Personality

Hrolk's Cave & Travel to Dalcrest
Bastien was traveling with Bromin Goldseeker when they were captured by goblins. Bromin was sent to King Nalk's castle while Bastien was held in Hrolk's cave. It is in this cave that he was rescued by The Four Hoors Men. He initially was very unfriendly towards the Hoors Men however tentatively agreed to work with them to get back to Dalcrest, agreeing to pay them in exchange for saving him.

Upon reaching Dalcrest, Bastien paid his debt and stayed in the Pinewind Inn, propositioning the group that he will pay them significant gold if they retrieve Bromin.

Assuming Leadership in Dalcrest
While the group was in town, they found themselves combating the stonesword group. Bastien witnessed the incompetence of the townmaster Alden Weber, and he set up shop in Alden's office, effectively assuming partial control of leadership in the town in his absense of action. From here, he co-ordinated with the group as they defeated the stoneswords and rescued Bromin. Things got heated between him and the group when there was a disagreement between the conditions of the agreement of Bromin's return, with the group claiming he was dishonest on the deal.
