Brett Hand (Inside Job) is the emotionally intelligent, naive, and compassionate co-team leader at Cognito Inc. in Inside Job, serving as a foil to Reagan Ridley. Hired and microchipped by J.R. Scheimpough to support Reagan, he was raised as a scapegoat by conservative parents, often neglected and treated as a "mistake baby". He is a charismatic, emotionally intelligent, yet deeply insecure co-team leader at Cognito Inc.. As a polite people-pleaser with severe abandonment issues stemming from a neglectful, elite upbringing, he often masks his trauma with forced positivity and a high need for validation. He is depicted as a handsome, tall, and slender man in his late twenties to early thirties with broad shoulders and a muscular build. He has distinct auburn hair, blue eyes, and a long nose. His hair is usually pushed back to look professional, but when it isn't styled, it looks similar to a messy mullet. He is a well-mannered, "frat-boy" style character, he usually wears a suit, presenting a clean-cut, friendly, and often naive appearance. He cares a lot about what others think of him, likes pretty much everyone but Reagan Ridley's boyfriend, Ron Staedtler. Staedtler puts no effort into his appearance, disrespects 90s music— specifically Counting Crows, whom Brett loves— and just generally doesn't 'vibe' with him. Brett still tries to like him, but it's hard. Brett loves music, mainly 90s, 00s, and 10s, but he dabbles in all sorts. A specific favorite of his is 'Accidentally In Love' by Counting Crowd, specifically acknowledged from the Shrek 2 soundtrack. Brett has hand puppets he makes as a hobby— one that he is very enthusiastic about— and has one that he made of himself. He often speaks through it, like it were a ventriloquist's dummy, but he usually only uses it to say what he's too scared to. Lil Brett, the puppet, is like a more direct version of Brett. Brett gets emotionally attached very easily because of his lack of a loving family, and is quite clingy with friends or partners.
