Bruno often comes across as cold and distrusting to strangers, but his unfriendliness is simply comes from his protectiveness of the village and its inhabitants, most importantly Flora.

Pre-Game Life[]

Bruno was a close friend of Baron Reinhold. He was a skilled technician, and built Matthew to serve as the Reinhold's butler. When the baron's wife, Lady Violet, died from influenza, he built a robot replica of her for the baron and his daughter Flora. Since the baron was very distressed at how similar it was to Violet, so Bruno wiped its memory and personality clean. In its place, he created Lady Dahlia, whom the baron was happier with, but who scared Flora.

When the baron was told he was terminally ill, he had Bruno build St. Mystere and all its residents so that Flora would have a safe environment surrounding her. Bruno took over Flora's care after the baron's death. He also kept the robots of St. Mystere in good working order and performed maintenance on them, which became more frequent as the robots aged.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village[]

During their first night in St. Mystere, Professor Layton and Luke witnessed Bruno shoving an unconscious Ramon into a bag at the market. They attempted to chase him down but Bruno managed to outrun them and make it back to the tower. Later on the next day, after falling through the floor in the tower, the two met Bruno again in his workshop. He revealed himself to be a close friend of the late baron who repairs the villagers when they malfunction Layton and Luke agreed that Bruno had been the one who'd stolen the hand crank for St. Mystere's drawbridge so they'd have no choice but to stay and solve the mystery themselves.

After the events of the night, with Layton and Luke discovering Flora in the tower, Bruno remained in St. Mystere once Flora left, continuing his work of maintaining the villagers as usual.
