Story[]
Little is known about Barca beyond his arrogant and spoiled personality, which was the product of the aristocracy's descent into degeneracy. In the year Vennessa's rebellion occurred, he was about to claim the Harpastum ball in Ludi Harpastum for the fifth year in a row, after which he would take the Ludi Harpastum maiden for himself, against their wills. The fates of the previous four maidens are unknown. However, Venti had awoken to the cries of his people and to Vennessa's plight, and upon seeing how far his city has fallen, claims the ball for himself. After riling Barca up, he flees the scene and runs into Vennessa, who was buying medicine for her sister Lind.[1]
Vennessa, who at the time belonged to another unidentified noble family, stood up to Barca for Venti's sake. Because of her reputation as an undefeated gladiator, Barca decides not to cross her and retreats. However, to enact his revenge, the Lawrence Clan purchases not only Vennessa but her entire clan as well, then forces Vennessa into a gladiator tournament to win their freedom.[1] During this time, she defeats Eberhart's Unnamed Gladiator as one of her opponents.[2][3]
Barca is last seen in the manga waking Vennessa up for her final battle, during which he informs her that she and her clan would be fighting Mondstadt's long-time nemesis, Ursa the Drake. In her hour of need, Venti reveals his true form as the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, and repels Ursa the Drake before telling Lord Lawrence to hand over the city to Vennessa as he had promised,[1] leading to Vennessa's rebellion. Barca's ultimate fate is unknown, but he was presumably exiled with the rest of the Lawrence Clan afterwards and eventually died.
