Bass accompanied Miles to Chicago to find Miles brother Ben. At the insistance of Miles, the two then put together a strong militia intended to restore peace and order to a post-apocalyptic world. Monroe's only intentions were to watch Matheson's back and keep him safe. However, in doing so, his actions drove a wedge between them and Miles left, leaving Monroe to command the whole Militia. Bass is military-trained and is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well as numerous types of weapons. After the tower and the Patriots, he and Miles was able to mend their friendship and regain the republic.
