Hence the thermal tracking via diodes and pass transistor into voltage regulator circuit  regulates the amount of bias applied to the base of the transistor thus holding it at the desired bias(.560ish of a volt).


The 2sc2879 that I've biased usually draw around 250ma idle current and should remain very near that if your regulation scheme is any good.
