#anyways maybe I WILL write that thing on the SoW au with Vengeous and Valkyrie

Going off the Mevolent, Nefarian and Vile asks.

Baron was so underutilised and it makes me so mad. Baron and Valkyrie would have been hilarious

Oh my god yes I’ve actually considered talking about this in my SoW au because I have IDEAS for what his and Valkyrie’s relationship could be like if it was fleshed out more or if they got to spend more time together.

I wasn’t particularly big on Baron when he first appeared in book 2, but I honestly think that mr. “just wants to serve his religion” had a LOT of potential for character development, especially with how much of the series revolves around proving the Faceless Ones as gods unworthy of worship. We spend so long building up this guy who loves his gods so much, who worships them with everything he has, and then nothing gets done with it. That scene with the Grotesquery at the end of book 2? Where it breaks his neck? REALLY COOL SCENE, would’ve been even more amazing if he had ended up coming back and having to accept that the Faceless Ones have no love or respect for him OR if his alternate version learned what happened and got to learn from his mistakes.

And after book 2? He showed up like…twice? Three times? That first time in Dimension X where Val got arrested and he tries to strangle her, that time that leibniz!Anton jumped him and broke his neck, and then again in Seasons of War when Skulduggery cut his head off because he wasn’t giving them information. Even Vile, lost potential as he was, was used more than Baron.

Anyways you’re so right anon, Baron got DONE DIRTY in this series. Rest in peace king I think trauma would’ve fixed you 😔
