  • Baruch was the son of Neriah and a member of a distinguished family in Judah. His brother Seraiah was a high-ranking officer in the court of King Zedekiah. Baruch was confidant and secretary of the prophet Jeremiah. When Jeremiah bought property in his hometown of Anathoth, he gave Baruch copies of the deed, and instructed him to put them in a pottery jar to preserve them for a long time. In the Book of Jeremiah, Jeremiah dictated to Baruch all the words spoken to him by God, Baruch then read the scroll to the people of Judah. After King Jehoiakim destroyed the scroll, Jeremiah again dictated the same scroll to Baruch. In Jeremiah, chapter 45, Jeremiah relates a message from God to Baruch: "I will destroy this nation that I have built—For though I will bring great evil upon all these people, I will protect you wherever you go, as your reward." After the murder of Gedaliah the governor of Judah, Baruch accompanied Jeremiah to Egypt.
  • Baruch is an angel in The Amber Spyglass, the third novel of the trilogy. Baruch and Balthamos love each other. They are angels in rebellion from the Kingdom of Heaven. They become part of the Lord Asriel's army of angels and overthrow Metatron, the acting Regent of The Authority. He is the brother of Enoch, who banished him when he was alive as a human, and who has become the Regent, an angel known as Metatron. With Balthamos, Baruch escapes from the Regent of The Authority in hopes of joining Lord Asriel's army of angels. They seek to bring the bearer of the Subtle Knife, Will Parry, to Asriel and accompany Will without question when Will agrees to go to Asriel only after finding Lyra Belacqua. Baruch's courageous and dedicated nature leads to a fight with the Regent. Fatally wounded and separated from Balthamos and Will, Baruch brings himself to Lord Asriel. After providing Asriel with critically important information, he dies. The last word he utters is "Balthamos", the name of his angelic lover.
