Background Information
Brief
Brennan is an ensign with the Battlestar Genesis' Air Wing. This is his first rotation aboard the Battlestar. He's not really known to be trouble or much of anything, having never really placed any kind of significant impact anywhere. His flying style is controlled and direct. There's no fast and furious with him, just the clean execution of orders. It's not only his greatest strength, but his greatest weakness as well, making him inable to think outside the box. He gets along with almost everyone unless they're in his space. His family on Aerolon was originally rather wealthy (at least on Aerolon terms). His family comprises three sisters and a mother, all of which are strong-willed and very much independent. His grandmother served as a raptor pilot years ago before retiring and joining the farming community his grandfather had worked so hard at creating on Aerolon. He's got a not-so-mild case of OCD and likes being clean at all times.

Trivia
- Callsign: Jumpstart. It was given to him after the squadron in his first assignment saw him his first day of service start his viper and stall it. Talent. It also speaks to the way he speaks, jumping ahead of himself in introductions and stories.
Pre IC History
Family & Childhood
The Doyle family is compact, strong and comprises mostly women that never back down. It might be because of this that Brennan doesn't normally speak up, but it also might be why he takes orders so well. They're part of the farming community of Aerolon's middle class.
Education
The requirements of the Colonial Navy have been met, but never gone beyond the call of duty. He believes in following orders to a tee, acting when and only when he's told to act. Thinking outside the realm of possibility that he could do something on his own during a firefight does not even enter his mind.
Military Service
His previous assignments included a number of Lunar Class LCV's as well as the Battlestar Leonid (a Mercury Class Battlestar). It is possibly because of his lack of imagination while in open space that he has yet to break the rank of ensign and move on toward the rank of lieutenant (junior grade). He does have a record, however, of leaving on good terms with every assignment. Battlestar Genesis is still new to him and he definitely hasn't settled in yet.
