Personality: He is calm most of the time but flees social interaction. The war was a terrible time for him, and Barakas does not often speak of it. When he does, he does so with a strained expression and tears in his eyes.

History: His mother raised him in a mountain cabin. Barakas liked to wander the woods near his home when he was young, something he still likes to do at least once a week.

Motivation: He wants nothing more than to rejoin the army.
