Editing Bastion (section)

==Relationships==
===Blockade===
He had a daughter at some point, it is unknown what relationship he had with her or the woman that was presumably her mother.<ref>

Brownlee's latest actions explicitly target a team with five years of history in Raleigh. The Progeny are the children and ex-sidekicks of much-loved first-wave heroes from North Carolina, and had the recruitment been successful, they would have brought Blockade, daughter of Bastion, into the group. - [[PHO Sunday]] - [https://redd.it/gyh011  'We don't want Protectorate Dropouts' - Gov.

===[[Vista]]===
While he only interacted her for a few seconds if not minutes at best, her part in his death had an effect on the young hero for years afterward.<ref>“Okay.  Don’t become one of those voices in my head, Victoria.  I’ll put you in a corner of my brain with Bastion, Barrow Rose, and Shatterbird.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/26 Excerpt] from [[Blinding 11.9]]</ref>

===Reputation===
Had a well earned reputation and name recognition.<ref name="Cast1" /> This kept people from trying to bundle him off to some out of the way department after a major social 'faux pas'.<ref name="R1">For what it's worth, there are still a few departments that are close to one another, but keep in mind that the PRT tends to ascribe roles to a given department. One department has tertiary responsibilties in managing an asylum, another has roles handling branding for surrounding departments and offices.<br/><br/>Denver Colorado is one of the earlier and larger departments, and somewhere along the line, Aurora Colorado was set up. Denver continues operations as a normal department with the ability to mobilize to states to the north, while Aurora is more of a rehabilitation center and hideaway for capes who the PRT wants off the radar. Had Bastion been someone of less standing or had the progression of the scandal with his racist remarks reached a less than tidy conclusion, they might have retired him to Aurora. Ditto for capes getting off drugs or away from the 'scene', where simply moving them to a small town wouldn't do due to lack of oversight (compare to Licit, who has addiction problems and is a party animal, who was stationed in a small town office, but doesn't really need strict supervision or structure beyond that measure). - [https://redd.it/6966zf Comment] by Wildbow on Reddit</ref> Though it still undermined his credibility.<ref name="17.2II">There were people who could enter a room, and everyone would stop talking, or the tone of conversation, at the very least, would shift.  Chevalier.  Legend.  Narwhal.  Dragon.  There were people who had impacted world-scale events who didn’t quite have that presence or clout.<br/>[...]<br/>There ''were'' capes who’d come close to being big but didn’t have the underlying character.  Bastion sprung to mind, in the time before his death. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/05 Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.2]]</ref>
