## Biography

If you’re one of Mouses Fiennes' thugs, chances are you’ll have come across Bartholomew Clarence Favell a couple of times. This drunken thug, though imbecilic, is very friendly and warm-hearted. His story explains it all...

On a cold September night, Heather Favell gave birth to Bartholomew (who was born after his twin brother Maurice), and died shortly after due to complications. Bartholomew and Maurice were then taken in by their father, Mouses Fiennes, and transported to his hideout in London, where they were raised throughout their childhood.

Bartholomew, in his youth, was quite fond of alcohol, that has shown significantly in his adulthood. When he was a child, Bartholomew would even drink six pints of the strongest beer whenever he was thirsty! However, despite his usually-inebriated state, Bartholomew made good friends with the thugs who worked for Mouses, and he was very close with his twin brother Maurice. Bartholomew, however, was not an easily-corruptible fellow, and when his brother Maurice was turned evil by Mouses at a tween age, Bartholomew remained good, kind, and stout-hearted throughout his life.

Years later, Bartholomew and “Manchester” Maurice had a new addition to their circle: a young rat named Ratigan, who had been adopted by Mouses just days before they first met. The Favell twins were forced to watch over Ratigan as he grew up. Although Bartholomew had never before taken care of a child, he learned rather quickly, and soon, he was taking care of Ratigan like a superb big brother, playing games with him, telling him stories, and feeding him.

And as Ratigan grew up into a strong teenager, Bartholomew was proud of the fine boy he had helped Mouses raise. (Although Bartholomew eventually became distressed when he found out about Mouses’ plans for the young rat.) But unfortunately for him, he had an accident in the midst of Ratigan's song, calling him a rat by accident caused by his drunkenness, and therefore, he was kicked out and fed to Ratigan's cat Felicia while the Goodie Gang, Bill the Lizard, Snakes Henshaw, and Red Robertson watched in horror, and were then forced to finish the song.

After the battle, the Goodie Gang mourned Bartholomew and remembered him as a great friend and member of their group, always.
