Appearance
Bron had long, stringy black hair. When not in his battle outfit Bron wears a standard Patch Cloak with a headband. Like most of the Patch tribe he wears a silver plate on his chest, his is a shaped like a spider, referring to his spider guardian ghost Blue-Net. When in his plant or in his battle outfit he wears a black unitard with spider hair bracelets on his ankles and wrists.

Personality
Bron is normally very calm and follows the Patch policy of neutrality. When under the power of the Patch song Bron becomes very cold and readily kills his opponent without hesitation, while mocking them for in inabillity to fight back in his plant. But after being hit by Lyserg´s Over Soul and later burned by it, he does seem to loose his cool and goes into a frenzy, ignoring his hand being chopped off and having his cranium and knees crushed by Jeanne´s torture over soul.

His Guardian ghost is a spider called Blue-Net(ブルーネット) and it's mediums are wrist and ankle cuffs made out of spider hair. When over souled Bron has the power to create spider webs for walking on, to create nets to catch an opponent or fire them as projectiles. After catching his opponent in individual webs he is somehow able to create several small spiders to rearrange the threads into neatly formed webs.

Shaman Fights in Tokyo
Bron was sent to London to test Lyserg Diethel after the sighting of the destiny star. Lyserg managed to hit Bron after having to track Bron through his ghost alone.

Shaman Fights Second Round
When Silva tried to steal the remaining 4 Elemental Spirits and was captured Goldva ordered Bron and Renim to reeducate him in the ways of the Patch, something Kalim seemed shocked to hear.

Invading the Plants
Eventually Asakura Hao would be crowned the Shaman King by forfeit of the remaining three teams and his own two teammates. When the remaining teams invaded the Plants and was facing of against Silva, Bron showed up alongside Renim and ordered Silva to return to his Plant. There he and Renim revealed their over souls and greeted the invaders. They left and told them to follow the main path or get lost forever.

When Asakura Yoh and company enter the second plant which is Bron's Valley plant. They encounter Bron and he is floating in midair. Bron drops the gang in the valley and attacks. Ryu tries cutting through the spider silk they are netted in but cannot due to it being over souled. Ren flies behind Bron but is slammed down.

Chocolove McDonell overs ouled Pascal Avaf but can not do it fast enough. Lyserg uses Morphine to save everyone and readies himself to fight his old officiant. Bron is revealed to have spider webs under his feet to keep himself up. Lyserg pulls out his X-Laws gun and aims at Bron saying that he will defeat him. Bron wonders how Lyserg would achieve that as he had already killed Tao Ren with a single blow. He then points at Usui Horokeu and notice how they won't have Furyoku to revive one another forever and then kills Horokeu.

Lyserg becomes agitated and points his gun at Bron although he is stopped by Yoh who notes that Bron must have a strange and secret power seeing that he was willing to kill. Bron notes how he should have killed Yoh first but explains about the Patch Song and begins singing it as his spiders rearrange the web holding the invaders. Lyserg over souls his new Archangel and Morphine and moves behind Bron to surprise attack him. Bron however dodges thanks to the web he had layed out over the entire area and attacks but the attack is burned down by Lyserg. Lyserg smacks Bron across the face but Bron powers up. Bron is burned by Lyserg but gets right back up and hits Lyserg in the chest seemingly killing him and turn somehow turns mad.

Iron Maiden Jeanne is however unlocked and is quick to create a guillotine with Over Soul and chops off Bron's arm. Jeanne oversouls another torture device locking Bron in a head and leg torture device. Bron however tells her not to underestimate his Furyoku and increases his power more and creates a spider body by covering his entire body in his Over Soul. Bron quickly attacks Jeanne but to his surprise is stopped by Lyserg, who reveals that the glasses Marco Lasso gave him was bulletproof.

Bron readies himself to finish the fight, but Lyserg uses his Over Soul's many arms to hold Bron telling Bron that can't do anything as him seeing Lyserg alive, disturbed his heart. Lyserg then thanks Bron for everything and unleashes his Cremation attack killing Bron by burning his body within a large vortex of fire. Bron falls to the bottom of his plant dead and Yoh and company move on. His dead body was last seen lying next to Jean who was praying.

He later appears, together with all the other Patch Priests, within the Great Spirit.

Anime/Manga Difference
In the anime Bron was never shown but was only mentioned by Lyserg when he passed his test.
