Bart Klein

Bart Klein is a minor character in Tales of Phantasia. He is the father of Arche Klein and the husband of Luti Klein, who appears to be an elf. He resides inside the entrance of Lone Valley, the home of Sylph. He fell in love with Luti in old days and they gave birth to Arche at one time. However, the elves forced to take Luti away right after Arche was born. He has been hiding the truth of Arche's mother to his daughter during the following years. Bart's name is first mentioned by Klarth, who believes that he may know some details about Sylph and the pact ring. Bart tells the party as much as he knows, and in return he requests them to find his missing daughter Arche for him. The party find Arche disguising as Rhea after defeating Demitel. Bart appears to have a long talk with Arche, and eventually agrees to let her go with Cless' group with the belief that his daughter has grown up. His last appearance is made after Arche visits Elf's Colony and realizes that her mother is still alive. Bart feels guilty of keeping Luti's existence as a secret, but the only thing he can say is 'I am sorry'. In the future timeline, an anonymous old man takes possession of Bart's house, and nothing much is known what happens to him since then.
