Historical Chronicles
Bartholomew Quill is a man whose features were carved by years of quiet observation and the occasional precise application of force. He spent his career professionally removing inconvenient obstacles from history, but retired to Bridlington’s Old Town to actively avoid ‘the wrong things’. Barty acts with terrifying efficiency, treating elaborate magic as simple, solvable, logistical errors. He is a master of subverting high-stakes conflicts using mundane instruments, such as weed-killer, book trolleys, or a standard black umbrella. His pursuit of Skitter after the theft of his sacred teapot is born not out of high-minded ideals, but pure, indignant exasperation.
