Declan Griffin, better known as the Brick or simply Brick, is a character featured in Cyberpunk 2077.

Biography

Brick was the leader of the Maelstrom gang in Night City. He made a deal with Dexter DeShawn, who purchased a bot from the gang. Brick was deposed by a fellow Maelstrom ganger named Royce, who took over as leader of the gang. Everyone was told Brick had died after Royce took charge. Under Royce, the gang also refused to work with Dex. However, Brick was still alive and imprisoned in the All Foods Plant.

When trying to purchase the bot from Maelstrom, if a fight breaks out with V and the gang, V can stumble across Brick in his cell. They have the option to free, kill, or leave him to rot.

If Brick is freed during The Pickup:

In order to save Brick in The Pickup, the detonator device on the table next to his cell door needs to be deactivated. Then, a laptop in the same room needs to be opened, which contains a message "only you guys know". This contains the code to Brick's cell door: "9691". If Brick is freed he will thank Jackie and V and promise to return the favour some time. He tells them to leave and that he can manage to escape by himself. Brick can be encountered later at the Totentanz if he is freed by V. Even if Royce was not killed during The Pickup, Brick will have retaken control of Maelstrom, much to the chagrin of his fellow Maelstromers. He is speaking to Bes Isis and will thank V for freeing him earlier. Brick will allow them to leave peacefully with Bes.

If Brick is not freed or killed duringThe Pickup:

Although Brick cannot be directly attacked in his cell, he can be killed either by activating the detonator outside his cell or by triggering the trap manually once inside the cell (cell door code is "9691"). His body can then be looted for €$5,000. If Royce is also killed during The Pickup, it will then be Ofelia Sirawian leading Maelstrom in the Totentanz later on. Unless The Pickup was played using the peaceful path, either Maelstrom leader (Ofelia or Royce) will order V to be attacked in the Totentanz.

Notes

• According to Herold Lowe, Brick used to own Order.
• Helping Brick to regain leadership of Maelstrom by freeing and not killing him during The Pickup is one of two ways to unlock the Maelstrom Weapons Vendor.

Trivia

• Regardless of Brick's fate, he will have a signed niche with an epitaph in the Columbarium, claiming that he had more friends than enemies.
