Biography

This section requires expansion

Ravager Restlessness

Yondu's faction of Ravagers go to the Iron Lotus on Contraxia to relax. Guarded by Brahl and Halfnut, Yondu patronizes a local brothel. Later, Stakar Ogord confronts Yondu, recounting exiling him years ago for breaking the Ravager code. Meanwhile, Taserface drinks with Retch and Kraglin Obfonteri, discussing how Yondu might be going soft and suggests that alternate leadership might be more profitable for the crew. Just as Stakar leaves, Ayesha arrives to hire Udonta's faction to hunt down the Guardians of the Galaxy, who have stolen Anulax Batteries from them. Udonta takes the job.

Attack on Berhert

The Ravagers land on the planet Berhert where they approach the wrecked Milano, which is playing music loudly. Little do they know that it's a trap set by Rocket Raccoon, who is perched in a nearby tree. A few Ravagers are knocked out by needles shot at them. Others are launched into the air repeatedly by compression mines. Rocket then plants electric charges on many of the remaining Ravagers' heads and shocks them.

Eventually, Rocket runs out of traps and is cornered by Brahl and another Ravager. Rocket knocks them unconscious in unarmed combat. Suddenly, a whistle is heard, followed by the Yaka Arrow hovering right in front of Rocket's face. It's Yondu Udonta along with the remaining Ravagers. After consideration, Udonta decides to not capture Rocket, but take the batteries and sell them instead - infuriating the other Ravagers. Taserface is particularly unhappy with Udonta's leadership, accusing him of cowardice and costing them money. The Ravagers argue for a bit until their standoff is ended by Nebula, who shoots off Yondu's Yaka Arrow Controller, knocking him out.

The Mutiny

Aboard the Eclector (now led by Taserface), Brahl and Halfnut eject all the Ravagers that sided with Udonta, including Tullk and Oblo, through an airlock into space.

Death

Kraglin Obfonteri eventually has a change of heart and retrieves Udonta's larger prototype Yaka Arrow Controller and decides to help him escape, as regrets that the mutiny became so destructive. Udonta tells Kraglin to get the third Quadrant ready for release. Brahl is among the mutinous Ravagers who is shot with the Yaka Arrow as Yondu takes his revenge and regains control of the ship.
