The Bastard is a creature from the Mythos. Half Were, half GOO minion, it was apparently formed during the war that predated The Sundering, and was involved with that spell. It is currently residing in the Sierra Madre Mountains in California, and is building an army of corrupted weres (part human, part were, part GOO essence - nicknamed "Voodoo Wolves" by Jericho) with the intention of eventually repeating the spell. However, as of December 2006 it is not ready to enact the spell as it needs lots of "gifted minions" to accomplish the spell, and a large blood sacrifice to make the magic work.
