Bars
Astin Bargold, better known as Bars, was a man of quiet determination and unassuming purpose. As a skilled clerk, he found solace in the order and precision of letters and numbers, excelling in organizing finances and records. Without family or close attachments, Bars lived a modest life, moving between businesses and households where his talents were highly valued.
However, his sharp mind and dedication ultimately led him into peril. While working for a prominent company, Bars uncovered a financial discrepancy—evidence of a crime that threatened to implicate powerful individuals. Before he could report his findings, his adversaries acted swiftly, discrediting him and tarnishing his reputation. Branded as a criminal and betrayed by the very system he had trusted, Bars was condemned to indentured servitude and sold to a life of hardship.
His fate took a dramatic turn aboard a ship bound for the Vircunean continent. Despairing but not broken, Bars was caught in the upheaval when Margory Felloy staged a daring revolt. In the chaos of her liberation of the slaves and indentured servants aboard, Bars saw a glimmer of hope—a chance to begin again.
Upon their arrival in Cruentum, Bars struggled to find his place amidst the newfound freedom. It wasn’t until he noticed Margory’s hesitation in managing the sale of the stolen ship and its treasures that he recognized where he could make himself indispensable. With his gift for numbers and negotiation, Bars stepped forward, helping Margory navigate the complex dealings of selling their spoils. His meticulous attention to detail and calm demeanor proved invaluable, laying the groundwork for Margory’s future ventures.
Impressed by his resourcefulness, Margory offered Bars a position aboard the Crimson Outcast. As Quartermaster, he took charge of the ship’s resources, finances, and logistics, ensuring that every aspect of their missions was meticulously planned and executed. His steady hand and keen intellect became the backbone of the crew, earning the trust and respect of his shipmates.
Astin Bargold’s transformation from a disgraced clerk to the indispensable Quartermaster of the Crimson Outcast is a testament to his resilience and determination. Though he remains a quiet and unassuming figure, Bars’ loyalty, precision, and unshakable sense of purpose have made him essential to the success of Margory’s crusade. In the ever-shifting tides of the Glass Sea, Bars stands as a symbol of quiet strength, a man who found redemption and meaning in the bonds of freedom and camaraderie.
