Narrative:

I was the only one on flight deck. First officer was asleep, captain was in restroom. Received TA for traffic at 12000 ft, 500 ft below and climbing. Less than 5 seconds later, received RA. RA called for a 1500-2000 FPM climb. Climb commands were followed. Altitude gain was 1000 ft. Upon query about traffic to brasilia center, they only said no factor to traffic on a different airway to the east of us. Problem was, the other airway was converging upon brs as was our airway. When I advised ATC we deviated from our altitude due to a TCASII warning, they only said roger. The radial off of brs was the 165 degree radial.
