Summary
Bartleby is one of the three cosmic beings in the Wizard101 universe. Bartleby existed as the center of magic in the First World and watched over existence. His sister, Grandmother Raven decided to give Bartleby the Eyes Of Time, one showed the past, and the other showed the future. This would make Bartleby's job of watching over the First World much easier. One day, he sang a song, which would be known as the Song Of Creation, which would multiply his sister's and Spider's children, the Three Titans, into a race of lesser beings, who became the inhabitants of the First World. However, the Titans would one day get into conflict. Seeing that this battle would go on for an eternity, Bartleby sang the Titanic Lullaby, which would put the Titans into an eternal sleep. With the First World now broken into fragments due to the conflict, Bartleby was forced to sing the Song Of Creation once again, to fashion a spiral to hold the fragments of the First World together. He now serves as the center of magic in the Spiral. It was later revealed that Bartleby is the mortar that binds the concepts of Darkness and Chaos with Light and Order, and guards the life-giving water across the Spiral.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- The Titanic Lullaby: The Titanic Lullaby is Bartleby's most effective and powerful technique. This was originally sung to put the Three Titans into an eternal sleep after they destroyed the First World, even putting Grandfather Spider to sleep not long after. The Lullaby is stronger if the opponent even has a hint of divinity, but is still capable of affecting mortals. The Lullaby can also work on beings who don't require sleep or can't fall asleep in general.
- The Song of Creation: The Song of Creation is the most infamous spell in the game. Morganthe once used the song to make the Broodmother lose all her morals and fall under her control. She also planned to use the song to rewrite the Spiral in her image but was overwhelmed by its full power. Originally, Bartleby sang the Song of Creation to create the Spiral and hold the shattering fragments of the First World together. The song is also so loud, that those without significant mastery over sound manipulation and resistance to it, will succumb to its power.
- Dimension Shift: Much like Grandfather Spider, Bartleby can use Dimension Shift to steal his opponent's buffs.
- Debilitate: Simultaneously decreases an opponent's accuracy, damage output and healing abilities by 100%.
- Amigurumi: Allows Bartleby to simultaneously heal himself and decrease an opponent's damage output by 90%.
- Lord of the Squall: Deals massive damage to all opponents and removes all status effects and PIPs on those affected.
- Impede: Prevents an opponent from regaining their power (in the form of PIPs) after using it.
- Omnegation: With this passive ability, Bartleby can nullify any abilities associated with all schools of magic, which includes Shadow Magic, as well as conceptual abilities and non-magicial abilities.
