Baran is first introduced as the '''Dragon Master General''', the general of the [[dragon family|dragon]] legion of [[Hadlar]]'s Dark Army. Baran holds an unyielding grudge towards humans for how they treated him and his family in the past. Due to this grudge, Baran decided that humanity needed to be cleansed from the world, and thus he joined the Dark Army.

Baran holds an unyielding grudge towards humans for how they treated him and his family in the past. Due to this grudge, Baran decided that humanity needed to be cleansed from the world, and thus he joined the Dark Army.


Baran is a Dragon Knight, a lineage of warriors that is supposed to bring balance to the world. Due to their immense power, the gods only allow one Dragon Knight to be born each generation. However, something special happened during Baran's time. Fifteen years prior to the start of Dai's adventure, Baran was supposed to deal with [[Hadlar]] who was threatening the balance in the world but it was a [[Avan|human hero]] who vanquished Hadlar instead. Meanwhile, Baran was in the underworld fighting [[Velzar]], the last intelligent dragon who sought to conquer the world. After vanquishing the dragon, Baran was mortally wounded so he used his remaining strength to find the Fountain of Miracles, which is said to heal Dragon Knights. He got close to the water, but his exhaustion forbid him from reaching it. It was then he met [[Soala]], a young human woman who helped him drink from the healing fountain. Soala was the princess of the Kingdom of Alkeed. They eventually fell in love while Baran recovered from battle, and had Soala's father approval. However some vassals who didn't like a foreigner getting closer to the throne came to conspire against him. Due to his non-human nature and the recent memory of what [[Hadlar|a darkling]] tried not long ago, Baran was banished from the kingdom, but before leaving, Soala revealed to him that she was pregnant.

==Trivia==
Omni-Man from the US comic series ''Invincible'' shares many traits with Baran, which has inspired a number of crossover fanworks. Notoriously, the overlapping broadcasts of both series' animated adaptations led to ''two'' episodes airing in the same week where a monstrously powerful mustachioed "hero" in a red costume brutally assaulted his half-human son for daring to side with humanity.
