"Keep your pimp hand strong and your gear fresh to death!" - Tagline
The Blacker Baron (ブラッカー・バロン) is a character in Anarchy Reigns. He makes his way into Anarchy offering help to the highest bidder. He and his assistant Mathilda often find themselves in fights, and Blacker Baron is always after one.
His signature feature is his gold fists, which are referred to as the "Super Sexy Fists of Fire", so named because they can be activated, releasing an eagle motif on the wrists and a cloak of flame.
Role in the Story
Black side
The Blacker Baron is a bounty hunter who specializes in bringing marks back dead. He has a long history with Jack and considers him to be his only rival. The cybernetic arms the Baron uses spontaneously generate flame, which he can control at will. His partner Mathilda teases him constantly.
The Baron uses a variety of punches based on boxing techniques, as well as illegal moves like headbutts - something he seems to enjoy a little too much. Unrepentantly egocentric, he enjoys talking smack almost as much as he loves the ladies. The Baron has even been known to refer to himself as "your favorite pimp's favorite pimp's pimp."
