Bartholomew "Hollow" Hainsley

Overview
Hollow is the lead Omega in A Toast to Twenty-Three. Having presented as an Omega relatively late (at twenty-three) he must overcome the distasteful idea of being married off to available Alphas of the ton during the next season. All he wishes to do is thwart the advances of any Alpha who sets their eyes upon him and return home to horseback riding and fishing.

Appearance
Hollow is very short which is typical for the Omega dynamic. He has strawberry blonde hair and gray eyes. It is mentioned several times in the narrative that he has a stubborn cowlick in his hair toward the back where he sleeps on it.

Scent
Hollow's scent is described as sweet. Morgan Haskell's impression of his heat scent is described as an "exquisite honeyed aroma, marveling in its intensity and its uniqueness." Hollow's scent, when sampled by Drew Idlewind causes her to shudder and claim that he must be the sweetest man in England.

Mate
Hollow's mate is Morgan Haskell, the Duke of Asterly. There is a brief period where he considers marrying his distant cousin, Edwin Penberth.

Family
Hollow has one brother mentioned, Julian Hainsley, the Earl of Westbrooke. His sister-in-law is Julian's wife, Ophelia "Opie" Hainsley, the Countess of Westbrooke.
