Brian LeFevre

Brian LeFevre, Sr. is an unseen character who plays a major role in "Frank's Back in Business" and had his identity stolen by Dennis Reynolds. He is the inadvertent namesake for Brian Jr.

History
Brian LeFevre was a Quebecois businessman and major shareholder in Atwater Capital who came to Philadelphia to meet with representatives of the Wheeler Group to see about selling them his stock to help facilitate their takeover of Atwater. While there, he made the fatal mistake of going to Paddy's in hopes of colluding with Frank, the company's founder.

Frank was not there, and the total incompetence of Mac and Charlie resulted in: A) Brian being forced to urinate in the outside alley due to Charlie mopping the men's room; B) Mac refusing to let him back into the bar, as Brian had left his wallet on the bar counter and had no ID (despite Mac letting in numerous minors with fake or no IDs over the years), and finally C) Brian being mugged for said wallet by a crackhead, and, having no money, dying a slow, painful death when the mugger repeatedly stabbed him in the abdomen and left him to bleed out in the alley.

The Gang, oblivious to all of this, employs their 24-hour "Lost and Found" rule to lay claim to the contents of Brian's wallet, including luxury tickets for a Phillies game. When the Wheeler representatives show up at the box, assuming Dennis is Brian and Dee is his wife Prudence, Dennis takes the opportunity to assume Brian's identity so he can enjoy the many perks the Wheeler execs throw his and Dee's way to get "Brian's" support (including "happy ending" massages and a round of golf with a young male Asian caddy Dennis briefly mistakes for a prostitute he was seemingly prepared to bang), and more importantly, to "Get off" by "wearing another man's skin."

Ultimately, the deception is revealed at Frank's address to the Atwater stockholders, with Mac and Charlie explaining the truth (and showing Brian's finger, which Charlie had severed and taken due to misunderstanding Mac's request for a fingerprint for "fingertip"). In the end, the Wheeler Group does not get LeFevre's shares or Atwater, which Frank sold to the Japanese. Dennis, meanwhile, claims to have successfully "Got off," though Dee has no idea how he did this.

In "Dennis' Double Life," Dennis reveals that he continued to use Brian's name as an alias after disembarking in North Dakota from The Gang's cross-country drinking flight from "The Gang Beats Boggs," where he slept with and unknowingly impregnated a woman named Mandy. Mandy then named their son Brian Jr., and continues to think Dennis is Brian and Dee is Prudence (though she believes Prudence to be Brian's sister, not his wife as the original Brian's was). It is unclear if Mandy has ever learned Dennis is not in fact Brian LeFevre, and altered Brian Jr.'s name accordingly.
