Barvata grew up in Kaltariezh and was praised as an academic genius, completing his Post 16 Examination at the age of 14. He attended Lambertupol University at the age of 16. During University, Barvata had joined the Progress Party and volunteered as staff at party lectures, and by 18 he had tried for local council elections but was unsuccessful. When Barvata graduated from University with a Bachelor's in Politics and International Relations, he campaigned and was elected to the House of Representatives as MP for Cavenhelm in 1991; at the time he was the youngest person to ever be elected to the House at the age of 22. During the [[Verlhanz Rothgerus|Rothgerus Administration]] Barvata served in the cabinet. From 2005 to 2012 he held two shadow cabinet positions. Barvata campaigned and won the 2011 Cavenhelm Mayoral Election and subsequently served one term alongside being a Member of Parliament until 2015 where he ushered in major redevelopment of the city's West Harbour Communities, introduced greener methods of transport and established the first vehicle-free zone in the city center.
 
During the [[Auroran-PacificCerenerian War]] Barvata became a prominent Progress politician with his foreign policy rhetoric. He became Leader of the Opposition on his election as Progress Party leader in August 2017, following the sudden death of his predecessor, Arlin Rudiger. Barvata scrutinised the incumbent Prime Minister [[Walter Johannes]] for his [[2018-2019 military intervention in Rodenia]] after the prime minister had promised but was faltering on delivering the 5 Year Post-War Plans. In the [[2019 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2019 General Election]], Barvata was appointed prime minister and led the Progress Party to its first government in 14 years. He followed through with his election campaign and withdrew from [[Rodenia]] to focus on internal matters, but this led to [[Kirk Santon]] establishing himself as Supreme Archon and breaking the previous governments' agreement. In June 2020 Barvata condemned the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances|UCA]]-[[NSTO]] Coalition but quickly responded as a mediator to Rodenia's invasion of [[Puntalia]] by sending the Home Fleet and hosting the 2020 PCT Sani Bursil Summit, which prevented war between the UCA-NSTO Coalition and Rodenia's allies of [[North Ethalrian Confederacy|North Ethalria]] and [[Packilvania]] but dampened the fragile relationship between [[Great Morstaybishlia]] and [[Norgsveldet]].
 
Following the [[July 2020 Kaltariezh attacks]] and the [[August 2020 Kaltariezh police attack]], Barvata initiated a state of emergency which was declared across Great Morstaybishlia to help fight terrorism and civil unrest in eastern Kaltariezh, Barvata enacted Black Alert with a curfew of 21:00 within the conflicted provinces. In October 2020 Barvata came under heavy scrutiny from the Opposition after Progress passed the controversial Anti-Terrorism Bill which gave the cabinet plus executive military command more powers to act against groups or people that fall under an umbrella term of terrorism.

However, during the [[Great Morstaybishlia#Meremaa Civil War|Meremaa Civil War]] and immediately after graduating from Lambertupol University, Barvata founded a localised anti-Delari committee which garnered a lot of support. He ran as a member of Progress in his local constituency, Cavenhelm, and beat the Democratic incumbent Johnery Frawldes in the 1991 General Election. Barvata was a relatively behaved back-bencher.
 
During the [[Auroran-PacificCerenerian War]] Barvata criticised Johannes for two major things; his "use of soldiers like cannon fodder", a very controversial comment that put Barvata in the spotlight of Morstaybishlian politics, and Johannes' handling of the fragmentation of the two Ethalrian nations which put their successor states into a period of recession. Soon thereafter in August 2017 he won the Progress Leader Election. Criticising Johannes on many accounts since the war, Barvata called a motion of no confidence in September 2017 but it failed to reach a majority of seats in the house. When the next election came around, Barvata campaigned across all four constituent countries and put more effort in his campaigning than both Walter Johannes and Paddy Lukamortz combined, later going on to win the [[2019 Great Morstaybishlia General Election]] with Progress netting 910 seats.
