Bartus is a recent incarnation of an old spacer. It is rumored that Bartus was created using a clone blank and a vial of DNA from an old spacer known as 22bud..

While 22bud was a galaxy class scientist and coprorate executive Bartus does not seem to have those skills. He is still young though and it will be interesting to see if these old talents resurface.

At this point Bartus is just trying to make his way in the universe.
