Bartholomew was a prodigy of the antique, who had friends in high places who claimed he was a "man without guile", which as we later learned could not have been further away from the truth. He learned very early on to write (always the same) and was almost considered to be the pro skater of the early days. At one point in his life he annoyed everyone so much with his talking that they decided it was better to.. explain to him that no means no.
