Baran, the Crusader
Quest(s)	Picking Up the Pieces The Crusader

Baran, the Crusader is one of the Elderslayers / Conquerors of the Atlas. He serves as one of the end-game bosses of the Atlas.

Lore

He is the younger brother of Officer Kirac. In Picking Up the Pieces, Kirac asked the player to investigate The Templar Laboratory to search what Baran and Zana were doing.

Upon rebuilding a map device, Kirac would ask the player to search Baran in Maps (Chasing a Dream quest). The player found Zana instead in an abandoned Citadel of a Map. Then the player found Baran in the corner regions of the Atlas in The Crusader.

The player encountered Baran several times but in the first few, Baran escaped. In the final fight the player beat Baran and ending the quest. (Baran can be re-spawned even after the quest as well as after the last Conqueror fight as re-playable content, but not tied to the lore)

Dialogue

Upon defeating Baran in highest difficulty, he spoke:

Kirac...sent you? You must keep him out of the Atlas...I cannot be saved...he will find only his own doom, endlessly pursuing my rescue...he will end up...like me...

Tell Zana...she was right...to seal us away...Sirus must never...be...
