But as the years passed, two of Barbarosa's elder brothers fell ill and died to different diseases and Michelan worried his other sons had grown weak and corrupt from their pampering. And so, Michelan came to name Barbarosa as Crown Prince of the Scarlet Moon Empire.

In [[Solar calendar|SY]] 446, while on a pilgrimage to pray for good harvest in [[Kunan]], Emperor Michelan would pass from illness and taking advantage of the confusion, Barbarosa's uncle, [[Geil Rugner|Geil]], removed Barbarosa from his position as Crown Prince and took the throne for himself, sparking the War of Succession.

Despite suffering early losses, including the death of his beloved wife, [[Claudia]], Barbarosa's forces soon rallied from their base at [[Pannu Yakuta Castle]] and secured the throne following a final battle at [[Gregminster]]. Heralded as a patriotic hero, he become known as the Golden Emperor for his benevolent rule in his early reign.

Using Barbarosa's love to her advantage, Windy used her magic to manipulate the empire and soon the nation lost faith in its government and its Emperor.

The [[Toran Liberation Army]] under [[Odessa Silverberg]] rose up in opposition to the corrupt empire, while Barbarosa deigned not to fight, leaving the [[Gate Rune War]]'s battles largely in the hands of the Five Great Generals.

At the end of the war, as the Liberation Army marched into Gregminster Palace, Barbarosa made one last stand at defending his empire using the Rugner family treasure, the Sovereign Rune, to transform into a three-headed [[Golden Hydra]]. He was defeated, however, and leapt from the [[Floating Garden]] of Gregminster along with Windy.
