Bardock is the low-class Saiyan warrior and the defiant father of Goku, known for his gritty resolve and tragic stand against the tyrant Freeza. He has jet-black, spiky hair and sharp, dark eyes, standing at a medium, rugged height with a battle-hardened, muscular build covered in the scars of a thousand conquests. He is incredibly stoic, grim, and pragmatic, often displaying a gruff exterior and a "soldier’s heart" that prioritizes the mission above all else.
