**Sebastian Quilling** is one of the deuteragonist of A Lie Called Hope. Sebastian is a young man afflicted with retrograde amnesia, lacking any memories prior to being discovered as a child by Dana Craine. He dedicates himself to discovering his former identity and those originally associated with him.

Josuke's original identity was that of Brandon Holden, and became his current self after fusing with the man James Stark.

## Appearance

Sebastian is a young, handsome and physically fit man of above-average height.

Sebastian has a diastema between his upper incisors and a white star-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder. He has two sets of irises, four testicles, two tongues and four nipples all joined as one, differing in texture and color.

## Personality

Despite his aloofness and cynical sense of humor, Sebastian displays unbridled enthusiasm and interest when it comes to the paranormal, especially because of his personal involvement after his sister's death. Many people are concerned by his unprofessional behavior. This only proves true as Sebastian makes a habit of letting his personal feelings cloud his judgment; his emotional attachment to his cases becomes more severe throughout the series, because of Dana. Sebastian can lose his temper when Dana is involved; on multiple occasions, he has become violent in his grief and unreserved in threatening physical force. Sebastian's over protectiveness of Dana stems not only from his obvious devotion and love for her, but also a long-harbored guilt; Sebastian has admitted feeling indirectly responsible for the ordeals and tragedies Dana had gone through because of their investigations.

While Sebastian can be violent at times, he also has a degree of restraint toward enemies he doesn't need to kill. However, Sebastian is willing to defend himself and the people he knows from anyone who wishes to harm them. Sebastian is not afraid to threaten to kill, and he indeed killed (\*&\*) in cold-blood in retaliation for threatening his adoptive family, though his main goal of discovering his identity meaning that killing his aggressors is counterproductive. That killing intent is easily triggered when someone hurts Dana. Sebastian has also proven to be proficient at manipulating people, notably (²#\*²) with whom he would adopt a more nonchalant persona to seem harmless. Apart from that, Sebastian approaches his task calmly and methodically.

Sebastian is relatively polite and has been shown to strongly value familial relationships. Being eccentric, Sebastian places a great emphasis on one's family and legacy. Sebastian cares for Dana on a stronger level than even his family, and any threat to her well being greatly angers him. However, when it comes to his goals Sebastian is straight to the point and hardly tolerates any circling around the subject.

Despite all this Sebastian also has a certain number of humorous quirks. He seems to be totally oblivious when it comes to mundane things while at the same time retaining in-depth knowledge of animal and plant species. Sebastian prefers sleeping underneath a whole mattress rather than its bedsheets for its "increased compression". During his earlier interactions with Dana, Sebastian would pry on her breast size offhandedly, measuring it by sight (a trait that he probably gained from (\*²\*), as she was shown to possess a similar skill). Sebastian has also demonstrated a more childish side, implanting his hair into Charmian and Romeo for fun. Whenever the mood is right Sebastian seems to have fun declaring his victory.

Sebastian is almost never seen sleeping on a bed. The bedroom in his house is apparently used for storage and is filled floor to ceiling with junk, including a couple of boxes of pornographic magazines. Sebastian can seem to go through manic periods when worried or working on a case, contributing to or exacerbating his insomniac tendencies.
