Bartleby Flintlock
Bartleby Flintlock
Mine Overseer and Gem Appraiser
Appearance: Bartleby is a portly man with a ruddy complexion, bushy eyebrows, and a meticulously groomed salt-and-pepper mustache. His attire is always immaculate, favoring tailored waistcoats and polished boots that gleam with a sheen rivaling the gemstones he appraises. He carries a pocket watch of dwarven make, a symbol of his status in Emberdeep.
Background: Born into a family of miners, Bartleby climbed the ranks from a humble laborer to a respected overseer of the largest mine in oakhurst. His keen eye for gemstones and savvy business acumen have made him one of the wealthier citizens in town. He is known for his sharp wit, booming laugh, and shrewd negotiations, which have earned him both allies and rivals among the town's elite.
Personality: Bartleby is affable and charming, with a penchant for storytelling and a love of fine whiskey. He prides himself on his honesty and integrity, although his ambition has occasionally led him to make morally dubious decisions. Despite his wealth, he remains approachable, often seen mingling with miners and sharing tales of his younger days in the tunnels.
Recent Incident: Bartleby recently suffered a blow to his pride when a valuable item—a rare and intricately carved gemstone statuette of a Pheonix , which he considered a lucky charm—was stolen from his private collection. The statuette, rumored to have magical properties, was the centerpiece of his office and a symbol of his hard-earned success. The theft has left Bartleby both furious and embarrassed, and he is offering a generous reward to anyone who can recover the stolen item and bring the thief to justice.
