Brut of Lashmar is a human warrior who was part of the strike team led by Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, and Erekosë in the battle against the alien sorcerers Agak and Gagak. He was part of the unit commanded by Elric, and like several others on the team he was searching for Tanelorn before he boarded the Dark Ship. Brut is a massively built man with blond hair and beard and blue eyes. He is from the city of Lashmar in the Young Kingdoms nation of Dharijor where his noble family holds land. He has a strong dislike of sorcery, for it was sorcery that somehow resulted in his fall from grace and forced him to leave his homeland under a cloud of guilt.[1]
Brut eventually became a resident of Tanelorn. He was part of a caravan led by Rackhir that set out from the city to obtain supplies in Jadmar. On the return trip from Jadmar the caravan was attacked by Theleb K'aarna and a beggar army from Nadsokor under King Urish. Elric and Moonglum came to the caravan's aid and the attackers were defeated.[2]
Later when Tanelorn was besieged by the beggar army led by Narjhan the Chaos Lord, Brut led the defence of the city while Rackhir set out to seek supernatural assistance from the Grey Lords. Brut survived the conflict and fought using his battle axe and spiked mace.[3]
