	Bertrand was encouraged to join the [[:Category:The Fraternity of Shadows\|Fraternity of Shadows]] from a young age by both his parents, although Salome was by far the most insistent. He sought advancement through the ranks by sucking up to his superiors and bullying both his peers and inferiors. He would steal research materials, claim credit for successful operations, slander or outright [[poison]] any who tried to defy him. His cousin Aleister Smythe was one of his favoured targets, and Bertrand saw to it that his cousin's career in the Fraternity stalled out. Although his sister Serenity was not in the Fraternity and hurting her would bring him no advantage, he still sexually assaulted her; an act that would lead to her pregnancy, [[madness]] and [[death]].
