Lord **Bartholomew Fresh** is a Stormwind nobleman who rules over the County of Bogwater. He is a knight and chapter master of his own familial order of Knighthood, the Order of Freshness.

Lord Bartholomew was born unknowing of his noble pedigree, due this his father, James Fresh, being the eldest heir of the late Count Montgomery Fresh, yet being unfavored by him. He spent his entire childhood and adult life surviving in the Swamp of Sorrows. Where he needed to contend with the harsh life in the bog to survive. He has a storied history as a survivalist, and a lover of nature. Upon inheriting Bogwater from his grandfather following his death at the ripe old age of 126, Bartholomew is now dedicating Bogwater to the preservation of the Marshlands, not finding any real value in personal land ownership.

## Personality & Beliefs

Bartholomew is a very kind individual, finding the most valuable things in his life being his comuntiy, and the preservation of the Swamp of Sorrows and it's ecosystem, that many overlook as dingy and unattractive.

Having not grown up in the life of noble pedigree, he generally takes no stock in his especial privlige. However he does still execute his duty as a steward diligently, already being a community leader in Bogwater that many swampfolk enjoyed.

## Description

Bartholomew has rugged leathery skin, and is of average size and slightly lanky stature. He keeps a perfectly maintained mustache, and takes great pride in the shaves he can take with a hunting knife.

## Biography

Lord Fresh was born to an all but in official paperwork disinherited noble family, and was raised as a commoner in Bogwater. Many of the fellow residents of the County hardly shamed the put out noble family, as they were the only representatives of the Fresh family that actually resided in Bogwater. Because of the respect they got to their commitment to the community, they agreed to keep the dramatics of the family situation to themselves, to spare Bartholomew a complicated childhood.

Bartholomew grew under the tutalidge of Goober Pyle, a Crocolisk hunter and leather worker. Under Goober Bartholomew learned many tricks to the trade of wildlife hunting, and preservation. The loss of Goober due to him being trapped under a fallen tree limb, and then maimed by a Crocolisk, stays with Bartholomew to the present day.

Upon taking hold of the County of Bogwater, Bartholomew has ruled as an unassuming noble. To this day he has had no presnece in the House of Nobles, however his name has begun to grow in infamy following a new feudal model he has adopted, wherein he sells small plots of land in order to bestow titles of Knighthood and Nobility in an attempt to preserve Bogwater, a county that is mostly uninhabitable.
