Baron

"There's a reason I'm here. Take this reason with you, or die a coward."

Baron is a scrawny, mostly hairless tom with deep crimson eyes. He has several scars scattered around his body, the most notable being a curled scar that runs down his back. He has a monotone voice.

## Origin

### ???

Baron soon becomes the leader and founder of Kin, which is a group of rogues living within a burnt down building.

Baron and his Clan are soon invited to the forest by Thaw Stone, who wants their help to force their gang to defeat the rest of --. Baron remembers Wolf as "being like a son to him", but agrees to help him nonetheless. Two moons later, Thaw Stone leads Kin into the forest and introduces them to his rather small clan.

However, when Thaw Stone attempts to command Kin to fight, Baron begins laughing and tells him that he, and he alone, commands Kin. Baron refuses to fight for Thaw Stone not long after. Shocked, Thaw Stone tries to convince Baron that Wolf is nothing but a traitor, but Baron tells him, "There's a reason I'm here. Take this reason with you, or die a coward." and commands Thaw Stone's death, threatening his small clan into joining him.

### The Battle Between Lion and Kin.

He goes deeper into the forest and sends a few Kin members to inform Clay Path that he had three days to decide whether they will come quietly and leave the forest or meet Kin in battle on the fourth day; Kin and Lion end up meeting in battle.

After Clay Path bites Baron's throat with enough force to kill him, Baron seamlessly rises back to his paws, much to the surprise of Clay Path. His gash seems to bled, but Baron holds a straight face, as if nothing happened.

### Baron's First Death

Clay Path is given the advantage to attack. Baron tries to escape -but is knocked over the ledge of a nearby cliff, landing on a bristle of thorns below, piercing his pelt. Due to the attack made by Clay Path earlier, and the fact that his pierced pelt produced more blood, he died within the thorns bushes.

He awoke to darkness, feeling weaker than before. His cuts continued to bleed as he stumbled to his paws, his blood turning into ash as it gained contact with the pitch flooring. As he struggled to move anywhere, a flash of light appeared in front of him, revealing a dark cat with a fox skull on their face. "WELCOME, BARON" He bristled up and demanded to know where he was. "CALM YOURSELF, BARON. I AM NOT HERE TO HURT YOU."

### Baron's return.

Baron set the forest ablaze to surprise Clay Path, who he knew would be there. He then sat alone on a tree branch, commanding Kin to surround Lion as he waited for Clay Path. Clay Path quickly formed himself a plan, and climbed up the tall tree Baron was on, jumping from branch-to-branch to defeat Baron one last time. Baron noticed this and knocked Clay Path off the branch, soon falling off the branch himself and landing in the middle of the circle of fire, where the two would continue fighting. After much fighting, Clay Path finally got the upper hand pinned Baron down into the fire nearby, setting both Baron and Clay Path ablaze. As Baron and Clay Path burned to death, the rest of Lion defeated Kin. Even though part of the forest was destroyed by the wildfire, Lion decided to stay in the forest.
