Bryce Sterling

Bryce Sterling, a character in the Veil of Secrets book, is the younger brother of Tanner Sterling, and the son of Pierce and Margaret. Bryce - unlike his parents - was explicit and open about his contempt for Tanner's fiance, Kate O'Malley, whom he perceived to be a gold digger. He makes his first appearance in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Bryce has light redlike skin, short brown hair and green eyes. He has a light stubble, and wears a brown blazer over a pink shirt. He is also shown to be a slob, given that you can point out that his fly is down, his breath smells, and that he has cocktail sauce on his stomach.

Personality
Bryce is shown to be a very rude and unpleasant person, being described by your character, Flynn, and Grant as an asshole. It is evident that he is an alcoholic given that he is often shown intoxicated or pouring himself a drink. He has derogatory views towards people who have a lower social status than his family.

Despite his condescending attitude towards Kate, he seemed to have been obsessed with her, having planted a spy camera in her apartment and pocketed one of her bras.

Biography
In his first scene in the first chapter, during the wedding rehearsal, Bryce rises from his seat and openly yells to everyone how Tanner's wife, Kate, is a gold digger, causing some drama which Your Character may get involved in. In the following chapter, by which point Kate's disappeared, Bryce is openly pleased with Kate's disappearance, believing that she ran away out of cowardice. In the third chapter, after Your Character exits the police station following an unsuccessful attempt to convince the local PD to investigate the case, Bryce urges you into a car and drives you to the Sterling family estate. During the car ride, and at the estate, Bryce and his parents make a thinly veiled threat to Your Character that they do not want them looking into this.

Pierce and Margaret Sterling
Pierce and Margaret are his parents.

Tanner Sterling
Tanner is his older brother. In Chapter 9, it is revealed that he was highly jealous of Tanner given that he was loved by the people of Birchport while Bryce was seen as the "family loser".

Flynn O'Malley
Bryce keyed Flynn's car when Flynn was 18, which lead to him stealing Bryce's car for revenge. Bryce's father managed to convince the court to give Flynn a higher sentence than usual, which lead to Flynn spending six years in prison. Bryce later attacked Flynn at Kate's wedding day.
