Bertol could be described in one way, cunning. He is the kind of person who would prefer knowing less than knowing more, but more often than usual, his ears would've caught up plots & plys from miles away. He calls himself 'treasure hunter'. He was usually brash in his way of talking, but traces of his refined manners as a former noble still remain despite the years as a mercenary. He hates his own family, and had disagreements with them over countless occasions. And he had known that his father had only favoured him due to his Earth Magic, to gain recognition amongst the high society. He detests being controlled , and aspires to be the one with the most freedom in the sea. He loves gambling by playing dice.

[center][b][u]History[/u][/b][/center]
Bertol was born in a noble house of Laxen. Born from bastardy, he was less regarded as a child. He was known to be the troublemaker of his family, and is usually the one behind the thievings of his half-brothers' food. He had learnt magic from books that he 'borrowed' from his siblings. His talent of Earth Magic have greatly impressed his father, who hired tutors for him to hone his magic to his mastery. It carried on till he was 16, when he took advantage of his father's favour and stole a good portion of the house's treasury. Running away from home, he fled to the coasts and set out his new life as a mercenary. His further actions have him dubbed as the 'Thief of the Ravens'. Ravens are the shape of his family crest, and he've also broken into other nobles' treasury.

But he realised that his Earth Magic doesn't work well in high waters. That was until he found a Materia amongst his family inheritance that allows him to cast Earth Magic on the sea, albeit with less power. From there, he've made his name as a treasure hunter from unsuspecting pirates.

[b][u]Weapons[/u][/b]
[list]
[*]Moon Materia- A perculiar Materia that allows him to use Earth Magic over the waters. Strangely for a Materia, it does not ease the usage of magic.
[*]Wooden Staff- Bertol carries a Wooden Staff for close quarters combat.

[b][u]Magic[/u][/b]
Earth Magic - Bertol mainly casts magic by churning out fists of rocks, that pummels opponents. At sea, he uses it with a Materia that allows him to use that sort of magic over deep waters.

[u][b]Others:[/b][/u] Including his own family crest, Bertol have insignias from a number of Noble Houses, and he is able to forge letters from them if he wanted to. He doesn't have the Royal Insignia, which he finds too risky to 'borrow' or even use.
