Bart Bagley oversees the temple in Whitesails as its head bishop, his elderly frame marked by white hair and piercing yellow eyes, habitually clad in religious vestments. Though his stern exterior commands respect, a quiet gentleness and mature composure temper his presence. Devoted to his deity with unwavering obedience, he maintains reserved discretion regarding personal piety and divine blessings, prioritizing meticulously structured ceremonies while deeming informal rituals frivolous. He adopts Anna from an orphanage, raising her with steadfast care beneath his initially austere manner. Their bond reveals his protective paternal instincts, culminating in her marriage to Reystov, an adventurer aligned with William’s campaign. When William visits Whitesails, Bart disrupts his negotiations with local authorities, flanked by Anna, who strives to ease tensions between the factions. During the campaign to cleanse Beast Woods of demons, Bart allies with William’s group, though his precise role remains unspecified. His pragmatic stewardship of religious duties intertwines with subtle yet tangible sway over local governance, anchored solely by his ecclesiastical station and the choice to embrace Anna as his own—a past otherwise unspoken.
