## History

### Early Life

His life before he was a hollow is a mystery.

### Hollow

Before becoming an Espada, Baraggan was the undisputed King of Hueco Mundo and the original ruler of Las Noches. He reigned over an open court with many servants, and had a large army of Hollows. He was increasingly bored as a result of nothing to do, nothing to conquer, and no one to defeat, thus rendering his army nearly useless: its only purpose had become awaiting the invasion of another force. When Baraggan was told one of his subordinates had been killed, Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen appeared at the entrance to the court. Tōsen killed a Hollow which had tried to attack Aizen, who, stating he and Baraggan had never met before, asked him if he was the King of Hueco Mundo. Confirming his status, Baraggan asked Aizen who they were. Pointing out they had no masks, which made it obvious they were not Hollows, Baraggan asked if they were Humans or Shinigami. When the question was not answered, Baraggan, stating he cared very little about what they were, said he was so bored, he would have split his army in two and made them kill each other if they had not arrived, and welcomed them to his palace of Las Noches.

The Dragon-Adjuchas, White, once stated that it was interesting that Baraggan called a place without walls or a ceiling a palace, asking if it was a joke on his part. Baraggan replied that he had no need for a ceiling, for he was a king, and that the very sky of Hueco Mundo was the roof of his palace. Baraggan used his **Gran Caída** on White when he attacked, prompting the Adjuchas to retreat; later it is known that the Vasto Lorde had White hunted down for "transgression."

## Appearance

Baraggan has the appearance of an elderly man, with a left olive green eye, a white mustache and white hair. His face is lined by large scars on the left side of his chin that goes down to his neck and across his right eye. Despite his aged appearance, Baraggan is quite stocky and muscular, and when standing (albeit with the slouch of an elderly person), he is of a fair size. He wears a regal white leather coat with black fur lining, short sleeves, and three black fur stripes running along the bottom. He wears a golden wristband on both wrists, and a belt consisting of three thick chains attached to a large metal disk with a sun emblem. Overall, he resembles a barbarian lord (of Viking origin). The remnants of his Hollow mask take the form of a five-pointed crown just above his forehead. The location of his Espada tattoo is unknown. His Hollow hole is in the center of his chest.

When he was the King of Hueco Mundo, his crown had four elegant protrusions, which were ornately decorated and he had the skeletal appearance of his Resurrección.

## Personality

Having been the former God-King of Hueco Mundo prior to Aizen's ascension, Baraggan is regal, egotistical, and full of pride. He does not hesitate to impose his perceived authority over others, taking a leadership in the midst of battle. He even goes as far as to openly challenge two other powerful Espada, including the Primera Espada, to disagree. He does not carry his Zanpakutō himself - his Fracción take care of it, as well as his throne. He also has the capacity to be analytical and strategic, such as when the Quincy invaded. As the Espada of Old Age, Baraggan possesses a sense of fatalism stemming from his power, bragging about how death by senescence is something which none cannot fathom beyond inevitability, even for Shinigami. He states everything which can exist for a lifetime cannot exist forever: even the word "forever" is meaningless, for it was born out of the fear of death. This philosophy makes Baraggan quite merciless against his enemies, which he refers to as "*ants*" that he could rot the flesh from their bodies. Despite all of Baraggan's bragging, Hachigen Ushōda suggests that Baraggan is simply another life form that fears old age and tried to escape it; Baraggan himself claimed that he will never die.

For all his pride and power, Baraggan is easily enraged when he is outmatched or injured. Whenever this happens, he flies into a blind rage, and starts cursing at his opponents. He will go completely all out in trying to attack the offender and anyone else in the way, even against all odds.
