Bassius was born the third son of a mid-level bureaucrat in Oppara, and grew up in the city. He showed more of a martial temperament than his brothers, and rather than try to train the rambunctious boy as a scribe, his father apprenticed him to the temple of Abadar, which allowed him to pay off a debt he owed the church. When Bassius came of age, he was initated as a paladin of the Church, and charged with keeping order in the Grandbridge District of Oppara. He discharged his duties well, until he was entangled in a scandal where he attempted to arrest a diplomat from Cheliax. Partly as punishment, partly to keep the paladin from prying political eyes, the church sent him on an evangelical mission north, to spread order and law in the lawless River Kingdoms. For the past several years, he has travelled from town to town, heading generally north through the River Kingdoms into Brevoy, acting as a local judge, arbiter, and teacher in many small towns.

Bassius still has much of the joviality of his youth. Not particularly quick to make friends, he is absolutely loyal to those he comes to trust. Though he has learned much more about the world since leaving Oppara, he still tends to come off as a little stuck-up, a mix of his upbringing and his ecclesiastical training, and is known to make somewhat detached observations about how the principles of civilization apply to situations he finds himself in. He also feels strongly about not accepting goods or services from private citizens (other than party members) for free, and if questioned about it, says that those who take freely without need are drains on the capacity of society.
