Barons are high-ranking Fallen who command one or more Skiffs and their respective crews.

Overview[edit]

Barons are high-ranking Fallen nobility who outrank Captains and are only subservient to their House's Archon, Kell, and/or Prime Servitor.[1] A House's Kell allows their Barons to take some of the largest shares of ether, allowing them to grow to several times the height of a lowly Dreg.[2]

Gameplay[edit]

Most of the Barons encountered seem to be a variant of Fallen Captains, ranging from the height and strength of a normal Major or Elite Captain to having a towering height that could rival that of an Archon, and are usually found protecting an important objective or leading an assault in missions and/or strikes.[1]

Barons usually carry weapons that ranges from the common Shrapnel Launcher, a Shock Rifle or even at rare times Shock Blades, Scorch Cannon, or a Molten Welder, along with leading one or several crews of Dregs, Vandals, and even Captains due to their higher rank.
