"The Breton claims that the Dark Brotherhood assassinated his parents, and he was framed. While many do not, Ji'Sada believes him."
– Ji'Sada TigerClaw on Baraus

---

Baraus Lochrard is the son of Senthe and Staus Lochrard, who were both powerful Breton mages. Most of his youth was spent learning the arcane arts, often practicing with his parents to learn new and powerful spells. A few months after he turned 18, however, a Dark Brotherhood assassin killed his parents, and Baraus was ultimately blamed for their deaths. He was then exiled to Avakir, after a trial proved him guilty despite his cries of innocence. He wandered from place to place, finally meeting a Khajiit named Ji'Sada in a tavern one evening. They struck up a conversation, and eventually became travel companions, travelling along through Avakir together.

Baraus is a rather trusting person, but he is able to tell when something smells of fish. He's eager to travel whenever he can, unable to stay in one place for too long, and prefers to travel with Khajiit, since he believes that they are unjustly prejudiced because of their reputations as thieves.
