"Identify yourself!"

- The Corporal to The Governor upon reaching the soldiers' convoy.

Corporal Brad is a junior non-commissioned officer of the Georgia Army National Guard who survived the initial outbreak of the undead. He was part of a group of other surviving Guardsmen, including their lone helicopter pilot Lieutenant Welles. Together they abandoned their post after their encampment was overrun by walkers.

Location Unknown
Next to nothing is known about Brad's personal life before or as the outbreak occurred, except that he served within the 48th Infantry Brigade of the Georgia Army National Guard.

Unnamed Refugee Center
Sometime after the initial outbreak, Corporal Brad, among other National Guardsmen, was stationed at an outpost near Atlanta, Georgia, in which they fortified to help protect those inside. Days before the events of the episode "Walk With Me", one of the inhabitants was bitten by a walker inside the encampment. As chaos ensued, panicked individuals opened one of the gates to escape, allowing walkers to overrun the outpost. The Corporal and ten other National Guardsmen, among them being Lieutenant Welles, escaped the chaos in two M35 military trucks loaded with weapons and supplies and a flatbed truck towing a UH-1 "Huey" helicopter and traveled for about sixty miles before they were blocked by a highway full of abandoned vehicles (which may have been the same highway that prevented Rick's group from reaching Fort Benning in the episode "What Lies Ahead"). Welles along with soldiers Sean and Franklin then took their helicopter-in-tow to scout the landscape ahead, while the Corporal and the rest of the convoy stayed behind, waiting for their return and taking inventory of their supplies.

"Walk With Me"
After the helicopter crashed due to mechanical failure, Welles is taken to Woodbury by The Governor and his men, where he reveals to The Governor the location of his convoy before he is quietly killed to avoid any suspicion. Later the next day, The Governor drives up in a car to the convoy's location, waving a white flag as part of his facade. Corporal Brad spots the vehicle and takes immediate precaution, telling his men to stay alert while he brandishes his own rifle. With his M4A1 at the ready, the Corporal asks about Welles' location and well-being. The Governor lies, but is able to assure the Corporal and his men that Welles is alive and well at Woodbury, and invites them to the town. After the convoy lets their guard down from hearing the "good news", The Governor shoots the Corporal in the chest with a pistol, leaving the rest of the convoy to be ambushed and killed from a surprise attack by Woodbury soldiers. The Governor approaches the Corporal, who is fatally wounded, and beats his face in with the butt of his gun, which inevitably kills him.

"Live Bait"
After the downfall of Woodbury and the massacre of its citizen "soldiers" at the hands of the very man who created it, The Governor, Martinez, and Shumpert go back to the site where they slaughtered Corporal Brad's men and set up camp for the night. The bodies of the Corporal and his men are seen almost fully devoured. That night, Martinez and Shumpert abandon The Governor out of spite of his actions.

Killed By
The Governor arrived at the convoy's location, and led them to believe that he was friendly and that he had recovered Welles. Unexpectedly, Philip shot Corporal Brad in the chest, and Philip's men opened fire on the group, killing them all. Still alive after being shot, but mortally wounded, the Corporal then had his head smashed-in by The Governor, who used the butt of the Corporal's gun to deliver three fatal blows, which inevitably killed him.

Lieutenant Welles
After the helicopter crashed, Welles told the Governor where Brad and the other National Guards men were, hoping that The Governor would bring them back safely to Woodbury. After finding Brad and the rest of the men, Brad was overjoyed when he found out Welles had survived, indicating they at least cared about each other's safety. This relationship could not be developed any further as Brad was shot and killed and Welles was decapitated.
