Bastien

Serving Fish: Bas is a Waiter at the Port and Portal, the swanky seafood restaurant in Venture Cove. You might have run into him if you've eaten there, or even if you just happen to spend a decent amount of time in the Venture Cove area of the park.

Wining & Dining: Bas grew up in and around his family's restaurant, Café del Ferrara in Traverse City and he's worked nearly every position in the place at one time or another. He's passionate about good food and wine and knows a lot about French and Italian Cuisine.

Shutterbug: Bas is a keen amateur photographer and you can often find him snapping pictures on his polaroid when he is out and about in the parks but his prized possession is a Canon AE1 he picked up in a thrift shop back in Traverse City.

Collector of Ephemera: Bas collects ephemera! He's interested in anything from old letters and photographs to ticket stubs, old restaurant menus and postcards. Second hand shops and flea markets draw him like a moth to a flame!

Armchair Detective: In his free time, Bas loves nothing more than a good book. Detective stories are his particular favourite and he loves the challenge of being able to pick up on all the subtle clues in the text to try and solve the mystery before the big denouement!

Language Enthusiast: He's descended from Italians who settled in Marseille before emigrating to the USA after World War 2. His parents and Grandparents both speak French and Italian and while Bas isn't fluent, he's keen to improve.

He is a young man a little over six feet tall with wavy, dark brown hair that falls loosely around his face. His complexion is lightly golden, and his features are defined, with a strong jawline and straight nose. His eyes are a clear grey-blue, set beneath thick, dark eyebrows. He has a lean, athletic build, with long limbs and a frame that suggests a balance of strength and agility. His expression is calm and focused, giving him a composed and steady appearance.
