The boss of this chapter is an unnamed barbarian warlord. In Chapter VIII, Vitallion identifies this character type as "shield infantry", and they pose a threat to the Roman formation holding the courtyard and must be killed quickly with the scorpio. His character model is used by shielded barbarians throughout the game after this point, becoming one of the most common enemies. His guard can be easily broken by a simple combination of shield bashing and standard attacks, opening him up to being executed. He is the first shielded barbarian encountered in the game. A true mini-boss, a large barbarian with a shield, is the first enemy Marius faces after falling behind Leontius and being temporarily separated. Leontius can be interpreted as a mini-boss during the training session at the start of the chapter. There is no official boss for this chapter. His character model, an un-shielded soldier with a hood, is used in proceeding chapters to identify barbarians capable of performing this power attack. He is no different from the standard barbarian soldier aside from the fact that he is capable of performing a power attack that cannot be blocked, but can be preempted by a shield bash if executed quickly. He uses a torch to ignite pitch spread across the floor in the palace throne room and traps Marius. Chronologically, he is also the last barbarian Marius ever fights. The boss of this chapter is a barbarian warlord and is the last enemy encountered in this chapter.
