Biography

Season 1

Brucks is first shown going into the liquor store with Kyler and other two friends, trying to buy beer. However, Miguel Diaz who is also in there outs them for being underage. Furious, Kyler bullying him and then pushes him into a 1991 Pontiac Firebird, owned by Johnny Lawrence. When Johnny tells the group of teens to leave Miguel alone Brucks and Kyler make fun of him. An angry Johnny then kicks Kyler, which shocks Brucks and the other two. The four then attack Johnny, but Johnny beats all of them up, before he is arrested by police.

During the Halloween dance Brucks along with Kyler and the other two friends run into Miguel in the locker room and make fun of him for learning karate. An angered Miguel kicks Kyler. However, Brucks then pins Miguel to a locker, and he along with Kyler and his other two friends beat Miguel up, leaving him severely injured once they walk away.

A days later, at the school library, Brucks and Kyler bully again Miguel, Demetri and Eli Moskowitz (later Hawk), making fun of Eli's lip scar, pushing Miguel, and throwing Demetri's backpack in the trash, staining it with yogurt, but are unaware that Kyler's girlfriend at the time, Samantha LaRusso, witnesses what they are doing.

At the cafeteria, when Kyler spreads false rumors about Samantha, Brucks and the rest of his gang laugh, as Kyler openly mocks her. In that, Miguel arrives and orders Kyler to leave Sam alone. Kyler taunts Miguel and challenges him to another fight, and Brucks joins in to attack Miguel alongside Kyler's other two friends. However, all four are beaten and ultimately defeated by Miguel in front of the entire student body.

After the fight, Miguel Daiz tells Johnny how he beat up Kyler and his friends, Johnny is surprised and even asks if Miguel beat up “the big dumb one" (Brucks).

When Brucks, Kyler, Yasmine and Moon come to the lake to celebrate Yasmine's birthday, they see it is crowded with many people that Yasmine typically does not associate with. When Kyler sees Miguel there he loses his nerve and suggests they leave, and Brucks follows him.

Season 2

Brucks does not appear and is not mentioned in season 2, but it's possible that he witnessed the school fight.

Season 3

Brucks tries out for Cobra Kai alongside Kyler. After recognizing Hawk, both Brucks and Kyler make fun of him. When Hawk declares that he will fight Brucks, the latter mockingly says he will fix his lip. However, after Hawk takes off his shirt which exposes his tattoo on his back, Brucks is shown to be freaked out. Hawk then starts aggressively beating him up for his past bullying. Despite Brucks pleading him to stop at one point, Hawk beats him so savagely that even the jaded Tory is shocked. When the fight ends, Brucks is groaning in pain and Kyler looks visibly frightened of Hawk, who's knuckles are bloody from the beating. John Kreese laughs and tells someone to pick Brucks up. After being beaten up by Hawk, Brucks is not seen or mentioned for the rest of the season 3. Kyler abandons Brucks to join Cobra Kai.

Season 4

Brucks does not appear and is not mentioned in season 4.

Season 5

Brucks does not appear and is not mentioned in season 5.

Personality

Brucks is a bully and always ready to fight, but apart from that he's a fairly good humored and jovial person. Oddly, he seems to be somewhat concerned about other people's grammar, once lecturing Kyler out of nowhere on the objects of prepositions.

Fighting Style

An untrained brawler, Brucks tries to overbear opponents with his size. He has no defensive abilities whatsoever; skilled fighters like Eli are able to hit him practically at will. However, he was briefly able to gain an advantage over a rusty Johnny.

Relationships

Kyler Park

Brucks is Kyler's best friend and right-hand man. He often helps Kyler bully people, particularly Miguel, Demetri, and Eli. However, after Miguel defeats Kyler's gang, they don't bully him again for the rest of season 1.

In season 3, Brucks joins Cobra Kai along with Kyler after being recruited by Kreese. When they see Eli (now Hawk), they make fun of him. However, after Brucks is brutally beaten by Hawk, Kyler is shown to be scared of Hawk. Brucks is not seen or mentioned for the rest of the season. Kyler doesn't interact with him in Season 4 or 5; therefore, it is unknown if they are still friends.
