Origin: Unknown

Position: Con Artist

Born: IS 403

Death: N/A

A con artist working in Haud Village, he decided to fake being an appraiser to support his family. It was very difficult of him to match his artistic tastes with that of Lord Barows, but he did it so he could send his family the money. After the Prince brings in artwork that Bastan can actually appreciate, a painting by the famous Ivanov of Scarlet Moon, Bastan decides to relocate to [Sindar] Castle. Bastan does not get along well with Cornelio, but can generally fake his way out of talking with him. - Matt620 (article), Basel (image)
