Biography[]
Bobby Bastian was born in San Francisco, California in 1930, and he became a chemist. Bastian was employed as a PCP distributor by the Marcano crime family of New Orleans, with Olivia Marcano importing Bastian and several other scientists to the city in 1968 to deal drugs in Frisco Fields. Bastian was a top-notch chemist, and the quality of his drugs surpassed the quality of drugs distributed by small-time dealers such as Bear Donnelly; he used taxis to distribute the PCP and stored the cash at the dispatch garage, hiding his wealth. In 1968, Lincoln Clay came after Bastian and his racket, and he interrogated his dealers, robbed the taxi garage, eliminated his taxis, blew up his PCP storage containers, and killed his chemists, weakening him. Clay then confronted him at the Duvall Hall Science Center after a bloody shootout, and he killed him with a knife, weakening Olivia Marcano's rackets.
