Chapter 12: The Enemy
Sir Barchus lead the search party to hunt the Black Sword after a rally in Thanacross’ town, proclaiming that they had killed again. After being tricked into ingesting a Tonic of Truth by Jack, Sir Barchus confesses that the Black Sword didn’t exist at all and in fact the whole thing was a conspiracy to manipulate the populace. Upon realizing what he had done, Barchus named Wagner and began to slaughter everyone in the search party so the truth could not get out, intending to blame he massacre on the Black Sword. He was then interrupted by both Nicole,using the Captain's Hat to pose as a Thanacross official and announcing she had important information to share with him,to which he instructed her to get behind him, and Pippin telling him that he could be arrested for participating in security fraud on a major transport route, and the Crown would be alerted upon his death and that Barchus should just let him go, as it would be a hassle for everyone involved if he were to report the crime. Mika then began shooting arrows at Barchus' hand, causing him to drop Wagner. After a bloody fight with the search party men who remained, directed by Pippin, Pippin eventually knocked him off his horse and decapitated his prostrate body.
