Sadly, Geralt never got to see if the dwarf lived up to his reputation, for he blew himself into a fine mist soon after the witcher met him, bringing his criminal career to a halt before what would have been its crowning moment. The culprits behind this catastrophe were multiple: Casimir's moody temperament, his unfaithful wife and a certain virile postman.
The dwarf's role would be to bypass the vault doors using explosives. True, Casimir seemed an unreliable partner in crime, given his oscillations between rage and despair after learning of his wife's cuckoldry, but Geralt decided to risk it and enlist the dwarf in his crew.
Bassi's method were far from subtle, but no one can deny their effectiveness. His skillfully placed explosives blew the vault door to pieces, opening the way for the crew to grab the valuables within. The dwarf walked away laden with riches and clearly no longer bothered by his wife's infidelity.
