Briareos is a trained ESWAT officer, his point man is Deunan. They met in his father's SWAT unit before World War III broke out. Briareos and Deunan are lovers and have been involved since before the war. Since moving to Olympus with Deunan, they have joined the ESWAT unit (Extra Special Weapons And Tactics).

In the Japanese media, he is voiced by Yoshisada Sakaguchi in the Appleseed OVA, Jūrōta Kosugi in the Appleseed film, Kōichi Yamadera in Appleseed Ex Machina and Appleseed XIII, and Junichi Suwabe in Appleseed Alpha.
