After Baranko's birth in the U.S., he fled to California, where he has lived for the past ten years. He has come to see the fall of the Russian Empire, and he feels that the theme of the fall is the best one to present to the new baranko. He feels that his sword is the key to opening all the doors of the empire, and that he will be able to defeat the rouams even if he has to fight for thousands of years.
