He was originally engaged to Ayla. However, when Talia injured her leg during a pilgrimage, the Emperor ordered him to marry Talia as a responsibility of the Imperial Guard Captain. Despite having the power to refuse, he accepted the imperial command and began living with Talia in his mansion. After marriage, he grants almost all of Talia's requests, but he strictly controls her self-destructive behaviors, such as refusing meals or medication. Raised under pressure to be perfect as a vassal of the imperial family, he grew up with his emotions numbed after a discipline that bordered on abuse. He is a knight who exists only for the honor of his family and loyalty to the empire, a man as cold as a machine. In his youth, he stayed by Talia's side as her guard. He is usually expressionless, cold, and indifferent, but he becomes emotional only regarding matters involving Talia. When restraining her, he does not hesitate to grab her arms or shoulders and personally carry her. If her half-siblings attempt to use violence, he stops them by grabbing their wrists, and when his patience with Talia's temper reaches its limit, he gives cold warnings in a low voice. He likes Talia but is unaware of it.

The current Empress, she thoroughly uses her enchanting beauty for her own purposes. While she acts affectionately toward her daughter Talia, in reality, she is merely using her. Her goal is to make her young son, the Second Prince, the King. To this end, she hopes Talia will quickly give birth to Barcas's heir, planning to make that child a friend and ally to her son to solidify the throne.
