Description

Bastion is a thick wall of muscle with dark gray flesh and a monstrous visage. Large stone wings with feathers sculpted into them fold and move on his back. Deep dry cracks can be seen along his clean scalp. Often he can be seen with graffiti of different arcane symbols on the side of his head. He usually lurks completely shrouded in a dark cloak to hide his form from prying eyes. When he is comfortable with his surroundings he wears a hooded denim vest, tshirt and jeans.
