Bartholomew

Bartholomew is a General in Seifuku's Army.

Appearance
Bartholomew is ten feet tall, a large man with a giant pole-axe.

Personality
Bartholomew is level-headed, and unlike many other Hollow gangs treats his subordinates with respect. His presence is what prevents his gang (now an Army) from devolving into a cannibalistic battle royale as so many Hollow groups have ended up.

Plot
Bartholomew was one of the most powerful Gang leaders in Hueco Mundo, known for his great sense of honor (for a Hollow), and his expertise in commanding his troops on the battlefield. However, because of all his rivals, Bartholomew had trouble moving beyond the perpetual gang stalemate of Hueco Mundo until he met Smiley. Smiley struck a deal with Bartholomew: he would lead Bartholomew and his gang to the Source, giving them the edge they needed, and in return Bartholomew would pledge allegiance to Seifuku.

Bartholomew agreed, and they obtained two parts of the Source, though they encountered the Order of the Pure and their allies in the Human World. Fleeing to Hueco Mundo, they met Seifuku in his Lair, where Bartholomew pledged his loyalty to Seifuku. Seifuku revealed that he had the third part of the Source, and Bartholomew and his Army were given upgrades, after which he was order to lead his Army to Karakura to deal with the Order. Aware that this was a test, Bartholomew obliged, initially taking the Order off guard with his ambush tactics but quickly losing the upper hand after Valentino unsealed his Hollow side.

Bartholomew performed his Resurrecion and attacked Valentino along with his squad, though the advantage of numbers led to naught as he was easily killed. Seifuku revealed he never intended Bartholomew to be a General, however, and kidnapped Bartholomew's murderer, taking Valentino back to one of his lairs.

Resurrecion
Resurrecion Name: Oso - Oso takes the form of a six-foot long pole-axe, with the double-headed blade of the axe as large as the body of a normal-sized Human.

Resurrecion: Triggered by the command "Bash, Oso!" Bartholomew transforms into a giant (20 foot tall) grizzly bear with silver fur. The pole-axe disappears.
 * In this form Bartholomew's already immense strength is enhanced to ridiculous levels, and his teeth and claws gain great crushing force.
 * Fur Spikes: Bartholomew's fur can sharpen and be fired off as spikes, similar to a sword in penetrative and cutting properties.
