Bartik is a minor character in TRON: Legacy who plots a rebellion against Clu. He also serves as the main character of the short comic Solar Sailer Prisoners . He is a shadowy figure with a large scar on his face, which he received from a black guard's sword.
Biography
Bartik approached Castor in the End of Line Club, seeking audience with Zuse about leading a revolution against Clu. When the Black Guard attacked the club, Bartik fought bravely against them, but was easily derezzed by the guards.
Trivia
Bartik may have been named after Jean Bartik (nee Jean Jennings), the original programmer of ENIAC. If Bartik was named after Jean Bartik directly (as opposed to after her husband), this would be a departure from the Tron universe's logic where the programs have the same gender as their users. Perhaps Jean Bartik's husband was also a programmer?
Note that this reference to Jean Bartik (or her husband) would make sense, since Zuse was likely named after the German computer engineering pioneer, Konrad Zuse.
