Emperor {{nihongo|'''Barodius''' (Japanese version: |バリオディウス|Bariodiusu}}, also known as {{nihongo|Bariodius'''Mag Mell'''|バリオディウスマグ·メル|BariodiusuMagu Meru}} after being imprisoned in the dark reverse dimension of [[Bakugan Interspace]] by [[Code Eve]], is past the sovereign of [[Gundalia]] and the main antagonist of ''[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]]''and 1st arc of [[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]]. The cruel and power-hungry, he leads lead his army in the [[Neathian-Gundalian War]] in hopes of claiming the [[Sacred Orb]]. He leads lead the [[Twelve Orders]] as its [[Darkus (Legacy)|Darkus]] brawler, and [[Dharak]] is his [[Guardian Bakugan]].

At the end of ''Gundalian Invaders'', despite losing to [[Dan Kuso]] and [[Drago]], he attempts to claim the Sacred Orb nonetheless, but is seemingly destroyed in the process. However, in [[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge|next season]], he is revealed to be the true identity of the first arc's main antagonist, [[Mag Mel]], after being mutated by [[Code 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.

Despite his arrogance, 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 [[Phantom 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]]. In mutated form, he remains the self-absorbed, power-hungry freak as before. After he came into contact with the Sacred Orb, he wants to take the power of Dan's Gate and Key to surpass even Code Eve herself, though he fears Dan's power to allow Drago to evolve even further. Like before, he cares nothing for his subordinates, absorbing the lifeforce of and killing Anubias and Sellon the moment they lost their usefulness. Both he and Razenoid loathe being identified by their former identities due to their previous defeat and humiliation.

{{Main|In 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.

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 ''[[Behind the MaskAgony of Defeat]]'', as he and Razenoid appeared in a vision when Dan was battling Anubias.

He also gave him a new Mechtogan, [[Venexus]], as a part gift and told him to go to New Vestroia to battle Dan and Drago. Later, when Titanium Dragonoid takes control of his powers, he and Razenoid lose their connection with Dan and Drago, leaving them to wonder how they did it. Mag Melcomments 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]]''s mask , he saw [[Dan]], [[Titanium Dragonoid|Drago]], [[Wavern]], and [[Code Eve]].

As He gleefully remarked that it turns outwas 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]]'', Barodius he is freed from his prison and Dharak were not destroyed starts by Code Eve as originally thoughtattacking [[Gundalia]]. In ''[[Gundalia Under Fire]]'', he met the [[Battle Brawlers|Brawlers]] face-to-face for the first time, battling Dan in Gundalia and winning. In ''[[Battle Lines]]'', he tried to convince Dan to go after him, but merely imprisoned was interrupted by Shun. In ''[[Unlocking the Gate]]'', his Gundalian castle was destroyed. He lost against Dan in a reverse dimension rematch. In'' [[Dangerous Beauty]]'', he sends Sellon to retrieve Dan's key and was shown in a flashback, punishing her for her failures.

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 prison. He then fought against Dan, Titanium Dragonoid, Zenthon and Zenthon Titan alongside Razenoid, Dreadeon and Razen Titan.
