Bartholomew Twiddlesitch

Background
Bartholomew Twiddlesitch was a gambling lowlife who often found himself in danger. He appeared numerous times before his final appearance in Little Creek.

Vernion City
He was first encountered in Vernion City when Bubbles, Bullvye and Medusa fought with Avius. During the melee some wall brickwork collapsed revealing Bartholomew who had been trapped inside saving his life. His encasement into the wall was never explained, but was guessed to be some form of punishment from a local loan shark. Being freed, he offered to help the party but was refused and left to fend for himself.

Vernion City
When Bubbles, Medusa, Bullvye and Alucard returned to Vernion City to search for the Azmodian Star there was evidence Bartholomew had spent some time living in the same area he was first discovered, before finally leaving or being driven off.

The Court Case
During the Court Case Bartholomew was brought to the witness stand to testify. He had been visibly tortured and reluctantly gave evidence against Bullvye, Krixus, Bubbles, Medusa and Alucard based on what he had seen originally at Vernion City.

Little Creek
During the events at Little Creek, Bartholomew appeared in the town opening an escape portal for the group to use. Only Bullvye recognized him, and questioned Bart as to his presence in Little Creek. Bart warmly replied he was finally "Returning the favor". Bubbles refused to believe that Twiddlesitch was helping, and struck him down. This is the last time anyone seen them alive as the portal closed immediately, leaving Bubbles and Bartholomew trapped in Little Creek.

Death
It was revealed after escaping Little Creek that Bartholomew had undergone a horrific self sacrifice to open a portal to help Bullvye and his companions. Drawing help from the Mother, Maiden and Crone he enacted the four steps of the Suit Sacrifice by nailing his hands and feet to form an X, he then had his face peeled off, followed by his rib cage being split open wide before killing blows of having Ram's horns driven into his skulll.

This opened a portal to the realm where Little Creek, where he would remain in spirit allowing the others to return to Malifaux.
