[He heaves a sigh. He's not going to touch that "generic" remark, wouldn't even if he didn't have the kind of post-cry headache he hasn't had in years starting to clang around behind his eyes.]
Brauner is... we aren't totally sure. He was a painter when he was human, we know that much... the way he's got the Castle contained is running power through pieces of his work. He's taking its power for himself. He thinks of Dracula as a failure, since he's never managed to conquer humanity... he thinks he can do better.
... Ah, one of those types. So he's some sort of demonic mage or some sort? Do you have anyone searching for his paintings? Destroying those sounds like it would cut him off...
"Or some sort", yeah. Rumors were that he got himself turned on purpose, or did it to himself... and yeah, my partner and I were working on that. Not destroying, but neutralizing them, she'd match her power to the... I guess you'd call it current? Frequency? The way the paintings were real. We'd go in and fight through to the embodiment of his will in the painting, kill it, and that'd take care of that. Problem is we don't know how many he's got linked in. Could be eight, could be eighty....
Ah, like the Harmonizer. I understand. Somewhat similar to how Kazuya and his friends went inside of Kuzuryu's mind... but heh. Don't give up. Even if it takes forever, there's at least a solution.

In any case, I suppose I should ask... who's Brauner?

[He makes a noise that's not quite a laugh or a sigh, somewhere between the two.]
Of all the people... but you've been kind to me. Thank you. I just... I wish there was something I could do.

Unless you have the sort of power that can help beat up the future King of Demons - or God Himself - there's not much you can do.
[He'll... ignore that 'kind' comment.]

My father did. He didn't pass it on before he passed on. I'm sorry.

I was being sarcastic, Jonathan. I didn't expect you to. It's fine - there's no need to beat yourself up over it.
... Though what kind of power did he have, out of curiosity?
