"I have studied his teachings well. He may be gone but we now have a choice, slip back into the darkness that he pulled us from or forge on with the strength of purpose that he gave us. I choose to stand forward and honour Karns memory, to become something greater than myself. I will help teach the future generations that the darkness inside oneself is not something to be destroyed but a font of knowledge and understanding, to be used when needed and learned from in times of crisis. I may have walked once in paranoia and distrust, but now that I have finally stood up and seen the stars, the only direction is forward, together" -Sebastian, addressing the Angels after Karns death.

Sebastian:

Sebastian was originally born to impoverished parents in what was once the Libyan border to Egypt in the town of Musaid on the shores of the then mostly evaporated and bombarded Mediterranean sea. His parents saw his birth as both a blessing and a curse and endeavored to raise their son as normally and as humanly as possible trying to ensure that while he looked super human he would be accepted as just a normal individual. The east of Libya at the time of Sebastians birth was still heavily affected after the Skyfall period, with much of the region part of the old fishing communities and dockyards which helped provide food for and give transport to the wreck of Earths first orbital ring, located in Crete which was destroyed during the invasion and its subsequent collapse wrecked the entire surrounding region. The towns of the area were insular and paranoid having had to give up what few supplies they had left and created to the military units of Capitol which passed through the region, often by 'persuasion ' through violent means. As such the presence of Sebastian made many question his legitimacy of being in the town, stating his presence would attract Capitol soldiers who would attack them for hiding someone like him, tensions simmered and Sebastian, who at that time was given a different name at birth which he would never speak of, was wary of the village people who conspired against him. It would be an incident with other villagers which finally triggered his exile, working at the quarry as his town usually did to help build new infrastructure a band of men attempted to attack him to drive him out, using his sudden found powers to manipulate the earth around him Sebastian impaled them with their own rocks they carried before being driven out by the village for his transgressions including by his own parents.

Cast out and wandering like a vagrant Sebastian distrusted others, surviving by himself for many years as he was hunted by mercenaries and the like hired by the local villages to kill him, seeing him as a 'Ghost of the Desert' and 'A specter of bad luck'. Finally Sebastian would be discovered by a large Capitol convoy on accident, recognizing an Angel the commander of the group tried to convince Sebastian to join them however he had no intention and merely wished to take some of the supplies, when he attempted to do so, some of the soldiers opened fire resulting in a massacre which ended with the whole convoys death. Brought to the attention of Vanwitt and the Angels, Karn, Hugo and Myric were sent to bring him in. The resulting meeting ended in violence, with the distrustful Angel fighting all three before being restrained and taken back to their main facility in what once was the Alsace region. Sebastian was extremely distrustful of Capitol, SABE and the other Angels. Frequently fighting against his captors when conducting tests or during exercises to test his powers, still he began to warm to the likes of Karn and Reina who seemed to soothe his soul and also Larissa whom with he shared his deep distrust and mutual dislike of Vanwitt. It was during this time that he finally was given his name, initially an offhand comment by Reina who joked that he needed a name he liked it so much that he adopted it on the spot. While his problems of being extremely paranoid, quick to anger and arrogant were disruptive to his time with the Angels they were slowly mitigated in time by training with Karn who taught him how to mold his mind, and overcome his problems to be much more focused.

Thanks to Karns teachings and help, Seb quickly adapted, even coming to befriend and trust Vanwitt, earning the ire of Larissa who still distrusted the man. So much so did Seb change that he even began to undertaken personal missions for Vanwitt, in disposing of political rivals and other matters which some of the others even became jealous over including the assassination of some of SABEs top leadership. Seb of course finally got his awakening during the Bardo incident, coming to have full control over his powers of Earth, and soon after fully agreed to eagerly become one with the Siphon program to help others be empowered by his own strength. However as the siphon did its job and Vanwitt spiraled into madness, Seb had his vision of reality distorted, seeing the rebel Angels as a threat and frequently was sent to fight them as he almost enjoyed the pain of his siphon connections. Despite his actions against the other Angels he was eventually defeated by Hugo and Karn and finally was freed of his broken perception, coming to realize that Vanwitt had betrayed and used him. This tectonic shift caused Seb to become paranoid about others again and feel intense anger at himself for his actions. He joins the fight against Vanwitt and Capitol but is a reluctant ally of the Angels, even voicing his concerns at the alliance and working with the Cylaurians at the wars end. Even with the Unions founding, Seb struggled to pull himself clear of the anger inside of himself, luckily for him Karn once again agreed to help him, Seb, being so surprised that Karn would help him despite his actions was elated. In time his rage and paranoia are once again overcome, but just as Seb once more begins to enjoy the presence of others Karn was killed.

Unlike Larissa who spiraled into her hedonistic tendencies at Karns death, Sebastian refused to give in. He took his mentors teachings to heart and while he was distraught he never once wavered. With the aid of Reina who he was beginning to fall in love with Sebastian vowed to keep Karns teachings alive and even helps mentor the other Angels as time progresses, coming to even teach the Angel Guard in the time of the Draken war and aid Larissa in getting back on track along with Ouka. Seb would even become a pivotal figure during the Draken war, as he traveled from warzone to warzone often with no rest to help bealougered troops on the ground, even fighting what would become known as the Horst Mountain Requiem where he single handedly defeated the Magister in a 3 day non stop battle. Seb would become a father to a son with Reina as the two of them got married after the Draken war, much to the elation of the other Angels and Seb would go on to be an active commander in the Unions armed forces still despite his fatherhood, aiding where he could along with helping to teach others regardless of their background. Even as the Noontide war came to a close, Seb would continue to lead the Union as one of its last remaining Angels.
