Bastion Ireheart, Grand King Bastion Ireheart (born 14th of the Grand Harvest, 1400 - 11th of The Deep Cold, 1612) is a prominent dwarven politician and incumbent Grand King of Urguan. In his youth, Bastion was known for being right-wing aligned politically, and his ideology described as rather conservative to centrist, views akin to what some scholars state is a sizable shift in character. Bastion was born to a dwarven bureaucrat and military figurehead Igor Ireheart, spending numerous of his younger yeas wandering lordless in the vast lands of Asulon. Upon the death of his father, the young Bastion return to the Grand Kingdom in the Fringe lands, fighting in several Orenian states.

Upon the return of peace Bastion disappeared for an unknown duration of time, only reappearing in Athera. Upon his arrival back to the Dwarvish lands, his personality was described as something rather different from the dwed he once was, Bastion was said to be level-headed and far more politically savvy than he once was, joining in again to fight in yet another war against the Holy Orenian Empire. During such times Bastion claimed the position of Clan Father over the Irehearts, reviving them from their dwindling state, and achieving a position on the Senate of Hammers. At the time, Grand King Balek Irongut ruled over the dwarven people, and under him Bastion offered forth his life in service as a Kingsguard in addition to his political work. As the descended races shifted to the new lands of Vailor, Bastion Ireheart once more, disappeared.

Following the great passing of time within the lands of Vailor, and the transition unto the Isles of Axios, Bastion Ireheart once more appeared among his people. Upon his arrival back within the dwarven lands, Bastion served as a Kingsguard to the current Grand King, Algoda Frostbeard, fighting alongside his brothers in a war with the Holy Orenian Empire under Emperor Philip Frederick. However his service to Grand King Algoda came to a swift end following the King's assassination. After such's occurance, a snap election was held in which Bastion found himself nominated, alongside his kinsmen Wulfstag and Kilgrim Ireheart, subsequently winning the election with the votes of the Grandaxes, Starbreakers and the Doomforged. With his rise to power Bastion inherited the war againts Oren, aligning himself with the Courland-lead Axionite Coalition, he chose to place his focus internally, addressing issues specifically pertaining to the Dwedmar State over the war itself.

Bastion himself oversaw his forces with the Coalition find victory at the battle of the Goldfields, proving to be the killing blow againts the Orenian Empire. Following the conclusion of the war, Bastion is credited with enacting numerous reforms, such being: a revision of the Articles of Urguan, Codex of Laws, re-establishing past guilds and forming the Grand Council of Urguan. Additionally improving the wealth of the Grand Kingdom, much of which was lost under the rule of Torvin Grandaxe. And working to establish and keep good relations with numerous of the isle's post-war nations, taking part in many defensive alliances and non-aggression pacts to ensure a lasting peace. Bastion also struck a noticeably amicable relationship with the King of Courland, Tobias Staunton.
