| “ | Giul! You are weak, and you value the weak... But the world lives by different rules! The strong ones always win! Our strength lies in unity, our faith that keeps our flock together. It is through this faith that we protect them, direct them, keep them from disappearing in this desert... But you, Giul... You are leading our flock astray. They see you as something of an icon, there's this aura of rebellion about you, the attraction of forbidden... It is an aura of problems nobody needs. Luckily, your death will dispel it! | „ |
| ~ The Baron mocking Giul about her revolutionary ideals against the Munai-bailer. |
| “ | What have you done to my f-cking rig, you f-cking b-tch? So, you wanted to create a new world... with these? Not happening! Your misguided attempt ends here! | „ |
| ~ The Baron's villainous breakdown, attempting to kill Giul by dropping her to death. |
| “ | It's the strongest... who survives! | „ |
| ~ The Baron's last words before getting killed by Anna. |
The Baron (Russian: Барон) is one of the main antagonists (alongside Silantius and the Doctor) of Metro Exodus. He is the leader of the Munai-bailer, an army of raiders he commandeers who control the entire oil reserves of the vast dried-out Caspian Sea.
He is voiced by Andre Sogliuzzo.
Personality[]
An arrogant Social Darwinist and sadist, the Baron is often noted for his superiority complex, as he sees everything lower to him, particularly his slaves, as weak, and has no problems in beating them into submission.
His capricious, often volatile failure-intolerance often goes beyond his slaves, as he has no problems in berating his own subordinates for their failures, including him threatening them with a death threat if they fail in their mission.
Biography[]
Background[]
When the battle broke out, the Baron was most likely working for Svarog Oil. He and his crew seized possession of a massive oil reservoir and exploited it to enslave the Caspian Sea region's populace.
Despite being a brutal tyrant to the core, the Baron may fully explain his acts by stating that he is civilizing and giving meaning to the "primitive" tribals. Slavery, he argues, is superior to the way the tribals lived before he arrived. Because he realized he couldn't oppress his slaves purely via force for a long time, the Baron founded the religion of the "Holy Flame" at some point.
Metro Exodus[]
The Baron manages to flee and locks himself away in a chamber, forcing Artyom and Giul to fend off his troops. While Artyom battles off more of the Baron's soldiers, Giul decides to slip through the window and capture the Baron. Damir eventually shows there, and the two of them storm into the Baron's room, only to find the Baron dangling Giul from a ledge. Fortunately, the Baron loses his equilibrium and lets go of Giul due to an explosion.
Artyom battles the Baron as Damir assists Giul, but the latter blindsides him by striking him with his staff. While Artyom and the Baron battle on the ground, Anna shoots the tyrant in the head.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Leadership - The Baron is a powerful leader, who leads the entire Munai-bailers under his own grip, and was able to enslave the entire population of the Caspian Desert.
- Hand-to-hand Combat - While it seems that the Baron is disabled, at least that's what it is purported, it is revealed at the end of the Caspian level that he is a capable fighter despite his elderly age, who was able to overpower Giul and later Artyom with his own walking cane.
Trivia[]
- The Baron's title is thought to be derived from the phrase "oil baron", referring to the vast oil deposits he owns.
- Though the Baron uses a cane to walk, he appears to be feigning his infirmity because he can move rather rapidly when necessary. He is also far more proficient in hand-to-hand fighting than one might think, as he has been able to temporarily overcome Giul and even Artyom, albeit in the latter case he blindsided Artyom while the latter was distracted.
Quotes[]
| “ | Gentlemen! I received news of some traveling gang on a train invading our territory. This is unusual, since as far as I remember, we did a pretty good job teaching the neighbors that actions like this end up costing them. These newcomers seem slow on the uptake... Or not from the neighborhood. In any case, we should find out who they are and what they want. I'll call the people that I need separately, the rest of you are to ready your cars, guns and combat-trained slaves. It might be all needed soon. | „ |
| ~ The Baron to the rest of Munai-bailer regarding the Aurora Crew. |
| “ | You f---ing d---heads! What's so hard about nabbing one measly broad with a whole gang? So, she killed a dozen boys already? Well, if you continue thinking with your asses, she'll kill you all, too, and come calling at my door! The tribals are already telling legends of that witch! And if you continue preforming the way you just did, they will start worshiping her, too! I don't really give a f--k as to how you get her! Burn the whole islet if you have to! But if you dare come back empty-handed, you'll be singing falsetto come morning! F---ing cretins... | „ |
| ~ The Baron furiously castigating his own men on the radio. |
