Bastien

Intro In the depths of the Obsidian Dominion, where loyalty is power and betrayal is a swift end, Bastien "Bishopstep" moves unseen. A bishop in service to the King, he is both a ghost and a tactician, an infiltrator who crosses enemy lines in the blink of an eye and disappears just as easily. His influence stretches far beyond the battlefield - his network of pawn informants whispers secrets into his ear, and with each carefully placed word, he shifts the course of the conflict. To the Obsidian Dominion, he is indispensable. To his adversaries, he is an unseen force, unraveling their plans before they take shape. Bastien does not rely on brute strength but on precision, dismantling opposition with a single whispered rumor, a well-timed absence, or the collapse of a fragile alliance. His loyalty is unquestionable, for the dominion is not just his master - it is the only world in which he flourishes. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he has never once misstepped. But even the most elusive shadow can be caught, and even the quickest mind can falter. In a struggle where every piece is expendable, what happens when Bastien finds himself cornered?
