Biography: 

This "Colonel" is Bayard Sartoris, the son of John Sartoris, who actually was a Confederate colonel. Referred to in The Reivers as "the banker with his courtesy title" (72), it is his role in passing an ordinance against cars in town that provokes Lucius' grandfather into buying a car.
