As a Demon Lord Digimon which has the appearance of a long-bearded old man, it is one of the "Seven Great Demon Lords". It resides within the heart of the Dark Area, the den of demons, and manipulates Fallen Angel Digimon to run the whole gamut of evil. It is obsessed with all of the treasure which exists within the Network, so out of avarice, and regardless of the means, it has a cruel personality with a greed that would kill Digimon just for a piece of treasure. It is the foremost and most cunning schemer of the Seven Great Demon Lords, and can easily manipulate the Ultimate Deathmon in addition to Fallen Angel Digimon. Its Special Moves are using its demonic staff "Death Lure" to tempt Digimon into an inescapable living hell, converting them to wickedness, and unleashing all of the Dark Area's evil energies at once as an ultra-high-temperature explosion that burns up everything without a trace (Pandemonium Lost). In addition, even Belial Vamdemon's Special Move "Pandemonium Flame" only releases a small fraction of these energies.

Barbamon is Phelesmon's boss. He first appeared in "Kodou Ritsu", as Phelesmon realized he was about to fade away and begged Barbamon to save him, which caused Barbamon to appear to him. However, he had no intentions of saving his subordinate, and instead decided to rethink their plan to invade Witchelny, as Wizarmon's formidable potential was about to awaken thanks to his encounter with Pulsemon. This meant he couldn't carelessly intervene, thus, he abandoned Phelesmon.

Barbamon is the main antagonist of the game also known as the "Emperor of Darkness". Its aim is to become the almighty Armamon's wielder as a means to invade the Digital World. It controlled Zeed Millenniumon's mind as a puppet to gather leaders for the ROG Organization. Barbamon uses the Omega System to break Armamon's seal by absorbing the Digicores of the members of ROG and even Dynasmon's scattered data. Barbamon's actions adhere to the principle that, according to its own words, the weaker shall be eaten by the stronger in the Digital World. It showcases an extremely maniacal and self-centered personality, and it will further its own covetous goals no matter what.

After Armamon's revival, the former decides that Barbamon isn't good enough to wield its extraordinary power, so instead it eventually turns Barbamon into its own Galactic Sword.

Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode[edit]

Barbamon is Orgemon's boss and one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. After being beaten in battle by Taiga, Orgemon returned to Barbamon, who was extremely angry at its failure. Orgemon promised it'd succeed next time but Barbamon had no intentions of giving it another chance and attacked Orgemon, who kept begging for a second chance. Barbamon decided to allow it, though it knew Orgemon had no chance against Taiga so it ordered it to attack the other aptitude user, Shinomiya Rina, instead. To do so, Barbamon gave Orgemon an item for said second aptitude user. Orgemon then left. Demon then appeared and laughed at Barbamon's scheming.

After Taiga defeated Vitium Ultimate, Barbamon showed itself on a monitor of the Digitower from its rooftop. It welcomed the humans to Hell, where they'd stay for a while because they were nuisances while it took over the Digital World. It awaited for Vitium's destruction to start its ambition. Mikagura Mirei explained to the rest that Barbamon was one of the most powerful beings in the Digital World and one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. Nicolai Petrov soon found out that Barbamon had powered down the elevator, so they were stuck in the control room of the Digitower.

Lilithmon wanted to stop Barbamon's plan as it threatened the balance of powers, but she was killed by Taiga and Rina before she could do so.

On the 80th floor of the Digitower, Taiga and Nico found Beelzebumon trying to stop Barbamon. However, the latter easily blocked his shots. Beelzebumon told Taiga he ran into Barbamon by chance, and was angry at how Barbamon would torture Digimon in a prison. Beelzebumon wanted to take care of Barbamon himself but couldn't do it, so he asked Taiga to catch him off-guard. However, even Digimaru and Beelzebumon fighting together weren't enough to do so, so Taiga and Nico went back to the 70th floor to find a weapon in the cells. Said weapon turns out to be the Digicore of Lucemon, who Barbamon tortured to death, which took Barbamon down and forced it to retreat.

As Taiga and Rina rose to the 100th floor, Barbamon defeated Lucemon: Falldown Mode. He called him foolish for getting trapped, getting injured, and having its mind and dignity trampled upon, all of which Barbamon did to him. With Lucemon fainted, Barbamon told him to rest as he'd take care of his tainted mind by infusing it with "that" and evolve him into an eternal killing machine. Taiga and Rina then arrived, which Barbamon thanked them for, then told them to give him the power of the other Demon Lords they collected. Barbamon explained to Rina that it was the app Orgemon gave her that collected the Demon Lord powers. Rina realized she was a fool. which Barbamon agreed with, then added he diverted some of that power through a backdoor to open up a huge distortion, and he'd now infuse the power of the Seven Great Demon Lords into Lucemon and let him loose into the Real World. Rina refused to give him the power, which was in her Digivice. Rina ordered V.V. to fight, even if it meant pushing her body to its limits, because they couldn't allow Barbamon to succeed, so Rina makes V.V. evolve into Ulforce V-dramon. While barbamon could just take the power, he decides to have some fun first, and wondered how the screams of humans were different from those of Digimon, which he could test on his current enemies. Digimaru and V.V. manage to defeat Barbamon, which surprises him but makes no difference as he starts taking Rina's Demon Lord powers anyways, which it plans to use to turn a fallen angel into a demon - Falldown Mode to Satan Mode. However, before he can give the power to Lucemon, Demon shows up and stops him, mocking him for failing at the last moment. Barbamon is confused as Demon should be sealed in the Dark Area, but Demon had seen through his schemes, even wondering why Barbamon bothered to use the idiotic Orgemon, who was now wandering in the Dark Area as Demon took his application and modified it, so Barbamon only got half of the Demon Lords' powers while the other half flowed into Demon, which let him return to life, even if he wasn't at full strength. Barbamon refused to let his despair and ambition be taken by Demon and ordered him to give them back, only to die.

Barbamon is the main antagonist in the Scheme of the Demon Lords chapter (策謀の魔王篇 Sakubō no Maō-hen), though not the final boss as his plan is hijacked by Demon and ultimately Lucemon. It is also an obtainable Digimon which is evolved from Death Meramon or Vamdemon. It can also be obtained as a collectible card. Its card is part of the Seven Great Demon Lords (七大魔王 Nanadaimaou) set.
