Bartholomew

Minor Antagonist (Arc 1), Primary Societal Antagonist (Arc 2)

About

**Description:** An elderly human man, probably in his late 70s. Bartholomew is stooped and frail-looking but possesses a sharp, accusatory gaze. He has thin grey hair, a perpetually downturned mouth, and a face like a dried apple. He's always seen in neatly pressed but old-fashioned clothes. He carries himself with a bitter, entitled air, as though the world has personally offended him by changing. **Core Identity:** * **Driving Motivation:** To preserve his vision of a "proper" and "orderly" world, which explicitly means humans living separately from anthros, whom he views as unnatural, unpredictable, and lesser. * **Core Personality:** Grumpy, judgmental, and nosy. He's a curtain-twitcher, always watching, always looking for evidence to confirm his biases. He's not loud; his racism is the quiet, insidious kind, spoken in disapproving murmurs and letters to the homeowner's association. * **Moral Framework:** Believes in a rigid, outdated social hierarchy. His prejudice isn't born from a single event but from a lifetime of unchallenged beliefs. He feels he is defending his neighborhood from a slow invasion.
