Description: He is a husky man, who prefers to wear flannel. His silver hair is cut jaggedly and amateurishly. His hazel eyes are passionate and lively.

Personality: While he acts the brute, he is far gentler than he would appear.

Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Bertram is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He got into the Shoemaker business at a young age. He sought a place where he would be rewarded solely on the merits of his skills. This search led him directly into Shoemaker work with an outfit from a few towns over. Shoemaker work suited him well, and with each successful project, he earned more gold and more respect from his peers. After a long history of fighting, Bertram and his spouse have recently divorced.
