Brunt

Coach Brunt (ブラント, Buranto), is both a fictional character and one of the main antagonists of the Carmen Sandiego series. She is a Professor at V.I.L.E. Academy, and one of the five members of the V.I.L.E. Faculty, who doubles as the Academy's teacher instructor, teaching Combat, Physical Training, and Self-Defense. She was Carmen’s "mama bear" when she was growing up on V.I.L.E. Isle, Carmen’s favorite teacher, the closest thing she had to a mother figure, and she had a soft spot for Carmen.

Coach Brunt has been looking after Carmen since she was a baby. Carmen always thought and suspected that Coach Brunt was the one who found her on the side of the road in Argentina, so the two shared a good relationship. Her nickname for Carmen was Lambkins, a reference to Carmen's former code name, "Black Sheep". Coach Brunt was strongly in favor of allowing Carmen to enroll in the Academy at a younger age than those usually admitted.

Among The Faculty members, Coach Brunt remained Carmen's staunchest protector and advocate until the latter's departure from V.I.L.E. Isle. Brunt, like the other faculty members, was quite upset over Carmen’s betrayal. However, it seems that Carmen still has a soft spot for Coach Brunt.

This is thought when Carmen gets altitude sickness and mistakes Dr. Pilar as Coach Brunt, saying that she always knew it was Coach Brunt who found her as a baby (however, it is revealed that it was Shadow-san who found Carmen). Although, Brunt denies still having a soft spot for Carmen, saying that Carmen was dead to her after she left. It is still unknown if what Brunt said was true or not.
