Bastien Dubois

Real Name: Bastien Dubois
Title: Prince Ahiru (King of Autumn), Magus
Court: Autumn
Mien: A strong young man with colorful tattoos, shadowed eyes, and twin knives jutting out of his feet. He is always clad in wooden pointe shoes.
Mask: A muscled redhead with bright blue eyes and a penchant for standing in odd positions.
Known Information: Bastien fled his evil Keepers when he was only thirteen. Treehouse was to be his home just until his fetch was located and disposed of, but the boy's family could never be positively identified.
Initially, Bastien joined the Autumn Court by mistake, thinking it was about conquering Fear rather than wielding it, and he was too frightened to try and switch courts. Over time, he grew to understand the Ashen Court's philosophies, but shied from cultivating its patron emotion in Reality, instead joining the Magi of the Gilded Thorn at age fifteen by lying to an unscrupulous recruiter.
Ever since, Bastien has patrolled the Hedge for Lost seeking refuge, sometimes leaving the freehold for days at a time. He regularly visits Crow for mental check-ups, and seems to be doing fine despite his extended stints away from Reality.
This year, Bastien was voted King of his court, much to the chagrin of pretty much everyone who cares about Court business. (Luckily, that's almost nobody.)
Rumors: Bastien has only one blatant rival at Treehouse, and that's the glowing Adonis, who's been the Vernal Sovereign for almost five years now. The details are muddy, but supposedly it all started back in 2016, when Adonis altered the Desire of Bastien's first girlfriend to be for him. Word under the Treehouse is, he's done the same thing with every romantic interest Bastien's had since. Every time Bastien's confronted him on the matter, Adonis denies magical interference, and the confrontation escalates until the whole Free Gods Motley gets involved. Invariably, Bastien backs down.
Hollow: Unknown, probably awesome.
