  • Any senior military person in a sci-fi drama who is a good guy. Will sometimes be skeptical of the existence of the Monster of the Week. When convinced and facing the current menace, Five Rounds Rapid is usually his default response to deal with it. However, when that fails, he is generally ready to admit when he is wrong and is immediately open to other ways to handle the situation. By senior, we mean someone above the rank of Colonel Badass or naval Captain. Often, The Brigadier is also a Reasonable Authority Figure. Often paired with a Technical Pacifist main character, either to prove that violence wouldn't solve the problem anyway, or to allow the Technical Pacifist to have someone else fire the guns. A natural employment for an Officer and a Gentleman. See also: Four-Star Badass. Contrast General Ripper, Insane Admiral. In the rankings of Authority Tropes, the next lower step is Colonel Badass. The next steps up are are the Four-Star Badass, The Caligula, The Good Chancellor, Evil Chancellor, Standard Royal Court and Deadly Decadent Court. Note that The Brigadier is not necessarily a Brigadier (as in General), but may have any number of stars. Examples of The Brigadier include:
