Shrek Forever After[]
Brogan meets Shrek.
In the alternate universe where ogres were being wanted and captured for slavery at the castle of Far Far Away now ruled over by Rumpelstiltskin, Brogan alongside the other ogres were preparing their weapons for the battle against Rumpelstiltskin and to save Far Far Away. But when Shrek arrived after following Donkey through the Waffle-Hole and was surprised seeing many more ogres like the ones that were held prisoner at the castle, Gretched teased Shrek to be a tiny newcomer that was all dressed up, while Brogan believed that fate has delivered them comrade-in-arms, and for that they were thankful before ordering the other ogres to suit him up and was the one who welcomed Shrek into the resistance as they fight for freedom and ogres everywhere before blowing sounds from their noses, as Shrek didn't know it was possible that ogres could do such thing despite knowing the ogre rule himself.

When Brogan saw Shrek and Cookie fighting over Donkey, as Cookie attempted to cook him after he fell into the waffle hole, Shrek refused to let him do that, as he stated that his dinner was his friend, while Brogan attempts to break it all off. Then Fiona arrived as Shrek tried to embrace her with joy, but she kicked him away, because she doesn't know who he is in this timeline. Fiona then told Brogan that she has news from Far Far Away and asked him to have everyone meet her at the war room, which he agreed to. He then becomes confused when Shrek tries to tell Fiona that they are married, and even tells her at the birthday party, there were villagers who wanted Shrek to sign their pitchfork and a boy named Butter-Pants told him to do the roar, that Shrek punched the cake the pigs ate and doesn't remember until Donkey fell into the waffle-hole. Wordless, Brogan alongside everyone else found it hilarious, until witches were approaching in the air, so the ogres begin to hide their camps and themselves. This was the third patrol of hiding, but Fiona tells Brogan after tonight, they won't have to.

At the war room, Brogan attended the meeting with Fiona and his fellow ogres, learning that Stiltskin is leading an ogre hunt tonight by himself. Brogan said that if that cupcake eating finally leaves the safety of his witch filled nest, he'd be venerable. Fiona said the plan that they will lead an ambush tonight waiting for Rumpel's caravan and once Fiona will give the signal, the ogres will attack the witches and then take care of Rumpel. Cookie thought about bringing his chimichanga stand with him, cause he'd know everyone's gonna be hungry after the ambush. Then Fiona finished her little speech, and as long as Rumpelstiltskin is gone, Far Far Away will finally be free and they will spread the word and leave soon as Rumpel leaves the palace himself. While having dinner with the ogres, Brogan was impressed with Donkey's jokes and could see why Shrek hasn't eaten him and because he was really his friend.
Brogan forced dancing by the Pied Piper.
Brogan was among the other ogres sharping their weapons as they are about to get ready for the ambush tonight, and once they moved on in the forest, Fiona tells everyone to wait for her signal while the ogres secured their possessions and hide for Rumpel's caravan. But when the carriage was moving with witches flying beside it, Fiona was talking to Shrek who attempts to make her understand who he really is and that he knows about her curse, but not the other ogres and she didn't give the ogres the signal about attacking Rumpel and the witches, so Brogan gives it instead and they ambushed Rumpel's carriage, only to see it empty, and his pet goose, Fifi was actually Pied Piper in a disguise who begin to play on his flute and forced the ogres to dance, much to Brogan's uncomfortableness as he begged it to stop and couldn't control himself. When Shrek and Fiona were rescued by Donkey and Puss, the ogres have been danced all the way to the palace and put in cages. Brogan told his fellow ogres not to despair and that the witches can put them in cages, but they can't cage their honor.
