Barin

Barin is a minor character in "Miracula Luxia". He is the older brother of Aimee and serves as a soldier in the city of Formello- one of the main locations in "Miracula Luxia" 's Chapter 9- "King Of Hearts".
== Personality ==
Just as his name suggests, Barin is a noble person whose heart beats for the safety of both Formello and its citizens. This is shown by the numerous scars he has on his body (Including the one on his face).
After the attack on Formello, he is very suspicious of anyone who tries to go in, often stopping them with the words "Stop right there, criminal scum!" and trying to make them identify themselves.
Overall, Barin is kind and caring, but often makes some wrong decisions which lead to him getting hurt.
== Appearance ==
Barin wears the traditional armor of a Formellian guard- a typical attire for the everyday soldier.
His skin is slightly darker than that of other characters in the series, possibly due to having recently arrived from the Empire along with his sister and bears a scar on his left eye, along with numerous other smaller scars under his armor.
== Relationships ==
=== Aimee ===
Aimee is Barin's sister. Like every big brother, he is overprotective when it comes to her safety, often being ready to die protecting her.
Aimee shares the same love for her big brother, often letting him make the decisions that ensure their safety, showing how much she trusts him.
=== Jared ===
At first, Barin does not trust Jared and tries to send him away, not knowing who he really is. Once he does, he decides to let him in, not wanting the Hero of Formello to stay in the outdoors.
Their relationship will be explored further, with Barin most likely warming up to Jared even more as time goes on.
In "Miracula Luxia: The Envoy" he immediately rushes to Jared's aid when he learns that he is in danger, joining Jared's grandfather- Lethal, as well as a small band of Avernite soldiers, killing a small band of Vahnatai that have managed to sneak behind the heroes. This clearly show how much Barin respects Jared now and wishes to ensure his safety.
=== Lethal ===
Even though they have never met before, Lethal and Barin quickly warm up to each other when the former becomes the King of Avernum unexpectedly after King Micah the Second's unfortunate demise.
He is fiercely loyal towards him and obeys every command that the monarch ensues.
As he once said off-panel, "I will always stay loyal towards you, Your Majesty. Even if you are not the King Of Avernum, I will still remain loyal to your cause.", showing that he will always respect him for who he is- a reformed man who fights for the good of his family without a second thought.
Lethal is also a perfect moral example for Barin, teaching him how foolish it is to fight for the wrong side and showing him that every mistake can be corrected. A perfect role model for the young man.
== Appearances in other Stories ==
Barin also appears in "Miracula Luxia: The Envoy", albeit only briefly in the last Part of the story- "Our Purpose."
