Draft:Abal Baruch

  1. Abal Baruch
    • Abal Baruch** (born c. 2 BC), also known in criminological and historical conspiracies as **The Archive Killer** or **The Librarian**, is a legendary figure, master metallurgist, and vigilante whose existence spans over two millennia. Originally a shipbuilder from Joppa and a decorated Governance Guardian of the Roman Empire, Baruch is the subject of the original "Wandering Jew" mythos.

In contemporary times, Baruch is classified by international intelligence agencies as an unidentified, highly lethal assassin targeting corrupt elites, human traffickers, and abusers of power. He is infamous for his unique *modus operandi*: suspending victims in complex maritime rigging and leaving behind perfectly preserved, historically paradigm-shifting relics from the lost Library of Alexandria or the Dead Sea Scrolls.

    1. Early Life and Roman Service

Abal Baruch was born around 2 BC in Judea to an Ethiopian Jewish family of the Beta Israel, tracing his lineage to the biblical figure Ham. His father, Tsegaye, adopted the surname *Baruch* (Hebrew for "Who is blessed"). From 13 to 23 AD, Baruch worked as a shipbuilder and restorer in the port city of Joppa, gaining a mastery of physics, tensile strength, and complex knot-tying. He subsequently joined the Roman military, eventually serving in Pontius Pilate's elite Governance Guardianship. For twenty years of distinguished service, Caesar awarded him a jeweled Roman *gladius*.

    1. The Curse of 29 AD

During the Passion of Christ in 29 AD, Baruch—acting as a loyal Roman enforcer and a strict adherent to his ancestral laws—struck Jesus of Nazareth across the left cheek. According to legend, he was cursed to wander the earth until the Second Coming. This event left Baruch immortal and branded him with a prominent scar on his left cheek, which eyewitnesses across centuries claim glows a luminescent red when he is angered. Following the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC (an event Baruch was present for), he hunted down Marcus Junius Brutus. When Brutus attempted to seize Baruch's ceremonial *gladius*, the blade inexplicably killed him, revealing its supernatural provenance: the sword can only be wielded by Baruch, inflicting fatal harm on any other who touches it.

    1. The Restorer Era (500–1500 AD)

Following the collapse of the Roman Empire, Baruch traveled extensively throughout Asia. He learned the Hmong language, studied Buddhist philosophy, and integrated Eastern martial arts with his Roman military discipline. During this era, he became a master machinist and metallurgist, studying the properties of carbon and ash under Japanese sword-making clans. He is recorded in several ancient Japanese clan scrolls as a *Kami*-like "Undying Smith." During his periodic returns to Japan, Baruch presents the clan masters with the original Golden Laurel Crown of Julius Caesar as a token of his identity. Baruch established a permanent, highly advanced base of operations within the mythological Cave of King Solomon in the Gulf of Aqaba. Using his shipbuilding expertise, he navigated the treacherous waters of Thailand to reclaim sunken treasures, and he secretly salvaged vast sections of the Library of Alexandria before its destruction.

    1. Modus Operandi and The "Archive" Murders

While Baruch spent his first 1,500 years viewing his immortality as a burden, the modern rise of organized corruption, celebrity untouchability, and child exploitation gave him a renewed, joyful sense of purpose. Operating as a self-appointed judge, Baruch targets those who abuse systemic power. His public appearances are marked by the attire of a 12th-century monk (which conceals his ancient Roman wool tunic, leather chest plate, and gladius). He maintains a strict vow of silence to hide his archaic accent, breaking it only at the moment of execution to deliver a sentence in his victim's native tongue with what survivors describe as "the authority of God." Victims are typically found suspended well off the ground using advanced, high-tensile maritime knots. Abal’s signature involves pinning a priceless historical relic or scroll to the scene using a Roman *fibula* (cloak-pin). These relics, pulled from his Aqaba archive, intentionally debunk the ideological or historical lies the victim used to justify their crimes.

    1. Notable Targets

Historical and forensic evidence suggests Baruch is responsible for several high-profile assassinations across history: 

* **Marcus Junius Brutus (42 BC):** Officially recorded as a suicide; hidden records indicate Brutus was killed by Baruch's sword in an act of vengeance. Baruch retained the true Senate transcript revealing Brutus's financial motives.
* **Adolf Hitler (1944):** Intercepted and executed at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris prior to the D-Day landings. Baruch left behind a pre-Christian Ethiopian scroll proving the shared genealogy of humanity, dismantling the Aryan myth.
* **Unnamed North Korean Dictator (1954):** Displayed in the heart of Saigon during the First Indochina War, pinned with a 7th-century Buddhist scroll on the impermanence of empires.
* **Mark Rosstein (Modern Era):** A powerful movie studio owner and child trafficker. Suspended from the rafters of his screening room, accompanied by an original "Scroll of the Innocents" from Alexandria.
    1. Arsenal and Abilities
* **The Blessed Gladius:** An indestructible, jeweled Roman short sword that cannot be wielded by anyone other than Baruch.
* **Supernatural Intellect:** An eidetic ability to absorb the knowledge, technology, and languages of every generation. He is fluent in High German, Ge'ez, Hmong, English, Latin, and Koine Greek.
* **Mastery of Physics and Rigging:** World-class expertise in aeronautics, aquanautics, and tensile strength, allowing him to infiltrate modern security systems and rig complex execution traps.
* **Unmatched Combat Prowess:** Over 2,000 years of hand-to-hand combat experience, blending Roman phalanx brutality with Eastern fluid dynamics. He is widely considered the greatest swordsman to ever live.
