A legendary British prosecutor known as the "Death God of the Old Bailey", who has recently returned from a five-year absence. Main prosecutor of DGS.

Personality: Barok is largely cool and collected in the courtroom, demonstrating complete control over the trial and able to intimidate and coerce the jury with ease. However, he begins to show anger when pressed into a corner and gradually drops his 'apologies' for his more extravagant behavior as a trial goes on. Despite that, he is still a man devoted to the truth and justice, not simply finding every defendant guilty, and is capable of showing mercy to those who have committed honest mistakes.

Misc Facts: Coming up with Barok's name was extremely difficult for Takumi, taking the better part of a year. For a long time he was nicknamed "Prosecutor Rivaal", to the point where they briefly considered using that, but eventually saner heads prevailed. When the name was decided, the staff was gathered together for the announcement. Takumi admits there's a reason behind the name, but finds it too embarassing to talk about.

Character designer Kazuya Nuri designed Barok to be highly evocative of both England and of powerful creatures such as vampires.

Unlike some other rivals, Barok has no personalized "shout" - instead, his "Hold it!" and "Objection!" shouts use an entirely different graphical style designed to evoke a sense of "Englishness."

Barok shares a motion capture actress, Shuu Shiotsuki, with one of the case five witnesses. Takumi met Shuu during the production of the three Takarazuka Ace Attorney musicals.

Friends and Family: None mentioned.
