Brimstone is an Agent in VALORANT.

Biography
Liam Byrne hails from the United States, with possible connections to Baltimore, Maryland. His previous occupations include being a firefighter for the BFD and then a military soldier for a Special Forces squad known as the Ragged Ravens, serving in both professions alongside a close friend which he has known since childhood. At some point, he became affiliated with Kingdom Corporation, eventually becoming a veteran of their subsidiary K/SEC.

After the events of First Light, the secretive VALORANT Protocol was founded, with Byrne being the first agent to join them and eventually becoming its leader and commander, "Brimstone".

Around 11 AFL, Brimstone began overseeing efforts from his office within the Range on replicating the Alpha-Omega teleportals used in the Everett-Linde Research Facility that allowed for travel between Earth-1 and Mirror Earth. Brimstone, alongside Viper, then personally went on an operation which led to an encounter with French weapons designer Vincent Fabron. The encounter did not go smoothly, but nevertheless saw Brimstone welcoming Fabron as the Protocol's 18th agent in order to make progress with the teleportal.

""Sage, remember that you can't save everyone. We save who we can, that's enough""

- Brimstone to Sage

The oldest of the group, Brimstone is a commander with a long history of wearing a uniform, but as if teaching from age and experience wasn't enough to prove his place in leading an organization composed of unique individuals who are each an elite in their own right, then perhaps continuing to work with boots on the ground sealed the deal.

As commander of VALORANT and its most senior member, Brimstone always encourages his teammates whenever he can, and does not seem to obligate his subordinates to speak in a formal or professional manner that is usually seen in the military; this is notable as he refers to the younger agents as "kids." Additionally, Brimstone describes himself to be stubborn, and is quite adamant in not letting age get him into retirement anytime soon.

Appearance
Brimstone is a tall and large man who is commonly seen wearing a blue shirt with a chest plate over it. He wears an orange beret which notably has a gold-colored insignia that depicts two inverted chevrons, possibly referring to his military rank. Brimstone sports a gray mustache and a heavily grown beard. He wears gloves on both hands, and an arm bracer on his left wrist.

He is also known to have a tattoo on his right upper arm.
