Jump to: navigation, search

Bastian was a Heretic and madman who worshiped Daemons of fire and air, until he renounced his faith after embracing the worship of the Emperor, which helped him regain his sanity. He then became renowned for performing the Miracle of the Maimed Souls, which helped to heal those whose spirits had become damaged by traumatic experiences or mental illness. Bastian continued to do this for some time until his death, when he was struck nine times by bolter rounds. However, he would be declared an Imperial Saint after his death and was canonized as Saint Bastion Apostate; while the Ecclesiarchy further honoured his Sainthood, by establishing a hospice on Symbal Iota. Named the Hospice of Saint Bastian Apostate, the staff there provide care, both physically and spiritually, for members of the military, who have been driven insane by their experiences fighting the Imperium's many enemies.[1]
