Successor of the [[Sovereign Rune]], Barbarosa became the 17th Emperor of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] after victory in the [[War of Succession]]. Hearlded as a patriotic hero, he was known as the Golden Emperor. However, he lost 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. 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. Barbarosa even helped the Toran Liberation Army briefly, allowing [[Futch]] to escape [[Gregminster Palace]] with the [[black dragon orchid]]. | |||

He was defeated, however, and leapt from the [[Floating Garden]] of Gregminster along with Windy. He has not been seen since, although his body was never found. Despite this, a memorial was built in his honour. | ||
