Shadow Fleet Commander
◈ MOTIVATIONHe refuses to watch Mars slowly die. His goal is not merely to conquer Earth, but to seize the source of the turquoise Bayterek Signal rising from Chrome Kurgan and restart Mars's atmospheric engines. With his unshakable belief in the Steel Belt doctrine, he is ready to annihilate anyone who stands in his way—including Cyber-Khan Ilteris.
The legendary commander of the Red Falcons, the military wing of humanity stranded on Mars after the Great Blackout. He was raised in the Steel Belt program under ruthless militarism, taught that emotions are a weakness. With his Quantum Blade, he can create localized event-horizon effects, and with his Blind-Needle capsule, he performs vertical sub-orbital drops from his massive galleons. Pragmatic and ruthless enough to leave his former lieutenant Targan for dead, Barlas descends with his iron armies to wage an unrelenting war against the true ruler of the Ruined Earth, Cyber-Khan Ilteris.
“In this fortress, no child will ever again be closed out as a serial number.”

ARCHETYPE
The Iron Father — Commander of the Steel Generation. Not cruel, but a weigher: on Mars every breath is an invoice, and he makes his soldiers pay it with their names, not their registry numbers. He carries his mercy beneath the armor.
MIRROR CHARACTER
Targan →The soldier he left for dead became the mirror of his conscience. Targan took the armor off and became a witness; Barlas kept wearing it — to protect those beneath it.
