The biggest park ever built, a centerfold of attractions. Each one, more grand than the one before it. It makes my eyes come to tears at the thought. But then... oh Mister Drew. For all your talk of dreams, you are the true architect behind so many nightmares. I built this park. It was to be a masterpiece! My masterpiece! And now you think you can just throw me out? Trample me to the dust and forget me? No! This is my park! My glory! You may think I've gone... But I'm still here!
~ Bertrum Piedmont attacks as he is roused from his sleep.

Bertrum Piedmont is a minor antagonist in the 2017 horror video game Bendy and the Ink Machine and a minor character in its 2022 sequel, Bendy and the Dark Revival. He was the owner and architect of Bendy Land and a manager of Joey Drew Studios. Much like the other workers of the studios, he was corrupted by the Ink Machine, resulting in his transformation into a carnival ride.

He was voiced by Joe J. Thomas, who also played one of the Lost Ones.

Appearance[]

Not much is known about what Bertrum looked like as a human, although his face is seen through the machine. He has black hair and a thick mustache. He always looks at Henry as he moves around, and it twitches as it takes damage and later dies. His face is also somewhat distorted, covered with lumps and swellings, although this might be from the Ink.

As a monster, Bertrum appears as an Energy Storm thrill ride with four mechanical arms on his sides with three rides per arm. Each arm is supported by four bolts (two on each side). The middle section of Bertrum is in the decorative fashion of a carousel with his face visible in the mid-section of the attraction through open doors. The arms, base, and top of the ride are covered in light bulbs.

Personality[]

Bertrum is a very arrogant man who shows pride of all the theme parks he created for forty years, claiming them to be colossal wonders. He also believes that he earned his legacy with sweat. He hates being called pet names and having his credit taken away from him, as he dislikes being disrespected. In his monster form, Bertrum retains his arrogance, now intending to protect his park, thus he attacks Henry in mistake that he wants to obtain Bertrum's park.

Biography[]

Backstory[]

For forty years, Bertrum enjoyed making and planning theme parks across the lands. He was hired as the architect to build the attractions at Bendy Hall at Joey Drew Studios. During his time working at the Studios, Bertrum disliked working for Joey Drew, as the latter attempted to gain the rights to Bendy Land (even though Bertrum claimed it as his creation) and called him childish nicknames to ruin his reputation, such as "Bertie", much to Bertrum's chagrin. Prior to the start of the game, Bertrum was corrupted by the Ink Machine and fused with one of his attractions to become a mechanical monster.

Bendy and The Ink Machine[]

Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders[]

Bertrum first appears in the fourth chapter of the game. He is located in the Attractions Storage room in Storage 9. When Henry activates Bertrum's tape, he comes alive and attacks, breaking the table with the tape recorder. Bertrum attacks by swinging the rides in a clockwise and counterclockwise manner, slamming them down when Henry gets close. To defeat him, Henry must grab an axe that came from the table and chop the bolts that support each arm whenever he slams them down. Whenever an arm is cut off, Bertrum's other arms move at a faster rate. Once Henry cuts off all four of Betrum's arms, he deactivates before the ride doors close for good.

Bendy and The Dark Revival[]

Bertrum's head can be seen in the studio, due to being separated from his thrill ride body by The Keepers. His eyes move, focusing on Audrey, meaning that he is still alive.

Trivia[]

  • Bertrum's name is a variant of the old French/German name "Bertram", meaning "bright raven".
  • Bertrum appears to be the first monster to not be primarily comprised of ink, and that may be his actual head, twisted and malformed by the ink that oozes from his mouth.
  • Two achievements can be unlocked during Bertrum's boss fight: "Around and Around" is unlocked after defeating him, and "Going to be Sick" can be unlocked if Henry jumps onto Bertrum's arms while he spins.
  • He claims that Joey Drew talks about dreams but is in all actuality the maker of so many nightmares, this possibly references how Joey Drew is the overarching antagonist of the game, as it was his reckless and irresponsible actions that were responsible for the horrors seen in the abandoned studio.
  • Using the Seeing Tool during Chapter 2 reveals Bertrum's name on one of the coffins, implying that he was dead before becoming an ink monster.
  • In the Archives, only Bertrum's head is represented.
