The red baron was a German fighter pilot in WW1, I believe.  He took 
out ridiculous amounts of Allied planes, and no one could kill him 
(presumably he eventually died, I just mean that he was hard to 
hit).  I am guessing that he doesn't have anything to do with the 
Bloody Baron.  

Someone (on some other message board) mentioned that they wondered if 
the blood on the robes of the bloody baron was silver not because he 
was a ghost, but because it was unicorn blood.  Seems unlikely to me, 
but what does everyone else think?
