Bruno was a brigand of Spielburg, and later Silmaria. He served as a minor antagonist in Quest for Glory 1, and the secondary antagonist of Quest for Glory V.
Game interaction[]
Quest for Glory I[]
He was a friend of Brutus. He wears a cloak, possesses the talents of a thief, and shows extreme skill with poisoned daggers.
After the Hero exited the Spielburg Town's gates at least twice, during times of midday (11-13) or mid-afternoon (14-16) he stands outside the gates, playing with his daggers. He seems very well knowledgeable about the Spielburg Valley and its underground, including the Thieves' Guild (Spielburg).
For a price, he provides the Hero with pieces of basic information. He also suggests to him to try Dragon's Breath.
Bruno leaves crumpled notes from Brutus in the Aces and Eights Tavern. He seems to be a double agent between the Guild and the Brigands, without the Chief Thief's knowledge.
One day, after the return of Baronet Barnard von Spielburg he had arranged with Brutus a meeting at midday in the Archery Range at the south wall of Spielburg Town to discuss about a dangerous-looking stranger, and also the new password to the Secret Entrance. Bruno planned to allow the stranger to distract brigand leader Elsa von Spielburg in order to kill her.
Quest for Glory V[]
Casting Frost Bite at the town's gate, finishing off the hidden Bruno
Bruno then goes to Silmaria and works as a hired assassin for Minos. His first two victims is Justinian and the Chief Thief of Silmaria. He is found in at certain times in the Dead Parrot Inn and the Thieves' Guild, always concealing his face with a cloak. He meets the Hero and talks in a glaringly hateful manner. In addition to the pay received for the murder of the former King of Silmaria and other marks, he eagerly seeks personal revenge on the Hero and Elsa for ruining his plans in Spielburg.
It is implied that he murders both Kokeeno Pookameeso and Magnum Opus, two of the contenders for the throne of Silmaria, in order to help Minos carry out the prophecy that will release the Dark Dragon. He also injures (or kills) Rakeesh and Ugarte with poisoned daggers. He makes his move against the Hero during The Rite of Justice. He is then mortally wounded and reveals his identity but not who hired him.
Bruno spends most of the game though hidden behind the town's gate. This means early in the game the hero can just walk to the town's gate, cast Frost Bite at it and kill the hidden Bruno, then at the following morning be summoned automatically to the last rite.
