He was mutated by At the end of ''Gundalian Invaders'', despite losing to [[Code EveDan Kuso]] into an armored form and took [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]], he attempts to claim the Sacred Orb nonetheless, but is seemingly destroyed in the process. However, in next season, he is revealed to be the name true identity of Mag Mel, after being mutated by [[Mag MelCode Eve]]. He started to have a connection with Dan and Drago, who are linked to Chaos Energy that spawn and free several robotic creatures called Mechtogan.

==Information==He was born into a family that had ruled over [[Gundalia]] for generations. He was Barodius, along with the leader rest of the evil [[Twelve Orders]] who reigned over Gundalia and who sought to conquer , appeared as a [[Neathia]]. Barodius had been able to rule Gundalia because List of his overwhelming strength and special ability to execute battles simultaneously. When Barodius took the throne, he decided to change many of his [[Emperor Barodius' FatherBakugan Dimensions NPCs|fathernon-playable character]]in ''s policies, most notably the seeking the [[Sacred Orb]] despite his father having feared its power. This act sparked the [[Neathian-Gundalian WarBakugan Dimensions]]''.

Barodius is a power-hungry tyrant, seeking the Sacred Orb in spite of his father's fear of it. Because of his obsession with it, he ignores and ignoring all of Nurzak's warnings. He has no respect towards his late father, believing him to be superstitious and weak. He also has an interest in the [[Dark Bakugan]]'s [[Forbidden Power]]s, which was the reason why he was willing to keep Ren. He is a deceitful man, willing to use those who he deems useful to him until he has no more use of them.

He is impatient and has zero tolerance for failure and foolish behavior, punishing Sid for losing the Element. His favoritism towards certain individual individuals overrides his judgement and any semblance of friendship he has with others; after finding out [[Gill ]], his longtime friend and confidant, killed [[Kazarina]], he has both Gill and [[Airzel ]] killed.

He is a deceitful man, willing to used others who were deemed useful to him. He also tends to lose patience when things don't go well for him. Despite his arrogantarrogance, he was willing acknowledge his opponent's who power is strong, such as Dan's Drago. Nevertheless, he is a sore loser and attempts to take the Sacred Orb in spite of his defeat to Dan, which caused him and [[DragoPhantom Dharak]]to be trapped in prison in a reverse dimension. As the result of the evil in his heart, he is mutated into Mag Mel.

Barodius is ultimately proven to be a sore loserIn mutated form, he remains the self-absorbed, power-hungry freak as before. After he came into contact with the Sacred Orb, he's willing wants to take the Sacred Orb in spite power of his defeat by [[Dan Kuso]]'s Gate and Key to surpass even Code Eve herself, which caused him, and [[Phantom Dharak]] though he fears Dan's power to allow Drago to be trapped in prison in a reverse dimensionevolve even further. As  Like before, he cares nothing for his subordinates, absorbing the result lifeforce of and killing Anubias and Sellon the evil in his heart, moment they lost their usefulness. Both he is mutated into [[Mag Mel]]and Razenoid loathe being identified by their former identities due to their previous defeat and humiliation.

===AnimeHistory===He was born into a family that had ruled over Gundalia for generations. He was the leader of the evil Twelve Orders who reigned over Gundalia and who sought to conquer [[Neathia]]. Barodius had been able to rule Gundalia because of his overwhelming strength and special ability to execute battles simultaneously. When Barodius took the throne, he decided to change many of his [[Barodius' Father|father]]'s policies, most notably the seeking the [[Sacred Orb]] despite his father having feared its power. This act sparked the [[Neathian-Gundalian War]]. It has been stated that Barodius disliked his father a great deal, such as when he called his father a "superstitious old fool," and laughed insanely when he destroyed his father's portrait. He wanted the Sacred Orb so he could obtain the [[DNA Code]] of every [[Bakugan]] in existence, his ultimate goal being to create the most powerful Bakugan in the universe with which he would rule all reality. His longtime childhood friend and most trusted confidant was [[Gill]], while most of the other Twelve Orders don't trust him or don't agree with what he is doing, but follow him out of fear. ====[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]]====

In ''[[The Sacred Orb]]'', he and the rest of the Twelve Orders were furious with Ren's Team for their constant failures and ordered a preemptive strike on the Neathians. He and the other Twelve Order members fought the [[Battle Brawlers]] on Neathia in order to get the [[Sacred Orb]]. Barodius formed [[Dharak Colossus]] and used him to break down the Neathian's Second Shield. He then met Dan and [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] for the first time and battled against them. In the middle of Dharak and Drago's fight, the Sacred Orb sent Dharak and Barodius, along with all the other Gundalians, back to Gundalia. He wondered what powerful object could send all the Gundalians off of Neathia, and later suspected that the Element was responsible.

In ''[[Code Eve (episode)|Code Eve]]'', he's warned by Nurzak about the Sacred Orb and yet continues to attack Neathia. When he reaches the castle, he wiped out the Neathian guards and goes to confront [[Queen Serena]] personally. He and [[Phantom Dharak]] also destroyed [[Gill]], [[Krakix]], [[Airzel]], and [[Strikeflier]]. Then Barodius travelled into the Neathian Palace, Dharak killed [[Stoica]], [[Lythirus]] and [[Dragonoid Colossus]]. In the throne room, when [[Dan]] is about to tackle him and [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] and [[Dharak]] are about to attack, the [[Sacred Orb]] warps them into a place in between dimensions. He is then informed that the [[Sacred Orb]] is called [[Code Eve]].

{{MainIn all his appearances, prior to ''[[A Hero Returns]]'', he is seen next to [[Razenoid]], seated in a throne and they seem to be restrained by some sort of webbing. In ''[[Interspace Showdown]]'', he appears alongside Razenoid when Drago is battling and appears in Dan's nightmare, telling him to surrender Drago's powers to him so that he can be free. At the end of the episode he says "Dan and Drago have what I need. I need more energy ... I need more power!" In ''[[Mechtogan Mayhem]]'', he states that he and Razenoid are in captivity of some sort, as evident by the webing restraining them. Near the end of the episode Sellon informs him that Titanium Dragonoid "spawned" a Mechtogan, [[Zenthon]], surprising him. He then realizes that Drago was more powerful than he realized. In ''[[Fall From Grace]]'', he comments that the energy he needs from Titanium Dragonoid is starting to flow and orders his "Dark Servants", which are Razenoid's Chaos Bakugan, to awaken. In ''[[Tri-Twister Take Down]]'', Mag Mel tells Razenoid to spawn a couple of Chaos Bakugan for the first time, and he gives a [[Pyrus#Generation 1|Pyrus]], [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]], and [[Haos#Legacy|Haos]] [[Cyclone Percival]] to the [[Tri-Twisters]]. He tells them to battle more to give him what he needs. At the end of the episode, he says that even though they lost, his [[Chaos Bakugan]] performed well. In ''[[Agony of Defeat]]'', he and Razenoid appeared in a vision when Dan was battling Anubias. These visions caused Dan and Drago to mistake Anubias and [[Horridian]] for Mag Mel}}and Razenoid, causing them to lose control of their powers again and nearly kill Anubias. As a result, Mag Mel gained a lot of Chaos Energy from Titanium Dragonoid.Barodius made In ''[[BakuNano Explosion]]'', he tells Razenoid to spawn more Chaos Bakugan and he gives a [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]], [[Pyrus#Generation 1|Pyrus]] [[Flash Ingram]] and two [[BakuNano]]s called [[Shoxrox ]]to the [[Bash Brothers]]. He also ordered them to battle the Brawlers. In ''[[Return to New Vestroia]]'', he appears in [[Dan]] and Drago's vision and makes them pass out. He also finds out where they are with the closing comment "I can't believe that we found them in [[New Vestroia]] of all places!" In ''[[Chaos Control]]'', he makes Razenoid spawn Darkus [[Iron Dragonoid]] and he gave it to Anubias. He also gave him a new Mechtogan, [[Venexus]], as a gift and told him to go to New Vestroia to battle Dan and Drago. Later, when Titanium Dragonoid takes control of his first reappearance powers, he and Razenoid lose their connection with Dan and Drago, leaving them to wonder how they did it. Mag Mel comments that both Dan and Drago have grown much since returning to New Vestroia, and they have more to offer him that he could possibly imagine. In ''[[A Royale Pain]]'', he appeared when [[Taylean]] spawned a Mechtogan, [[Silent Strike]], and absorbed all the Chaos Energy from the battle that they were in and he said that soon, they will be free. In ''[[Mind Search]]'', he saw [[Dan]], [[Titanium Dragonoid|Drago]], [[Wavern]], and [[Code Eve]]. He stated that he was pleased that Dan knew about him. He spoke to [[Razenoid]] and himself, talking about their connection to [[Code Eve]]. In ''[[Re-connection]]'', he talked to Anubias and Sellon about the [[Switch Code]] and sent Sellon with a few Mechtogan to New Vestroia.  In ''[[Triple Threat (Episode)|Triple Threat]]''Appearing in a flashback of , he stated that the energy from the final battle between Dan and Sellon was incredible. He gleefully remarked that it was time to "Free us from these shackles". In ''[[Interspace Under Siege]]'', he was feeding on [[Noah]]'s fear as [[Chaos Energy]]. In ''[[A Hero Returns]]'', he is freed from his prison and starts by attacking [[Gundalia]]. In ''[[Gundalia Under Fire]]'', he met the [[Battle Brawlers|Brawlers]] face-to-face for the first time, battling Danin Gundalia and winning. In ''[[Battle Lines]]'', he tried to convince Dan to go after him, but was interrupted by Shun. In ''[[Unlocking the Gate]] '', his Gundalian castle was destroyed. He lost against Dan in a rematch. In'' [[Dangerous Beauty]]'', he sends Sellon to retrieve Dan's key and was shown in a flashback, punishing her for her failures. After she gives him hadthe Key, he kills Sellon, deciding who would get using the last of her energy as a power boost. in ''[[Unfinished Business]]'', he wanted to take Dan's portion of [[Code Eve]] during his battle with [[Anubias]]. After that, he killed Anubias during the battle and absorbed the last of his energy. In ''[[Behind the Mask]]'', he explains to Dan that he used the him to gain enough power to break free from Code Eve's powersprison. He then fought against Dan, Titanium Dragonoid, Zenthon and Zenthon Titan alongside Razenoid, Dreadeon and Razen Titan. It was revealed that he wants to attack Earth and that he is actually [[Barodius]].

In ''[[Behind the MaskDark Moon]]'', Dan he appears with Evolved Razenoid and Mag Mel were fighting with their Bakugan, sends different attributed Razen Titan clones to blow up the [[MechtoganEarth]] from inside and do the same thing to [[Mechtogan TitanGundalia]]s. It was an all out battle. Dan later breaks the mask of Mag Mel and it reveals part of Barodius' face and before their link was severed, it was revealed that Barodius and Dharak were not destroyed by Code Eve as originally thought[[Neathia]], but merely imprisoned in a reverse dimension of Bakugan Interspace and therefore Barodius and Dharak were "reborn" as [[Mag MelVestal]] and [[RazenoidNew Vestroia]], respectively.

In ''[[The Final Takedown]]'', a ghostly image of Barodius appears above Mag Melhe battled Dan and Titanium Dragonoid, snarling at Danwho evolved into Fusion Dragonoid, and ending up losing once again after he Dan taunts Mag Mel by calling him his true real nameBarodius. He is also shownDan and Drago successfully escaped from the dark moon and returned to Earth, along with Phantom Dharakthus, in a flashback of how they were transformed into Mag Mel and Razenoid, as their anger and hatred was multiplied within them until they became incased in an armour of evilwere defeated for good.
