The title of a king.
A term of genuine admiration for someone whose brotherly energy and loyalty make them the unofficial leader and cornerstone of their social circle. The brotherman king is the one people call first when things go wrong, the one who throws the party everyone shows up to, the one who mediates beef without taking sides and somehow keeps the peace. They don't hold the title over anyone — they just inhabit it naturally, and everyone around them knows who to look to. Part elder, part hype man, all solid.
