History: The origins of the man known as Barbarus are currently a mystery. He is apparently a human who was born in the Savage Land, a hidden "lost world" in Antarctica, and was mutated to his current form in some as-yet unexplained manner.
He and the other Savage Land Mutates first clashed with the mutant adventurers known as the X-Men on the latter's first trip to the Savage Land. The Mutates' mysterious "Master" ordered them to attack the visiting X-Men, but they were defeated.
Barbarus has since been seen with the other Savage Land Mutates in their subsequent clashes with the Avengers and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Role-Playing Notes:
Barbarus is one of the more brutish Mutates. He is loyal to the team, especially Vertigo (who he is in a very torrid physical relationship with), and prefers hitting things and asking questions later.

Design Notes:
1. Barbarus, and all the Savage Land Mutates, have their social traits calculated for TL8 campaigns. In campaigns set entirely in the Savage Land, remove Low TL -8 and raise Wealth to Average, a net increase of 55 points, and permit them to take 100% of their Wealth as Starting Cash ($250).
2. In Year Two or Year Three, the Savage Land Mutates' Patron will be revealed as none other than Apocalypse. As I am only chronicling Year One at this time, however, GMs are free to make their mysterious Patron whoever they wish.
