In all honesty (to me) Brian actually is a hero, he was the only one who would face up to Helen and Marc, Marc has admitted that he antagonized Brian, and from what i've seen Helen has done nothing but bait, goad and antagonize Brian. There's only so much a person can take
The others are so scared of Helen, that Brian probably had to deal with all of them coming to him with their fears and worries, and then he probably felt he had to do something to protect them.
I'm a bit like that if i see nastiness, unfairness or bullying then i feel that it's up to me to stick up for that person, especially if that person can't deal with the situation.
He's a natural protector.
