Dhiren Baral
Template:Character Captain Baral is a human officer of the Consulate in Ghirapur on Kaladesh. A monolith of a man, stout and statuesque, with a face that seems to taunt those around it for being of lesser handsomeness. Tasked with persecuting crimals who are smuggling aether.
Secretly a mage with anti-fire magic of his own, he was tasked to persecute Chandra Nalaar for using fire magic. He stabbed Kiran Nalaar in the belly and torched Burnarat, the village where Chandra and her parents had been hiding. In his official story, Chandra was blamed for the fire and the death of her parents.
When Baral tried to execute Chandra at Ghirapur, the threat ignited her planeswalker's spark and she planeswalked to Regatha. [1] The ignition of her spark burned Baral's face, leaving him deformed and scarred and with an even more obsessive hatred of the Nalaars.
Baral continued to torment the captured Pia Nalaar, telling her that he had killed her daughter repeatedly over the course of many months.[2]
