Successor of the [[Sovereign Rune]], Barbarosa became the 17th Emperor of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] after victory in the [[War of Succession]].
 
Barbarosa was actually born the sixth son of Emperor [[Michelan Rugner|Michelan]] and as such was considered to have held no chance of succeeding the throne. As such, little attention was paid to the young Barbarosa's tutelage and he often played with commoner children and studied whatever he wished.
 
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.


However, he began to lose interest in his empire when he met the Court Magician, [[Windy]], who physically resembled his deceased wife, [[Claudia]]. 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.
