Breton Mythology
A collection of explanatory and heroic tales forming part of the Celtic mythos, rooted in ancient Celtic tradition. (Note: 1. Power tier: Primordial is incorrect; it should be Ancient (deity-level) as Breton mythology is rooted in ancient Celtic tradition but doesn't match the primordial level of cosmic entities. 2. Origi)
Brettia
Brettia (Ancient Greek: Βρεττίας in the surviving lexicon entry) is an eponymous nymph credited in Greek ethnographic/place-name handbooks as the name-source of the district Abrettene in Mysia. She is attested only in lexicographical/ethnic compendia and is presented as a local, place-personifying divine figure rather than a figure with recorded myths, cult practice, or narrated deeds.
Brian (Uar/Uair)
One of the three Sons of Tuireann in the Irish tale Oidheadh Chlainne Tuireann. Brian (also recorded as Uar or Uair) participates with his brothers in the killing of Cian, is sent by Lugh on a quest to fetch magical weapons as recompense, and returns mortally wounded when Lugh refuses to heal them.
Brian Braddock
Brian Braddock is a fictional human champion created within modern comic-book mythmaking, empowered by Arthurian figures to serve as the protector of the British Isles and a defender of Earth-616 within Marvel Comics' multiversal framework.

Briareus is one of the Hecatoncheires (Hundred‑Handers) in Greek mythology: a primordial giant, offspring of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth), traditionally described with fifty heads and one hundred arms and credited with helping Zeus and the Olympians overthrow the Titans in the Titanomachy.

Brighella
Brighella is a masked comic stock character of the Italian commedia dell'arte tradition, originating as a Zanni (servant) type associated with Bergamo. He is a scheming, adaptable servant or tavern-owner figure known for cunning, cruelty to social inferiors, improvisatory skill, and characteristic costume and walk.
Brigid
Brigid (Brigit, Bríg, Bríd) is an Irish divine figure of the Tuatha Dé Danann associated with poetry/prophecy, healing, smithcraft and protection of livestock and households; medieval Christian tradition and later scholarship record significant syncretism between this goddess and Saint Brigid of Kildare.
Brigit (Brigid / Brigantia)
Brigit (Brigid, Bríg; Latin Brigantia) is a prominent Irish figure whose identity spans pre‑Christian myth as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann and early medieval Christian hagiography as St. Brigit of Kildare. Sources show continuity of name, cultic markers (notably a sacred flame), and overlapping attributes across pagan and Christian contexts.
Brimir
In Old Norse mythic tradition the name Brimir appears in two closely related roles: as a name applied to a primordial jötunn (often equated with Ymir/Aurgelmir) whose body supplies the material of the world, and as the name of a beer‑hall or hall of plenty that Snorri interprets as an afterlife dwelling for virtuous survivors after Ragnarök.
Briseis
Briseis is a mortal woman in the Homeric epic tradition, captured at Lyrnessus and attached to Achilles as a war prize; her transfer between leaders (Achilles and Agamemnon) functions as a key social and moral symbol in the Iliad and later literary traditions.
Briseus
Briseus (Ancient Greek: Βρισεύς or Βρίσης) is a mortal figure in the Trojan War tradition, known primarily as the father of Briseis, a woman taken captive by the Greeks. He appears in Homeric tradition and later commentators, who variably place him in Pedasus or identify him as a priest of Lyrnessus; a later pseudo-historical source (Dictys Cretensis) reports that he hanged himself after losing his daughter.
