Baron is from Brian Blessed as Voltan in Flash Gordon yelling "BARINNNNNNNN" at Timothy Dalton, and not knowing it was spelled with an "i" instead.

Brian Blessed once sent me a Christmas card with "GORDON'S ALIVE" in big letters across it. My username is from Flash Gordon, not Star Wars or Warhammer.40k.
