Abstract
We study a local description of composite five-branes of codimension two. The formulation is constructed by virtue of monodromy associated with two-torus. Applying conjugate monodromy transformations to the complex structures of the two-torus, we obtain a field configuration of a defect five-brane. This is a composite state of defect NS5-branes and exotic -branes. We also obtain a new example of hyper-K\"{a}hler geometry. This is an ALG space, a generalization of an ALF space which asymptotically has a tri-holomorphic two-torus action. This geometry appears in the conjugate configuration of a single defect KK5-brane.
