Bastards

The Bastards were one of the two primary group of Stalkers in Krat, the other being the Sweepers. They served as guards for the Alchemists and the Workshop.

Background

The Bastards were a group of Stalkers largely formed from members of nobility that had been ousted from succession. They took on "Honor, or Nothing" as their motto. In order to make up for their lost inheritance, The Bastards started working with the Alchemists who brought newfound wealth into Krat. The Bastards had a fierce rivalry with the Sweepers, who protected the old families that were threatened by new wealth and power the Alchemists brought in. Both groups were devastated by the Puppet Frenzy and most of their members were killed. Afterward the surviving Bastards continued to serve the Alchemists until their leader Lumacchio was defeated by Geppetto's puppet.
