Kosta Brando is a character in the Bread's Crumbs Cinematic Universe, serving as a protagonist. He is portrayed by Scott Pincus. An arms dealer, Kosta resides in his pawn shop and sells antiques to customers. When Jumpa X was sent to 2019, he stole several guns from Kosta's shop and killed him. Due to Jumpa X's early demise in 2017, the future was altered and he never killed Kosta. Kosta went on to collect more antiques for his shop. During a meeting with Vin, Banny and Bjorn Alvarez, where they discussed Corporal Crunch's death and the Doomsday Device, Bjorn betrayed the group and shot Kosta's shoulder. He survived the attempt on his life, and went on to collect numerous relics from Torture Wobbler Church - as well as the dormant body of Kaine West, which he brought to his shop to recuperate.

When Kaine awakened several months later, Kosta informed him of recent events, and helped him move away from his sadistic old ways and cope with the absence of Christine. Over time, Kaine tried bettering himself, continuing to do so after helping Kosta defeat Zebulon the Executioner. In 2020, Kosta was approached by Quinn Diesel about the prospect of resurrecting The Clan. As Quinn recruited Flynt, Kosta convinced Kick and Kaine to join the cause, with Kosta influencing Kaine to complete his generator to access The Crumbs' afterlife. Conflict brewed when Kick was revealed to be Tremzar, and Kosta struggled with Kaine's questionable choices in the ensuing chaos, feeling he was jeopardizing their mission in his quest to save Christine in Philadelphia.

During the battle over Mekron's Hammer, Kosta intervened to reason with Kaine, who was desperate to destroy The Crumbs and stop Tremzar. During the chaos, Kosta teleported Kaine to Philadelphia before returning to his pawnshop with the hammer. However, Tremzar was already waiting for him, and killed Kosta before vaporizing the hammer. All was not lost, however, as Flynt and Kaine resurrected countless beings and Kaine destroyed The Crumbs himself. Sometime after the final battle, Kaine removed his costume and left it in Kosta's pawnshop - ready to start anew with Christine.

History

Jumpa X

In the year 2019, Jumpa X met with Kosta Brando at his weapons shack to acquire firearms. He said he needed several guns, and Brando was happy to help. Jumpa X began inspecting various firearms, picking up several of them and handing them over to Brando. As Brando began stating the price of the firearms, Jumpa X loaded the KRISS Vector. Brando told Jumpa X not to do so, to which the cyborg opened fire on Brando, killing him. Afterwards, Jumpa X left with Brando's weapons and set off on his mission.

Between Films

Due to Captain Jumpa destroying Jumpa X around a year after The Clan's dissolution, Kosta Brando would never be killed by the merciless cyborg. As such, he continued to operate out of his pawnshop in Portugal.

Bread's Crumbs 4: Mass Consumption

After John Bacchus reunited The Clan, Vin, Banny Passerini and Bjorn Alvarez met with Kosta at his pawnshop in Portugal to discuss recent events. Kosta offered various items to the group, including Colonel Crunch's hat, Tea-Eee, Fake Crumbs, and an alien arm - though Vin refused his offers. Vin went on to tell Kosta how Bacchus reunited The Clan to remake The Crumbs, and they asked for updates on Corporal Crunch's death; Kosta confirmed that police haven't found any suspects, and that U.B.N.V.A. criminal Axel Gunner is on trial for war crimes.

As the group prepares to leave, Vin receives a call from Flynt, who says they found the device at Chernobyl. Baffled, Kosta asks what's going on, and learns that The Clan found a device that can contain The Crumbs' power, but it resembles a bomb. Kosta explains that the U.B.N.V.A. was after the device at one point, and would likely seek to acquire it again. At that moment, Bjorn seizes a rifle and betrays the group, demanding the device. Kosta says they don't want any trouble, to which Bjorn shoots and seemingly kills him.

Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, Kosta was shot in the shoulder, and survived Bjorn's attempt on his life.

Kaine West: No Salvation

In November - months after Bjorn's attempt and the end of The Clan - Kosta ventured to Torture Wobbler Church and collected numerous relics from the dilapidated structure. While doing so, he stumbled upon Kaine West's comatose body, which Rasputin had gunned down months earlier. Feeling obligated to, Kosta brought Kaine's inactive body back to his pawnshop, where he helped him recuperate.

In April 2018, Kaine awakened, and made his way from a woodshed into Kosta's pawnshop. After reuniting with Dave, Kosta approached Kaine, and explained recent events regarding Kaine's survival and the end of The Clan and U.B.N.V.A., which baffles Kaine. Kosta remarks that they're no longer enemies, given the end of the conflict that's been going on, and Kosta offers him to start anew after presenting him with Dave, his old vest, and his generator. After retrieving Dave, Kosta asks Kaine what he plans to do, and Kaine exclaims that he has "absolutely no idea".

Bread's Crumbs 5: Forgotten Future

Kosta is set to return in the upcoming fifth Bread's Crumbs film, with Scott Pincus reprising the role.
