Bartholomew

Bartholomew was the first Lycanthrope, and was given command of a group of Lycanthropes to hunt down Vampires and prevent their dangerously increasing numbers.

History
Bartholomew was stolen from his family when he was a newborn, along with dozens of other babies. They were then subjected to numberous magical and mystical expeniments, designed to transform them into the creatures the demons needed. By the time Bartholomew had reached his 40's he was a trained killer, an incredibly dangerous being, and soon after he at long last became the creature they wanted him to become.

Several years later, Bartholomew was given command of a small brigade of Lycanthrope's, and sent away to kill Crisis, as it was believed that killing him would kill all subsequent Vampires.

Powers and Abilities
Bartholomew possesses all of the typical powers of a Lycanthrope, whilst in human form, he possesses superior physical strength, speed and agility, as well as having all five of his senses enhanced. Whilst in his demonic form, Bartholomew's senses are strong enough to track someone across an entire planet, and sometimes between dimensional rifts. His physical strength, speed and agility are all increased as well, making him five times more powerful than any Vampire.

As a Lycanthrope, Barthoolomew's blood is naturally poisonous to Vampires, and it is one of the few ways of killing a Vampire without reducing the body to ash. Also due to his advanced age, Bartholomew is much more powerful than others of his kind. In his demon form he possesses teeth and claws, sharp enough to tear through thick metals.

Weaknesses
Bartholomew suffers from all of the typical weaknesses of other Lycanthropes, silver is the only sure fire way of killing him. In addition his Lycanthrope anger and aggression, has been shown to be a tremendous weakness, that he has always seemed willing to give in to.

Appearance
In his human form, Bartholomew appears as a middle aged well built man. He is scruffy and unshaven, he has short black hair and crimson red eyes. He wears vagrants clothing, warm but flexible. In his demon form he stands at 12 ft tall, resembling an anthropomorphic, demonic wolf. He has thick black fur, long pointed ears and extremely sharp teeth and claws. His eyes turn entirely ruby red.

Death
Bartholomew was killed in Tresenden, a victorian style city in the Herendan dimension, in 24 million BC. He was killed by Chelsea, the ninth Vampire created directly by Crisis. He died of fatal wounds delivered by Chelsea, using a silver crucifix, although Bartholomew survived the initial battle he eventually dies from his injuries hours later.
