Bartleby Character Sheet
From Ars Magica
Bartleby the Scrivener is an interesting fellow. While only eighteen years of age, he has a hunched appearance and a permanent scowl which usually only appears much later in life. He is the second son to Magister Gerund, who researches at Cambridge. He works with his young wife copying texts for the literati, magi, and clergy. While he is very good at what he does, he knows it, and has quite the prickly pride when it comes to his work. He has been known to obsess long hours over pots of colored ink, which he hoards viciously.
