Description
Bárton is an active person, constantly on the move and examining the stonework around him. Like all mages, he is something of an introvert, but this is not out of a lack of personality or a shyness. More over, Bárton gets carried away in his work, crafting stone, planning rooms and structures, adding artistic flourishes that will heighten the beauty of an ediface. When he's shocked out of his shell, Bárton is amiable and supportive. Bárton has little use for finery in his appearance, and rarely takes pain to keep himself presentable. He is much more of a "do-er," and dresses accordingly. He's generally working out in the "field" and his garb is appropriate for hard work.
BACKGROUND
Bárten Thesk came of age in FirstMont, a mont which had been hit hard by the great Cataclym nearly 100 years ago. During his adolescence, Bárten was exposed to the Edificiers who dwelt in FirstMont and whom had been working steadily to rebuild the city. His Clan had long been stoneworkers of the highest calibre and were important in the Mont's history. While they were saddened that their mont suffered so much damage during teh Cataclysm, they were able to parlay their standing in the community through working to repair the damage. Brought up in this environment, seeing the community and citizens all coming together to improve the everyone had a lasting effect on Bárton's psyche and it became one of his guiding principles. When he came of age and sought a profession, he found the ideals of the Edificiers of the Ôrdô-Hêrofen to be a match with his own. Granted, many still saw them with some suspicion, given the Order's reputation as being affiliated with the Red Empire's rise to power, but Bárton was not dissuaded. He applied for membership and was accepted. Bárton spent nearly five years learning the mysteries of the Ôrdô-Hêrofen and was enducted into the society of the Edificiers shortly after that. He is thus a journeyman with the society. Through ties between Clan Thesk and Clan Tôrdic, Bárton has been requested to lend his expertise in stonework and engineering to the reclamation of Founderstone. Bárton, eager to see more of the world and eager to expand his responsibilities has agreed.
PERSONALITY
Bárton is motivated to provide service to the community through his Edificier abilities. His formative years growing up amid the repair projects at FirstMont instilled within him a sense of civic responsibility that serves as the core of his belief system. This core has only been enhanced through the teachings of the Ôrdô-Hêrofen in general, and the Edificiers specifically. Bárton agrees with the value of turning the otherwise unchannelled energies of a society into something productive, beautiful, and valueable to all. In no small measure, Bárton is also interested in fulfilling the reputation of his Clan. His family has always been avidly civic-minded and master craftsmen to boot. Bárton sees his latest assignment as the perfect opportunity to do just that.
QUOTE
"It looks bad," Bárton admitted, "but the foundation is strong and uncracked. I'm sure we can rebuilt it."
