Bruno was born on Leonis, to one of the poorest families on the colony. His mother died while giving birth to him, and his two older brothers soon followed her into the afterlife, dying both from horrible lung diseases and malnutrition. Bruno's father was a man of few words, and weeks would go by where all he said to his son was 'go clean the outhouse' and 'that pig is ready to be butchered'. Bruno takes after him.
After barely graduating from his local school, Bruno joined up with his town's firefighters. From age 18 to 25, he lived to put out fires, work out his fantastic body, and learn to brew various different beers in his spare time, a passion of his. But rumors began to fly around the small town of a girl claiming that her unborn child was his, and he quickly left to join the military. Whether to earn enough money to support them or get out of dodge, no one knows.
He finished his basic training and AIT with ease, the former on Leonis, the latter on Picon. His first posting was the Hairetos as a Private, where he stayed for four years, eventually being promoted through to Corporal there. He was then sent to the Assaultstar Victory from 2035-2041, thick in the heat of the action. He's seen his fair share of men under his command go down, and isn't too fond of the Saggies as a result. He'll work with them, but he won't drink with them.
He's been waiting on his promotion to Staff Sgt for about four years now, and wasn't too pleased to hear that he was being transfered to the new Battlestar Cerberus, seeing as the two marine platoons already have their SSGTs. However, since WarDay, the chances of them dying have improved considerably, so perhaps his attitude has, as well.
