Born and raised on a farm out in Terra Nova, Bert's unique worldview has had him bounce from place to place as he's tried to find a satisfying career. Though he enjoyed working with the animals on his family's farm, he found time slipping away from him. A wanderlust lead him to work as a roadie for the band "The Fecking Nancies", but was fired after stepping out to use the toilet, only to find the frontman's favourite guitar had been stolen. While working as a bouncer for a nightclub, Bert's growing interest in philosophy lead him to the life of a mercenary, travelling to exotic places and trying to build a better world - a worthwhile, memorable, and meaningful lifestyle.
