Garsus, Bart

バート・ガルサス

Bart Garsus is a first-class citizen from Taraak, born to wealthy parents who owned a food production company. Initially, he is an easily excitable, weak, and cowardly character, but he eventually becomes the helmsman of the Nirvana after the ship selects him for the role. Early in Vandread: The Second Stage, Bart shows compassion for a sick little girl on a polluted planet. She listens to his embellished stories and laughs at his jokes. When a Harvest ship arrives on the planet, he displays courage for the first time by fighting them off almost single-handedly using the Nirvana's weapons. However, while he is away, she dies from her illness. She leaves behind a doll of Bart that she was making, with the hair unfinished, so Bart shaves his head in her memory. Towards the end of the series, he develops feelings for BC, unaware of her secret, but even after discovering it, he remains unmoved and continues to pursue a relationship with her. Although more settled later in the series, Bart remains a source of comic relief.
