Briareos (ブリアレオス Buriareosu?) was one of the guards of Tartarus' main entrance.

Appearance[]

Briareos had ten arms.

His costume included a helmet, which completely hid his face. As well as red armor and shoulder armor on most of his arms.

Personality[]

Very little is known about his personality at the time, though defending Tartarus from the All For One controlled Tomura Shigaraki until he was killed, Briareos showed a great sense of duty.

Synopsis[]

Paranormal Liberation War Arc[]

Briareos' Corpse

Briareos dies protecting the Bronze Gate.

Briareos and his brother Gyges were guarding the Bronze Gate, the Mainland Gate of Tartarus prison. Both are concerned about the death of numerous heroes in the battle against the Paranormal Liberation Front, as well as the escape of numerous villains, including Tomura and seven Near High-End Nomu.

To their shock, several of those Nomus appear in front of them, and Briareos immediately Gyges orders the prison's security robots to repel the attack, as he and Gygas shoots their miniguns. One of the Nomu counterattacks, firing the spikes from its body, and manages to kill Briareos.[1]

Abilities[]

Quirk[]

Unknown Multiple Arm Quirk: Briareos possessed a Quirk that appeared to give him ten arms, though it is unknown if the extra arms were retractable or a permanent addition to his body. It is shown that this Quirk gives him multipurpose abilities as well as enhanced strength to lift large miniguns to fight the Nomu.
