# Bradley — The Land That Time Forgot character guide > Bradley in The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs. **Role:** supporting **Also known as:** Lieutenant Bradley, Brad, Galu Bradley **First appearance:** 0001-i ## Snapshot A lieutenant of the stranded company whose fists are his first answer to any problem, and whose long captivity among the Wieroos tests whether that is enough. ## Who they are Bradley is the kind of Englishman who would rather die swinging than vanish into the unknown, and Caspak offers him plenty of both. Captured and thrown into the Blue Place of Seven Skulls, he survives a raving, half-eaten wretch who whispers of a way out and then dies at his feet. His ordeal turns the story's middle from exploration into endurance, and his eventual rise among the Wieroos makes him a strange mirror of the world he came to conquer. ## Relationships ### [Co-tan](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/co_tan) _romantic_ Bradley and Co-tan share a deep romantic bond, with Co-tan being a native woman who becomes his lover and ally. ### [Luata](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/luata) _friendship_ Bradley and Luata are allies, with Luata often assisting Bradley in navigating the dangers of the lost land. ### [Thomas Billings](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/thomas_billings) _friendship_ Bradley and Thomas Billings are fellow explorers and friends, working together to survive and understand the strange land. ### [An-tak](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/an_tak) _rivalry_ An-tak is a hostile native who frequently clashes with Bradley, representing a physical and cultural threat. ### [Ajor](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/ajor) _friendship_ Ajor and Bradley are allies and friends, with Ajor often aiding Bradley despite her primary bond with Billings. ### [Ace](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/ace) _friendship_ Ace and Bradley are loyal companions, with Ace being a dog who faithfully follows and protects Bradley. ### [Olson](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/olson) _friendship_ Bradley and Olson are shipmates and friends, working together on the submarine and in the wild. ### [Galu](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/galu) _rivalry_ Bradley and Galu are initially adversaries, with Galu being a hostile native chief who opposes the outsiders. ### [Sinclair](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/sinclair) _friendship_ Bradley and Sinclair are crewmates and allies, sharing the challenges of survival in the prehistoric land. ### [Jimmy Hollis](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/jimmy_hollis) _friendship_ Bradley and Jimmy Hollis are shipmates and friends, relying on each other during their time in the lost land. ### [Co-tan](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/co_tan) _romantic_ Bradley and Co-tan share a deep romantic bond, with Co-tan being a native woman who becomes his lover and ally. ### [Luata](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/luata) _friendship_ Bradley and Luata are allies, with Luata often assisting Bradley in navigating the dangers of the lost land. ## In the story ### [Part I: The Land That Time Forgot](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/part-i-the-land-that-time-forgot) Lieutenant who assists in the capture of the U-boat. ### [II](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/ii) Mate of the tug, assists in the capture and planning. ### [III](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/iii) Lieutenant;
