Basil

Obligatory very tragic backstory OC.

Basil looks like generic 30-something handsome dude, his only distinct feature is several brown birthmarks scattered across the face. 

Workaholic, little naïve, confused bisexual energy, maybe aro.

Leader of a special forward detachment made up of penal battalion  members and trained prisoners, called among other teams ''deadmen  vanguard''. (dayum...)

This squad is formed to find and clear all  sorts of abnormal stuff, but usually they are just a meat shield for  more experienced and professional teams behind. 

Despite having  the worst possible job Basil doesn't wanna quit. "Who else if not me?"  kinda attitude (but not heroic). He still doesn't know how he survives  every time.

He himself was sentenced, but 4 years of service in  vanguard and military past brought him to full amnesty.  He stayed there  as a commander since. 

On one of the most disastrous mission, when all of his squad had perished, wounded Basil met ''friendly'' eldritch Seth (who seemed to enjoy the scenery from afar). 

Seth helped him to stay alive until the medics arrived (ye love story begins)
