tepmurt9981 said, “What if the Baron was stabbed to death? He's covered in the stuff as a ghost, so it would make sense that he was covered in it when he died).” 

Karen:
The blood that the Baron is covered with is silver blood. Therefore, I don’t believe it is his. The only silver blood I know of is that of an unicorn. There could be other things that have silver blood that we don’t know about, but I think that the blood on him is unicorn blood. Which means he must have killed a unicorn - a horrible crime. I think that the first definition tepmurt9981 gave was more accurate in describing the Bloody Baron, " addicted to bloodshed, bloodthirsty, cruel; tainted with crimes of blood, blood-guilty. "

But /all/ of the ghost is silvery-grey. It would be impossible to tell silver blood from red blood when you're a ghost.
