### History and Backstory:

Created out of a need to further promote their business, Arten Chambers and the Kegtinker twins came together to build what they considered a mobile marketing platform. Barten IV is a prototype BaristaBot, created to brew samples of Moon Dollars Bistro's delicious drinks and share them with the world. After being brought to sentience by the Kegtinkers Barten was taught how to brew drinks by Bramathan Mugman, a Dwarven brewmaster who until recently had only brewed ale. Taught how to talk to people and be an entertainer by the goblin Handsy Grubber helped Barten learn how to be a salesperson and make sure that everyone would want to visit a Moon Dollars Bistro after meeting him.

Taking things very slowly Barten worked at the counter of Moon Dollars Bistro for a few weeks before being put out front to act as a host and mobile billboard. Seeing people taking a liking to the bot Arten decided to have Barten take small solo trips around the town with flyers to bring more business to the bistro. As Barten learned to interact with people better business grew at a small, but steady pace. Handsy Grubber realized that is Moon Dollars were to really become a name on the lips of everyone then Barten would have to travel all across Guaso to spread the work.

Getting in touch with the Firebreathing Kittens Baretn was loaned out to offer assistance to the guild in return for taking the plucky bot along with them on adventures. Seeing it as the best way to get the Moon Dollars name out in to the world.
