Bash, being an intelligent and curious child, had picked up skills from both his father's artistic side and his mother's engineering by mimicking their work.

After the death of Tiberius, Sylvia struggled with the grief of losing her husband, who had left her with a son that reminded her so much of him.

When she eventually disappeared, a young Sebastian was left to fend for himself. After the family home was seized, an elderly neighbor and friend of his father's took care of him for a while. When she too died when Bash was fourteen, he decided to sign up for the arenas and start making his own way in the world.
