Bernard Tolkin is the bassist of The Opera Rejects. What was once just a hobby for him became an overnight sensation of the music scene and he suddenly saw himself with wealth beyond measure. However, he feels that this success is threatened by the unprofessional behavior of his bandmates, something he feels he can't accept. He acts like a company shill at times, in hopes that keeps them in the label's good side. He's a very serious man with a bad sense of humor, but a lot of musical references.
