Biography[]
Bart first appeared assisting Stefano and his daughter, Kristen DiMera. Stefano used him to spy on his enemies, and Bart worked alongside Wilhelm Rolf to carry out Stefano’s orders. After Stefano fled town, Bart and Rolf worked for Stefano’s daughter, Lexie, until Andre DiMera (posing as Tony DiMera) returned to Salem.
After Rolf betrayed Andre and mysteriously died during an argument with Rex, Bart became Andre’s right hand and personal assistant. He helped Andre carry out his plan to keep several Salemmites prisoner on the island of Melaswen, and later keep a handful captive in a DiMera Castle in Europe. Bart evaded caprice when Andre was arrested and unsuccessfully tried to blackmail Sami Brady into breaking Andre out of prison.
Bart later returned alongside Stefano, Andre, Rolf, and EJ DiMera. Bart tried to kill Sami a couple of times, but the attempts were thwarted by EJ. Though Bart was loyal to Stefano, he proved to be more loyal to Andre as he went against Stefano’s wishes and tried to help Andre kill EJ. Bart was later apprehended by the police so they could use the map on his back to find Tony DiMera.
He was shot in the foot by an enraged Sami Brady after he tried to disarm when an enraged Sami held him, Stefano, and EJ at gunpoint in retaliation for Andre stabbing her father. The next day, Bart was accidentally killed during a sword fight between Andre and Tony when he got caught in the middle and was fatally stabbed.
