He is first encountered by the Grand Chase whilst trapped in a cage at the Goblin Work Site, held prisoner by Sethek. After he is freed, he tells a tale of immortality and of a hidden object called the Crown of Sands that could not only make its wielder healthy, young, and powerful, but also grant the secrets of necromancy. Arme questions where this artifact might be hidden, but Barakhufu doesn't know, and leaves shortly afterwards. Elesis believes his tale to be nothing more than a joke and gets the feeling that they've been had as the Chase leaves the area. They do not discover the old goblin returning with a sinister grin on his face.
