Story So Far
Season 1

Bashenga was first introduced to the party while he was held captive by Cult of the Devourer members somewhere underneath Lo. The party managed to rescue him and his panther animal companion, Vysarus during a "daring and well calculated" escape plan.

After dispatching the cultists in the shanty town, Bashenga realized that the Tabaxi squad he had arrived with from Heartfort were all dead, so he decided to accompany the party in their journey against the cult that took their lives.

Bashenga's presence was that of a noble person. He spoke eloquently and worked with the party to parlay a majority of their diplomatic encounters. In combat, he used his chakrams and tridents to strike at foes from afar with his magically enhanced strength.

In Balia, he met a remote gathering of Guild of the Panther members led by Bold Wish. While they were of the opposite faction that he was in (The Cunning of the Panther), they sought to help bolster him for his upcoming encounter with The Faceless Man. Through a painful process, Bold Wish and his clan managed to awaken Bashenga's inert Nature abilities, allowing him a wider spell casting ability to assist his Ranger capabilities.

Bashenga was also tasked with gaining the support of The Guild of the Panther for the battle. This was a difficult task due to the political strife that plagued their guild. Through a meeting with M'bita, Bashenga agreed to take personal responsibility to assist his guild to the fullest if the outcome proved to be detrimental. M'bita also gifted him with a powerful, and sentient, javelin that called itself "The Javelin of Ananzi". Bashenga quickly renamed this to "The Javelin of Bashenga" through their psychic conversations.

In the aftermath of the Fist of Asmodeus encounter, Bashenga returned to The Guild of the Panther to help mend the wounds left behind when M'bita fell in battle.
