Biography
Bartik was first seen when he was alerted by Gem to programs being captured by Clu's forces and stored at the solar sailer docks. Along with his ally, Hopper, he went to docks and found the programs on standby being held prisoner in the solar sailers. Bartik used a charge from a grenade on the control panel of one of the solar sailers, reactivating the programs and allowing him to enter. However, one of the programs noticed a patrol of Black Guards were approaching, so Bartik concocted a plan of having them all remain still, pretending to be deactivated.
When the guards arrived, they were ambushed by the rogue programs, and although the fight soon swung in favor of the prisoners, Bartik suffered a grievous injury when he was slashed across the face by a sword. The rogue programs appeared to be winning the battle when one of the guards sent out a signal for reinforcements. Bartik quickly derezzed the guard, but he realized that his group wouldn't stand a chance against the more of them, so they were forced to flee.
Bartik later 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.
