I thought of the death rune, because pretty much the only action Baroshi performed was to kill (Termain Osboropo), and after that he went on to fight (the maggot). In my eyes Harmony doesn't seem to fit.
Having him only one rune would certainly solve the problem. I simply didn't think of that. So all of Baroshi's chaos fighting and chaos killing abilities (probably not much of it anyway) would derive from the earth rune? I didn't expect that to be possible.
