It’s the face of a prize-fighter. Teeth missing, nose wonky and many of the colourful episodes in this man’s life are inked all over his body. “I won’t mind being wrinkly and coloured in,” says Wayne Brake. By his own admission he is also abrasive and
intimidating. He says he is a clinically diagnosed psychopath with an anti-social personality disorder. “There were certain situations you wouldn’t want to be around me.” All in all, a damaged man, due largely to his disorder but he’s happy to talk about all that
because “that’s the old him”. But at mention of ‘the missus’ , of breast cancer and mortality, the rough edges flake away and this roughneck weeps. Cries. “Look at me now, I can’t hold it back.” Full story page 18-19. Photo: Daniel Hines.
