Aaron Barcai was the mayor of [[Schradt]] and foster father to his daughter [[Ilia Barcai|Ilia]]. Originally born in [[Martylion]], he lost his family in the tragedy that razed the city to the ground in [[Holy Imperial calendar|HIY]] 280. Following this he adopted Ilia and moved to Schradt. | [[File:Aaron was respected in Schradt.png|220px|thumb|left|His approval ratings are through the roof! 36%!]]Aaron Barcai was the mayor of [[Schradt]] and foster father to his daughter [[Ilia Barcai|Ilia]].

At first lost and unkempt, Aaron would work diligently eventually becoming the town's mayor. His compassion and leadership were well regarded and the people of Schradt respected his even-handed approach to the [[Holy Empire of Ionia]], being willing to entreat with them while protecting Schradt's independence and interests. | At first lost and unkempt, Aaron would work diligently eventually becoming the town's mayor.

Adopting Ilia, Aaron would make sure to raise her well, encouraging her to grow beyond her own pain and hatred from losing her family in Martylion and to become happy for her own sake. At 12 years old Ilia would move to [[Therbe Village]] for herbalist training. Due to the close distance between Schradt and Therbe, father and daughter would remain close over the years. | Adopting Ilia, Aaron would make sure to raise her well, encouraging her to grow beyond her own pain and hatred from losing her family in Martylion and to become happy for her own sake.

Aaron was also close with Chief [[Hagar Biarki|Hagar]] of Therbe Village, the | [[File:Aaron tries to keep information under control.png|220px|thumb|right|I'd rather release this news quietly after the midterms, you see.]]Aaron was also close with Chief [[Hagar Biarki|Hagar]] of Therbe Village, the two conversing frequently. He was also ably assisted in his duties by [[Rochelle Kollek]], his aide. His business sometimes took him outside the town but never for very long, though such trips did become frequent in the months before the HIY 300 [[Teras Pharma]] conflict. | ||
When [[Hero (Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki)|the hero]], Ilia, and [[Myra]] came to him to report the Teras Pharma attacks, Aaron was slow to act. He was apparently worried that the attacks would lead to the Ionian Army occupying Schradt and perhaps annexing it completely regardless of if there were any further attacks. When [[Ducas]] arrived to take the group to [[Holy City of Thaksis|Thaksis]], Aaron attempted to prevent this, to little avail. | When [[Hero (Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki)|the hero]], Ilia, and [[Myra]] came to him to report the Teras Pharma attacks, Aaron was slow to act.

This side of Aaron would be revealed as nothing more than a charade when, following the appearance of the first Teras Pharma in HIY 300, Aaron would launch an attack on the Holy Empire of Ionia as head of the [[Vermilion Axe]]. Steadfast in his belief that the deaths caused by Ionia over the centuries were unforgiveable, Aaron pledged to destroy the Yggdrasilian Throne no matter the cost in sin or lives. | [[File:Aaron reveals his true colors.png|220px|thumb|left|Move over [[Tarascio Lucio]], a new Giant Ham has arrived.]]This side of Aaron would be revealed as nothing more than a charade when, following the appearance of the first Teras Pharma in HIY 300, Aaron would launch an attack on the Holy Empire of Ionia as head of the [[Vermilion Axe]].

Though he initially claimed there was no vengeance guiding his actions, he would later admit that perhaps that formed part of his motivation. Still, he insisted upon his belief that the Holy Empire was a greater monster than the Teras Pharma could ever be even as he wielded those same monsters in his cause. | Though he initially claimed there was no vengeance guiding his actions, he would later admit that perhaps that formed part of his motivation.
