it. But, in all honestly, he could freeze with his ice cold words, anyway. Despite being royal, he wasn't just some pampered brat. He had been raised to earn all the nice things his mother gave him, so he knows what works is, and doesn't take his blessings for granted, because he knows that others are not as fortunate as him. This is why he can't stand most other royals. They are usually spoiled. He only tolerates them because he has to.
