* AxCrazy: Not initially, but when Lance beats him in the war games, he becomes ''viciously'' angry, and later tries to kill him with a real gun.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The moment he appears onscreen, he is shown to be a {{Jerkass}} who makes cracks about Lance's dad and beats him to the ground with his cronies with [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Lance not fighting back]] even after he punches him in the face. Furthermore, Arthur's nonchalant first greeting of Lance after he came into their shared dorm beaten up and knowing the perpetrator shows that this isn't the first time that Baron has done this.

* JerkassHasAPoint: {{Deconstructed|trope}}. Disrespectful he may be by making an insensitive comment about Lance's recently "deceased" father, he's still painfully accurate that Edward's "death" is due to his willingness to cross the other side of the portal out of curiosity. However, it's implied that Edward's true fate was covered up as a HeroicSacrifice, with only Lance, The King, and a couple of others knowing the truth, showing the Baron's callous and deplorable nature.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: The King is shown to have signs of this. He let Baron off the hook, despite the fact that he tried to murder Lance. He believes the Galalunian Commander's lie that Lance murdered the hostages, except the commander is working for the Mutraddi and is keeping him from knowing about the invasion.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While taking the word of the perpetrator over Lance serves no end to the latter's misery, it's rather somewhat understandable given the circumstances.
** It's implied that Lance never spoke his own side of the story after the fight with Baron, possibly from experience to the last time he tried to end with the headmaster taking Baron's side for his "perfect record". Even if Lance did tell his side, [[MortonsFork it still wouldn't be favorable on his end]] as the King was likely trying to suppress favoritism upon Lance due to the latter's father being a close friend and the fact that Baron comes from the nobility with good publicity from the academy.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Though he's a good king, some of the events of the show happen because of him: 1). He's the reason why Lance became rebellious 2). He's also the reason why Modula became the leader of the Mutraddi and 3). He's unwittingly doomed Galaluna when he ignored Lance's warning that an invasion was coming and choose to believe the traitorous Commander's lie over Lance. This would later come back to bite him when he learns that Lance was telling the truth.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Modula were friends before Modula led the Mutraddi into causing severe destruction towards Galaluna.

* {{Jerkass}}: Every single thing he does to Lance is extremely despicable. He picks on him, he gets him into trouble, he even has the gall to make insensitive remarks about his father being deceased.

* JerkJock: He picks on everyone he sees as weak.
* KarmaHoudini: He [[BullyBrutality tries to murder]] Lance because Lance beat him in the war games. When Lance steals the Manus armor to try and scare him off, he takes another and they get into a mecha duel which blows up a good chunk of the academy. While Baron receives relatively minor punishment for the fight, ([[CrimeOfSelfDefense as does Lance]]), he was apparently never even charged for the unprovoked attack beforehand. At the very least, he won't be attending the same academy with Lance anymore in order to save face.

* MeaningfulName: It's rather fitting for a guy that comes from nobility to named, "Baron".

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Baron can get away with beating up fellow students and framing them for misdemeanors thanks to his noble background and flawless school record. Even after he failed to assassinate Lance and destroyed school property, he got off relatively lightly by bail and probably transferred to another academy to save face, leaving Lance with all the blame for the event.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Octus is the most guilty of this out of the three, which makes sense because his programming dictates Ilana be protected first and foremost. He doesn't want Lance stopping crimes only because it attracts undue attention, and was perfectly fine with Lance driving a car without a license (and would have made him one if asked).\\\
By the events of "A Family Crisis" he seems to have moved past this mindset, agreeing with Ilana to respond to Solomon's distress call as it is the right thing to do, much to Lance's annoyance.
