Barker was hired by [[Coil]] to assist [[Bitch]], he grated under her leadership.

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
He later ended up on the wrong side of [[Skitter]] when demonstrated his power at her request.<ref name="15.1 e1"/>

He acquitted himself admirably against the [[Melusine]] suit, knocking the thing down multiple times and turning his throat raw.<ref name="16.4 e1"/> With the arrival of the relief in the form of [[Skitter]], [[Imp]], [[Regent]] and his thrall [[Shatterbird]], the nascent Sons of Bitch would effect a strategic retreat from the conflict.

Barker did not noticeably participate in later actions.

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
While Barker went to [[Earth Gimel]] with the [[Sons of Bitch]], he did not stay long, he may have had issues with living off of the local fauna. The super-villain would go on to find irregular work for different low-level villains over the years. His personality was unchanged from his experiences and as such he was not able to make any new friends.

===[[Gold Morning]]===
During [[Gold Morning]], he was briefly a pawn used by a [[Khepri|Higher power]] against an even [[Zion|greater power]]. Against all odds and reason he survived, though he chose not to wear the yellow armband as many did.<ref name="R1">Didn't stick around team Rachel for the timeskip/living off of Buffalo in an unoccupied Earth. Went on to find less-than-steady employment as a henchman and lieutenant for various low-level villains before Gold Morning, being an abrasive asshole and doing himself no favors in the process. Gold Morning happened, and he was briefly a body on the side of the humanity, against his will. Survived and chose not to wear the icon on his sleeve. - [https://redd.it/46cd0v Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>
