Afton High's aggressive basketball coach, secretly involved with Ms. Naomi, who backs Kian in the washhouse incident and testifies for Mikael at trial.
Character summary
Book 3
Sanctuary: The Shadows of Afton
Coach Bruno runs the team with a win-at-all-costs mentality that mirrors the village's tolerance of violence.
He protects Kian when trouble erupts and rearranges equipment roles so Mikael becomes the team's manager.
At trial he speaks in Mikael's defense, one of the few institutional voices willing to show mercy.
