Profile

Barkus is the leader of Hera Sensa and father of Animus and Andora. Barkus despises Animus and Andora because they were the cause of the death of his wife. Conceiving twins results to bad luck in Etheria.

Barkus is also the half brother of Memen, husband of queen Avria, and the guardian of the tree of life Evades. He has the power to control other people's minds to make them do his will, even to kill themselves. As the leader of Hera Sensa he also enjoys the position as one of the advisors of Queen Avria of Etheria.

He is the reason behind Mine-a being brought to Etheria.

Personality

Barkus is an arrogant ruler. He takes pride in his powers, intelligence and skills due to the fact that he is the ruler of Hera Sensa and the owner of the Libro ng Karunungan. This is what made him confident in challenging Etheria's greatest warrior, Hera Juvila to make her his wife. However, his wisdom and intelligence were no match to Hera Juvila's skill. In both timelines, lost to her.

Underneath his arrogance, he is a coward who fears for his life. He did not want to join the war in the original timeline until the book had stated Etheria will win. And used as an excuse that they didn't need his help that's why he didn't join.

He does not value his children and raised them only to make them feel that they're worthless to him. He blames them for the death of his wife.

Encantadia (Book 1)

Barkus did not appear in Encantadia.

Etheria (Book 2)

He is the current leader of Hera Sensa. He relies on the "Libro ng Karunungan" to look into the future and train to be strong.

He is the one who advised Avria to do something about Memen and Ornia otherwise her reputation as queen will suffer. He also fancied marrying Juvila and challenged her to a duel but he was defeated.

He didn't join the war at first but upon reading that the rebels will retreat and Etheria will win, he decided to join the war. He died along with Andora during the fall of Etheria.

Sang'gres Intervention

Barkus asked Andora if he replaces Avria as ruler of Etheria, who among her and Animus would rule over Hera Sensa? Andora answered that it is Animus but Barkus says none of them are deserving. Animus died early. He mocked Andora for believing he could rule over Hera Sensa.

It was this timeline that it was revealed that Barkus was the one who found Mine-a. He saw a great future for her. He helped Avria come with an excuse to make Memen believe that it is their child.
