The Baron is the ruthless, cruel and power-hungry tyrannical leader of the Fire Worshippers. With them he controls the Caspian Sea region, an area that has been his undisputed ‘kingdom’ for years.
His tyrannical rule is unquestioningly accepted by most of his subjects in a considerable part due to his status as Voice of the imaginary “Holy Flame”, but also because of his ability to keep the competing gangs at bay. Without the Baron, the region could simply end up being left uninhabited.
