### Sexuality

### Can Murder

Yes

**Baron** is an actor that appears in Storyteller.

## Physical Description

Baron is a bulky, tall human man with thick eyebrows, a hooked nose as well as swept-back, ginger hair along with a full beard. He wears a mustard brown shirt with saddle brown shoulder puffs, a saddle brown belt with a brown, rectangular buckle, a fluffy rose red cape, saddle brown boots and a furry, long saddle brown cape.

In Crown Suitor, Baron can disguise himself as a dragon. This dragon costume takes the form of a large, green lizard-like beast with a short, scaly tail and fern green pants with overalls.

If Baron becomes a Member of Royalty, he gains a golden, three-pronged crown to symbol his new royal status.

## Standard Behavior

Baron can be placed freely on any panel.

Baron is entirely different from every other actor in the game, essentially running on his own code and following much less of general actor behavior.

The Baron is able to kidnap any actor. Additionally, he is able to kill anyone, no matter if he is currently a Member of Royalty or not.

Baron is technically Spiteful, showing resentment at rejections, but the previously stated characteristics essentially make Baron permanently majorly resentful towards everyone at default, outside of interactions when armed.

Essentially everything Baron does in the panels will be an attempt to get the crown sooner, and he is capable of releasing Royals if he does not believe he has previously kidnapped them before in order to gain their approval.

Baron will only marry if the other actor is Royalty. Baron will reject any non-royal member.

Baron will not become heartbroken upon learning of his spouse's death. On the contrary, Baron can still kidnap and kill his spouses without need for prior resentment.

## Standard Dragon Behavior

In certain levels, Baron is able to disguise himself as a dragon, being the only actor able to do so. Through the Disguise scene, Baron will either put on or take off the disguise.

When disguised as a dragon, he will make any actor he comes in contact with scared by growling at them. That actor will usually tell other actors about having seen a dragon, outside of Werewolf. Additionally, while disguised, his identity will be concealed, and he will be able to do actions without being regarded as the Baron.

Dragon is counted as a monster, and Professor will provide any actor a weapon if he sees or someone tells him that they saw Dragon.

Dragon is immune to being kidnapped by most actors, as he will scare any actor attempting to kidnap him, with the exception of Devil.

Werewolf will not attack Baron while he is disguised.

After taking the disguise off, Baron will leave his fingerprints on the costume. As long as the costume is currently kept within the disguise panel, Detective is able to deduce Baron is the dragon.

## Trivia

* The Baron was previously going to be called Villain.
* In the demo, Baron instead has a round nose and wears a mustard brown, sleeveless shirt, a saddle brown belt with a grey, rectangular buckle, a rose red sash across his right shoulder, saddle brown boots and a furry, long saddle brown cape.
	+ Baron also behaved differently, being much more akin to the current character Isobel in the fact that he was truly bisexual and could marry non-royal actors.
	+ It's also to be noted that the demo Baron had a specific, currently unused animation for poisoning drinks and could be automatically kidnapped by Queen with no prior resentment required.
* Baron's resentment towards everyone is hardcoded. Baron never shows forgiveness towards anyone when placed on the unused Forgives panel, despite Butler losing his resentment towards Duke and Duchess when placed on the same panel.
* Baron's resentment towards everyone was only added in the Devilish Update. Before that, he was only able to murder King, Queen, Knight, and other members of royalty.
