Batholomoo is but a simple, honest, hard-working minotaur from the farm fields south of Bythovia. He is a proud member of the Shieldslinger clan, time honored defenders from the island of Anoxagoras of the Empire. The Shieldslingers earned their name in battle by the way their shields would linger, no matter the price, until the day was won. Many a battle of long ago would not have been won were it not for the steadfast defenders of the Shieldslinger clan. At birth, Bartholomoo was the talk of the clan, due to his unique shimmering maze-like birthmark. Because of this, some believe him to be the chosen one, a great warrior of the clan prophesized to bring a new meaning to the Shieldslinger name. Bartholomoo has tamed his inner beast through devotion to the philisophical and religious practices of The Path of Light, of which he is a devoted cleric.
