What is the lore behind Tart Tycoon in Fortnite?
Tart Tycoon is perhaps one of the most low-key iconic characters in the Metaverse. Although he's not very popular within the community, every now and then players can be seen using the character in-game. This is because he also happens to be one of the rarest cosmetics to be part of Fortnite with a rich history. Unlike other characters who are connected to in-game lore, Tart Tycoon is connected to real-world lore.
He was created by Epic Games as part of the Nineteen Eighty Fortnite campaign that involved Apple. For this reason, the character is not only unique, but perhaps the only one to directly be connected to the developers. Tart Tycoon has an apple for his head which is symbolic of Apple's logo. However, unlike the logo, his head (the apple) has not had a bite taken out of it.
In terms of in-game lore, the character's official description reads, '#FreeFortnite". This again is a reference to Apple and the lawsuits that followed during that time. That being said, it's very unlikely that Epic Games has anything planned for Tart Tycoon in connection with the storyline. For all intents and purposes, he shall remain a mascot for the Epic versus Epic scenario.
What are the cosmetic items related to Tart Tycoon in Fortnite?
Tart Tycoon is not part of any cosmetic set in Fortnite. The only cosmetic associated with the character is his outfit. It features LEGO Style as well. According to data-miners, the character was supposed to have a matching Back Bling, but it would seem that Epic Games dropped the plan for reasons unknown. Perhaps in the future it could be introduced to the game via a bundle.

When was Tart Tycoon last seen in Fortnite and when will it return?

That said, Tart Tycoon could be featured in-game soon. Be sure to check into the Fortnite Item Shop tomorrow to see if Epic Games surprises you by adding the character back to the game.
