Biography:
The twin brother of Bayard Sartoris, III ("Young Bayard"), son of John and Lucy Cranston Sartoris, and grandson of "Old" Bayard. He attended the University of Virginia and Princeton University before joining the Royal Air Force as an aviator in World War I. He was shot down and killed behind enemy lines in July 1918. In a sense he haunts the text. He is remembered very fondly by many of the novel's characters, and with a great deal of survivor guilt by his brother.
