Bruce Norris, born Aled Thomas, is a cherub with a significant ruthless streak in him. His mother sadly died hours after his birth from blood poisoning, and his father was killed in a building site accident while Bruce was still a toddler. Bruce joined CHERUB in 1998.
Bruce has dark hair and eyes and a slight build. Despite this, Bruce is extremely strong and has excellent stamina. He prefers martial arts to the exclusion of all other physical activities. This is proved by his various martial art trophies.
Bruce is extremely talented, although some find his obsession with nunchukas and shurikens disturbing. Although he is not accademically gifted by CHERUB standards, Bruce's extraordinary language skills attest to his intelligence.
Bruce's hobbies include watching Bruce Lee and Japanese movies, although he hates Jackie Chan movies. He also likes causing mayhem and violence, which is why he hates being called a baby. He also hates people making digs at him for owning a blue teddy named Jeremy.
Bruce has recently started dating Kerry. Unfortunately, he has not yet found out that James and Kerry had a little secret snog.
One of his lifelong dreams is to get some business cards sporting the slogan "Bruce Norris kicked your arse".
