Captain Bartholomew is a supporting character in the original Wild Arms as well its remake Wild Arms Alter Code: F, the captain of the Sweet Candy. Bartholomew something of an enigma: He's loved by his crew, hopelessly romantic, courageous and generous. Yet he also is easily flustered, blustering, apparently horrible at naming things and a bit of a lecher as he likes girls of "around" 18 years old. He has a leitmotif, "Crossing Over the Raging Waves", that can be heard whenever the player boards the Sweet Candy.
The player party first meets him drowning his sorrows at Port Timney since he's not up to getting the Crystal Bud -- a must have for his dream wedding -- out of the Maze of Death. Upon its retrieval, ensuing events include a mock-wedding to Cecilia Adlehyde on his ship Sweet Candy. Throughout the adventure he'll be of aid to the team and a guinea pig for a craft devised by Emma Hetfield. He's encountered again in Ship's Graveyard where he's having issues with a Ghost Ship.
Another character by the name of Captain Bartholomew appears in Wild Arms 5, although differing in appearance, personality and supporting role.
