Biography
Baum was an old general who viewed war as a game and attempts to achieve success through brute force. The soldiers under his command were nothing more than pawns. Fellow general Von Stollen was his rival.
Baum was an elderly & stout Bull Dog Caninu. His uniform was decorated with many medals, showing his long history of being part of the military. Despite standing straight with a good posture, he still carried a cane around. He appeared to be wall-eyed and could very well be nearly blind if not entirely.

Trivia
- Both Baum's and Stollen's breeds of Caninu are of British origin. This is quite ironic as the Berman Empire is solely comprised of German breeds.
- The two elderly generals' uniforms are also strikingly similar to Britain's WWI uniforms. This makes their presence even more strange as Britain was one of the leading allies against Germany.
- In keeping with the food-themed naming, baum is named after baumkuchen, a German spit cake.
