Bardock was a low-class warrior who worked for Frieza's Saiyan army, but he eventually developed a rebellious spirit and started questioning Frieza's actions.
In the Dragon Ball Z special "Bardock - The Father of Goku," Bardock gains the ability to see the future and discovers Frieza's plan to destroy Planet Vegeta, leading to the extinction of all Saiyans.

Though Bardock is ultimately defeated and killed by Frieza, his legacy lives on through his son Goku, who becomes Earth's greatest defender. Bardock also appears in other Dragon Ball media, such as video games, where he often serves as a mentor for other characters and participates in battles.
