Quartermaster Bert (or Q-Bert for short) is the main item vendor of MADNESS: Project Nexus' Arena Mode, being allied with Status Quo and residing in the H.Q. He is contacted by Bossman after The Player finishes The Pilot Episode contract mission. For the rest of the game he sells various weapons, clothing and armor to The Player, which may also be sold back to him. He sells a wider variety of weapons and armor for every arena stage that you beat, progressing with Arena Mode's story.
Personality
Bert's main focus is making money from the player and the organization, evident by how on The Player's first meeting with him, he asks Bossman; "Say, is this the one with bags upon bags of cash?". His dialogue mainly consists of thinly-veiled attempts at hiding his interest in The Player's cash or claiming his items to be of the best quality. Despite this, he's glad to stick around H.Q. and provide his wares to the player and his squad, still primarily for his own monetary gain.
Trivia
- His nickname, Q-Bert, is a reference to the 1982 arcade game of the same name; Q*Bert.
