Barbarians
A barbarian (or savage) is someone who is perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive.

Alternatively, they may instead be admired and romanticised as noble savages. In idiomatic or figurative usage, a "barbarian" may also be an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, warlike, and insensitive person.
