Bastilan

Space Marines Portal Black Templars

Bastilan was a Sergeant of Squad Grimaldus of the Black Templars Chapter. Bastilan was noted by Grimaldus for his humility, having stated that he had no desire to rise above the rank of Sergeant and become a Castellan or Marshal.^[1a]

He fought alongside the rest of Squad Grimaldus in the Helsreach Crusade.^[1a] During the final stages of the Crusade the remaining Black Templars made a last stand at the Temple of the Emperor Ascendant. Bastilan witnessed the death of Bayard, the Emperor's Champion, at the hands of the orks. He tried to recover Bayard's Black Sword but was decapitated in the attempt.^[1b]
