Under trivia for Sebastion, it says:
- There are internet rumors Bash is based on Bastian Pagez, one of Mary's most loyal servants. This is not true.
Yet, it seems fairly obvious that they have puled details from Bastian Pagez's life into this character:
- The real Bastian was a frenchman, faithful to Mary, following her to Scotland and then on to England after her exile
- He was close enough to Mary to be accused of her husband Lord Darnley's murder and she had attended Bastian's wedding party the night before the murder
- According to Wikipedia, "it has often been written that Bastian married one of the Queen's ladies", which ties in well with him marrying Kenna
