Biography[]
Brad Barrett was a famous motocross player, who had a knack for being competitive and did not like to lose. Unfortunately, after winning a race, Brad was framed for sabotaging the motorcycle of an opponent, with even video evidence of a person that wore his jacket committing the crime. With his career over, Brad met Charlie Feathers, a man who had the full video of the motorcycle being sabotaged, proving his innocence. Brad was forced to accept becoming Kamen Rider Thrust and defeat Wing Knight in what he believed to be "Battle Club", as Feathers said that if he won the "tournament", he would give him the video to clear his name.
Shortly after being dispatched to fight Wing Knight, Brad was witness to Drew Lansing venting Kamen Rider Camo, and Brad abandoned the fight after realizing that if one was fatally injured in battle and lost, they would disintegrate, as he wasn't told about this risk. After getting more information from other Kamen Riders, learning that Feathers was actually General Xaviax, Brad decided not to participate in the war, but Xaviax reminded him of his need to clear his name and used the risk of being vented to physically threaten Brad. In order to clear his name, Len and Brad engaged each other in battle again afterward. Kamen Rider Thrust was taken down, but Wing Knight could not vent him. Kamen Rider Thrust retreated.
In the next battle with Len, Kit Taylor and Chris Ramierz tried to get Brad to work with them against Xaviax during the time when Brad was using the Confine Vent to negate the other Vent Moves. With his pride on the line and due to being forced into working with Xaviax to clear his name, Brad refused to listen to them and continued to attack the trio until Torque activated his Final Vent attacking everyone with Brad taking the most damage of all of them, though none of them were vented. After recovering from Drew's Final Vent, Kamen Rider Thrust is sent to the Advent Void by Kamen Rider Strike's Final Vent, thusly becoming the third Kamen Rider to be vented in the series. Len then grabs Kamen Rider Thrust's Advent Deck. Strike believed that Brad would eventually come around and join Kit and Len, as Chris did, so he vented him while he was still recovering from Drew's attack. His Advent Deck is claimed by Kit and Len.
During the final battle, the Ventaran Thrust was rescued from the Advent Void and used his Link Vent to destroy Xaviax. Soon after, Eubulon rescued Brad from the Advent Void and erased his memories to return him to normal life, most likely clearing his name in the process.
Trivia[]
- Unlike his Ryuki counterpart, who was a sadistic villain, Brad was an anti-villain that just wanted to clear his name.
- He is the only Kamen Rider villain in this series that redeemed himself alongside Adam, which is surprising, since most of the Riders either died before they had the chance to or simply decided not to redeem themselves.
- He along with Torque are the Third and Fourth riders to be vented in the series (The first one was Incisors and the second one was Camo).
