Ancestors[]
1580[]
One ancestor of the Barman is a worker for the squire. In Chapter 2 on the 18th of November 1580, he is planting a tree on the Marktplatz that would be fully grown in the present day. When Eike brings a seal of the squire to him he then makes him plant a bed of flowers or build a statue of Eike. This is recorded in a painting by Karl Franssen.
1902[]
In this era, Eike can go to the same location of the Bar Zum Ei to find an open housed bar with a ancestor of the Barman. When visiting he will offer Eike a cup of coffee and then ask for payment. Eike can later repay the tab with a faberge egg watch given to him by Oleg thus sparking the Barman from the presents interest in egg shaped objects (he can also get a frying pan from this Barman if he hasn't already).
Trivia[]
His ancestor can be spooken by using the Cell Phone or Lighter near him, with no impact to the story.
