Base of Operations: In addition to the Bunker, Bastinado has spoken of having a safehouse in King's Row.
Notable Equipment: Bastinado drives a midnight black Plymouth Baracuda, which on the surface looks like a gangbanger's ride but performance-wise is somewhere between a mini-tank and a cruise missile ((Thanks, Mr Carter)).

After fighting alongside him over the past few weeks, it is apparent that Bastinado has advanced military training and some have wondered if he was special/black ops.
He secretive to the point of obsession. His voice is strained, as if he hasn’t spoken for along time, and it is impossible to place his accent beyond “American”.
Several survivors of the Rivera incident fit Bastinado’s description: white males in their mid to late thirties. However, further investigation will reveal that none of them have the expected military history. ((PM me if you intend to question medical staff specifically about whether there was a “soldier” being treated at the hospital)).
Anyone running background checks may surmise that Bastinado was either not at the hospital, he was for some reason not counted among the survivors, or his presence has been covered up.
One thing of note is the ubiquitous metal plate across his eyes. The rest of his costume is light weight military spec armour, which jars with the roughly constructed, slightly rusted, iron plate.

((I really don’t expect Bastinado’s background to be a secret for ever. It is up to the rest of your characters as to how comfortable they are being led by someone who refuses to reveal his identity. Perhaps at one point there will be a stalemate where he either has to leave the group or reveal who he is and face the consequences.
At the moment, this fact probably doesn’t stand out so much as both Psyte and Solar Flare wear masks and have yet to reveal much about themselves to other characters)).
