I find it hard to articulate my full thoughts on the baron of bricks but what I'm about to say is gonna probably sound quite controversial. He had the same general objective as the princesses, just slightly different.

They both want to reverse the inevitable, due to being consumed by grief and pain, and take out their rage on the reality-transcending beings that they deem as having brought this pain upon them. The third pig sought control over the narrative and so do the princesses. As of now its still a little unclear what the full plan of the princesses IS, but we know they're going against their 'fate'.

I think a few of the readings I've seen on the baron have been... idk how to describe it, I guess shallow ? They all come to the conclusion that he was just greedy and an asshole and wanted to inflict pain on the wolf, but it's so much more interesting than that. I might be reading into things too much, but it's glaringly obvious that he was stuck in mourning and had been for years now. He's gained awareness over his entire existence and beyond and we don't even know how long he's had it. He knows he will always be the only survivor in his story and he feels *guilty*. He feels angry at the wolf but he also seemingly feels angry at his brothers, who died because they couldn't be bothered with building a well-structured house, but he can't allow himself to feel that anger because his brothers are gone and he loved them. It hurts feeling anger that will never end, and love that manifests as guilt. So, tormented by all the emotions he can't allow himself to feel, he directs his anger at the only thing within his reach. The wolf. He's cowardly and cruel, but it's all he has left.

I don't disagree with the party's decision to kill him, but this story is a complex one and everyone has their own perspective. The baron doesn't have the context Ylfa does, to him the wolf has only ever caused pain.

i'm just a shell of a person. i have no desires. i don't want to do anything. get attached to anyone. leave my house. live. just want to physically fade the same way my mind has.

Perhaps a child failed by their parents has their own failure ordained.

Lucio himself is a fascinating character to study, but people’s reactions to him is equally as interesting.

Specifically whether or not someone believes he has the right to be redeemed, and consequently if the horrible things that have happened to him are worthy of sympathy or not because he is who they happened to.
