Death and Reconstruction
In "The Mysterons", Captain Brown, partnering Captain Scarlet, is appointed the leader of an operation to protect the World President from assassination at the hands of the extraterrestrials. However, while the captains drive to New York City, the Mysteron influence punctures one of the tyres on the their Spectrum Saloon, causing the vehicle to crash. The Mysterons duplicate the dead men's bodies and task the reconstructions to kill the President.
In New York, the Mysteronised Brown escorts the President to a Maximum Security Building. However, the reconstruction is actually a walking bomb and, once inside the President's office, exudes smoke and explodes. However, the President survives by activating an emergency escape hatch just before the detonation. Later, Scarlet kidnaps the President, but he is killed before inexplicably returning to life with his human consciousness restored.
Brown is a smoker and carries a cigarette case, his nationality is not revealed but he speaks with a refined British accent.

“Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter’s honor.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.”
—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
