Barbas Dud Goose

Barbas Dud Goose is a fictional character in Tactics Ogre Let us cling together. He is one of the Roslolian Dark Knights under Death Templar Lans Tartare. He is the most violent among the Dark Knights, and serves as the main antagonist of the game.

Character Profile
Barbas is one of the Templar Commandos of the Roslolian Dark Knights. He is considered as the most violent, blood-loving knight among them, this is evident as Barbas instigated the Invasion of Rime just because he wants to fight the Zenobian Holy Knight Lans Hamilton, which is stationed there. He also participated in the Griate Massacre. Most of the time, he does not listen to his superiors and only thinks for himself. This led him to betray Dark Knight Lans to take Dolgare's inheritance for himself.

Barbas is a tall, brute man who has tremendous physical power. He is easily the largest among the Roslolians, arguably the largest human character in the game. As a typical Templar Commando, he wears full plate armor with red trimmings. He has a muscular face with long, brown hair. He first encountered Denim at Banisha Castle in Chapter 4 and is equipped with the Earth Hammer, Balder Armor, Balder Helmet and Escape Jewel. Denim's second encounter with him is at Underground Eden also in Chapter 4 and retains his equipment, except that he uses the Brunhild Sword, which Denim can get after defeating him. He also has a special attack that knocks back opponents.

Storyline Appearances
Prologue

In order to search for the direct descendant of the late King Dolgare, Barbas accompanied Dark Knight Lans in kidnapping Plancy Mown. He proceeds with killing the rest of the Walstanians. They took Plancy to Heigm and tortured him for information. Afterwards, he was sent to Fiduc.

Chapter 2 (Any Route)

After learning that the Zenobians are stationed in Rime, Barbas disobeyed Dark Knight Lans and fought them. This led to the Invasion of Rime. Barbas was able to fight Holy Knight Lans who confronted him directly. He was able to defeat the Paladin and took him as a prisoner. Presumably, he fought White Knight Mildain and Warren as well, who managed to escape Rime afterwards.

Chapter 3 (Any Route)

Due to his actions, Barbas was scolded by Dark Knight Balzepho, as Lans Tartare arrives. Instead of being punished, Lans sent him back to Heigm, which angered Barbas. Lans explained to him that Plancy has been rescued by the Valeria Liberation Front and sends him on a mission to retrieve him back. Barbas was able to complete his mission. He continued torturing him until they found out about Kachua. Afterwards, Barbas left Plancy to die in Valley of Death.

Chapter 4

Barbas was stationed in Banisha to protect Kachua from Denim. When Denim attacks the castle, Lans Tartare assigned Barbas to cover for him while he escapes with Kachua. Barbas failed to defeat Denim, but he managed to escape. Lans Tartare berates Barbas for not being able to prevent Kachua being rescued by Denim. Barbas does not make a comment about this.

Seeing their mission has failed, Lans Tartare bids Bishop Branta farewell at Heigm, just as Denim is currently invading the castle. During the conflict, Barbas betrayed Lans Tartare and took his sword against him, threatening to kill him. Afterwards, he took the Brunhild sword from Balzepho and reveals that he intends to take Dolgare's inheritance for himself. Lans did not attempt to dissuade Barbas, knowing that his action will lead him to his doom. Barbas leaves with Dark Knights Martym and Andoras just as Denim storms the throne room, leaving Branta to fend for himself.

Barbas goes to Dolgare's resting place in Eden to unlock the seal using the Brunhild as Denim managed to catch up with them. Barbas reveals to Denim about the truth behind Dolgare's history, and tells him that Dolgare's inheritance is actually the seal of the Dark God Asmodeus and plans to get the power Dolgare had once. He was able to open the seal but was killed by Denim before getting Dolgare's power.
