History: Blythe was made especially for Bastion. He made certain that the weaponsmith made it to his exact design. After which he found he had no money to pay the weaponsmith and he killed the man to make the trouble go away. With his new prized possesion he walked the town with distinction and pride.
When he passed a stranger walking the road he would challenge them to a duel. If they accepted he would fight them, as well as embarass them. If they ran he would run after them waving his cane like a crazed idiot.
He practiced at night in the graveyard, over and over we would go through the motions. His style becoming elegant and much more fitting. He began to find foes worthy of his skills rather than travellers and highwaymen. New enemies found him every night, ghouls and the like turned to heartless. None would stand before his sword. What more could the crazy want....
