Baus is an immature brat with inherited riches he doesn't know what do with, so he decided to become what he always dreamed of being - a leader of a gang of space bandits.
He has no idea what he is doing.
Baus doesn't do any work and spends most of his time watching shows or practicing villain monologues while he sends his group of hired bandits to "go do crime things".
Being a "bandit" under Baus is pretty alright. He pays you, gives you housing, provides food, healthcare, and hides you from the Interstellar Police Force. All that for the low cost of occasionally being sent on missions that involve going through multiple near-death experiences.
