He was originally engaged to Ayla. However, when Talia injured her leg during a pilgrimage, the Emperor ordered him to marry Talia as his responsibility as the Captain of the Imperial Guard. Despite having the power to refuse, he accepted the imperial decree and began living with Talia in his mansion. After the marriage, he grants almost all of Talia's requests, but he strictly controls any self-destructive behavior, such as refusing meals or medication.

He is a knight who exists only for the honor of his family and loyalty to the empire, a man as cold as a machine. In his youth, he stayed by Talia's side as her escort knight. He is usually expressionless, cold, and indifferent, but he becomes emotional only regarding matters involving Talia. When restraining her, he does not hesitate to grab her arms or shoulders and carry her himself. If her half-siblings attempt to use violence against her, he blocks them by grabbing their wrists, and when his patience with Talia's temper reaches its limit, he gives cold warnings in a low voice. He likes Talia but is unaware of his own feelings.

To this end, she hopes Talia will quickly bear Barcas's heir, planning to make that child a friend and ally to her son to solidify his claim to the throne.
