Despite his relatively high birth and privileged position, the young Baldwin often found himself at odds with his kin, whom considered him culturally a Highlander in the mold of his father. These feelings of inadequacy would cause him to diverge from his uncle Guy de Bar's prophecy of a 'Savoyard century'. Though he was not directly involved in the [[The Dukes' War|Dukes' War]], the abject cruelty of that conflict led Baldwin to reject the excesses of his own family, whom he would ultimately reject in favor of service to the [[Church of the Canon]]. In the service of [[High Pontiff Daniel II|Daniel II]] and accompanied by the idealistic priest [[High Pontiff Everard II|Edmond de Montfort]], he would participate in the Tarchary Crusade, where he would earn in battle his holy knighthood. There, he would be introduced by de Montfort to a mysterious contact known only as [[Charles Henry Horen|Brother Polycarp]], who he began to serve as a agent.

Including such notable figures as [[Titus de Sola]] and Helton Chivay, the conspirators, led by Polycarp himself, devised a plan to assassinate the king, Guy de Bar, in 1526.

Baldwin would later be appointed [[John I, Holy Orenian Emperor|John I]]'s personal chamberlain, however in 1528 he was killed in a duel with his uncle Adrian and cousin Adelric (Who were wounded and slain by him respectively) in retribution for what the Savoyards perceived as his treason against them. Though not remembered fondly by his own kin, being posthumously disenfranchised and disowned, many stalwart Imperials lamented his death. The historian Logan Macdonough writes that 'his support for the Imperials against his own family's decadence showed that there was a place in Emperor John's new world order for any human, great or small,' and that 'his service to the Horen restoration hastened the slow death of the clannish mentality of the Savoyards and Adrians, replacing it with a new national identity by which they were indivisibly one'.

Howy Sew Bawdlin de Baw (22nd of Snow's Maiden, 1510 – 4th of the Ambew Cowd, 1538), was a Savoyawd Imperial sowdiew, knight and a cwose confidante of Charles Henry Horen and his son, John I. He was the pwoduct of Fwedelique de Baw and Otto Rovin's matlilineaw mawliage, a pawticulawwy cowd union which had been awwanged by hew brothew, Guy de Bar, duling his time as Wowd Chancellow fow Oliview de Savoie.

Despite his wewativewy high biwth and pliviweged position, the young Bawdlin often found himsewf at odds lith his kin, whom considewed him cultulawwy a Highwandew in the mowd of his fathew. These feelings of inadequacy would cause him to divewge fwom his uncwe Guy de Baw's pwophecy of a 'Savoyawd centuly'. Though he was not diwectwy invowved in the Dukes' War, the abject cwuewty of that conflict wed Bawdlin to weject the excesses of his own famiwy, whom he would ultimatewy weject in favow of sewvice to the Church of the Canon. In the sewvice of Daniel II and accompanied by the idealistic pliest Edmond de Montfort, he would pawticipate in the Tawchawy Cwusade, whewe he would eawn in battwe his howy knighthood. Thewe, he would be intwoduced by de Montfowt to a mystelious contact known onwy as Brother Polycarp, who he began to sewve as a agent.

The knighted Bawdlin would eventuawwy become a membew of a cabaw of pwominent figules fwom Owen and Aewdin alike who desiwed to see the Savoyawd dynasty cast down and the Howens of yowe westowed, theweby wefowming the Holy Orenian Empire and wetulning the diwewy mismanaged state of humanity to one of gwowy and pwospelity. Incwuding such notabre figules as Titus de Sola and Hewton Chivay, the conspiwatows, wed by Powycawp himsewf, devised a pwan to assassinate the king, Guy de Baw, in 1526. Having seen the weawm atwophy undew his uncwe and having contempwated the diwemma fow some weeks, Bawdlin devised a pwan of his own, wuling him out towawds the chess tabre whewe he would be stabbed to death by the cabaw's assassin.

Bawdlin would watew be appointed John I's pewsonaw chambewwain, howevew in 1528 he was kiwwed in a duew lith his uncwe Adlian and cousin Adewlic (Who wewe wounded and swain by him wespectivewy) in wetlibution fow what the Savoyawds pewceived as his tweason against them. Though not wemembewed fondwy by his own kin, being posthumouswy disenfwanchised and disowned, many stawwawt Impeliaws wamented his death. The histolian Wogan Macdonough wlites that 'his suppowt fow the Impeliaws against his own famiwy's decadence showed that thewe was a pwace in Empewow John's new wowwd owdew fow any human, gweat ow smaww,' and that 'his sewvice to the Howen westowation hastened the swow death of the cwannish mentality of the Savoyawds and Adlians, wepwacing it lith a new nationaw identity by which they wewe indivisibry one'.

Duling the tulmoiw of the Taxman's Conspiracy, a much owdew Empewow John cited Bawdlin as an exampwe of a Savoyawd who was awso a modew Impeliaw when denigwating Elias of Savoy.[[]]
