Bastion

Bastion is a party member in Phantasmagia.

Biography
A war hero & once proud soldier. Bastion is disillusioned with his military service and deeply regrets the multitude of atrocities that he allowed to occur during his tenure. Despite being well spoken & self-confident, he's aware that most people find him to be rather boring. Bastion strives to be as good of a person as the public believes him to be & encounters significant inner turmoil during his journey.

In Phantasmagia Comic issue #1, we see a portion of Bastion's military career. Bastion is leading an extermination campaign against The Indoctrinated, those who have been fully infested by a virulent disease known as the violet plague. Despite their classification as level-0 non-sentient beings, he discovers through his experience that the indoctrinated still possess varying degrees of intelligence. A particularly violent clash at a large infected settlement leads to the breaking point for Bastion's moral integrity.
