Biography[]
The Essen Tasch[]
In February 1820, Stasion travels alone to Red London as he was chosen to compete in this year's Essen Tasch.
Two days before the tournament, Stasion attends a party with the other Arnesian competitors and their entourage at the Setting Sun. There, he talks briefly with Jinnar, but remains mostly in the background—this and his physique catches the attention of Lila Bard who follows him after Stasion leaves early.[1]
Lila attacks Stasion with a metal bar in a narrow street, and though he fights back, she manages to knock him out by hitting him in the head. Alucard Emery then takes Stasion's belongings from his coat pockets—among them is a key to the Coach and Castle Inn, his invitation to the Essen Tasch, and some notes on the other competitors—and removes his pin, handing everything to Lila. Lila also steals Stasion's coat, wraps him in a wool blanket, and cuts off a lock of his hair before she and Alucard send him away on a criminal transport ship to Delonar.[2]
