After meeting him on the third floor of the Duskmoon Tower, he will also always appear at the Arisen's Refuge and The Warriors' Respite.

Barroch also enhances and rarifies equipment and the Arisen can learn and set skills when talking to him.

While he waits for the other Arisen to die, he sells curatives, tools, weapons, and armor. On first meeting the Arisen he tells of a 'game' he has invented for himself: guessing the shortened lifespans of the new Arisen he meets within Bitterblack Isle. Thus the Arisen's symbiotic relationship with Barroch serves both - the Arisen gains rare and improved equipment, whilst Barroch can further his research, obtaining substances from dangerous foes to experiment with little attendant risk to himself.Д«arroch's time on the island has allowed him to speculate on the nature of the strange order found therein - he imagines that some of the foes found there have their origins in the many fallen Arisen who have passed through Bitterblack's halls. Further he welcomes the rich store of alchemickal substances found on the island, and spends his time gathering these and researching alchemy.

Instead he came to regard the eternal life through the loss of his heart as a sort of gift, and intends to spend his life serving his own selfish agenda, not risking it putting the world to rights. Barroch generally exhibits an aloof personality and tells that despite losing his heart, he felt little inclination to become an Arisen, and no great desire to defeat the Dragon.
