Appearance

Barker is described as being an inch or two shorter than Skitter with his hair and beard cut short enough that there was more skin then hair showing.

History

Background

Barker is Biter's partner, they showed up in Brockton Bay to fight the Endbringer that appeared there.

Barker was hired by Coil to assist Bitch, he grated under her leadership. He also ended up on the wrong side of Skitter when demonstrated his power at her request her.<ref name="15.1"/>

Post-Slaughterhouse Nine

He acquitted himself admirably against the Dragon suits. The nascent Sons of Bitch would effect a strategic retreat form the conflict.

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 Buffalo. The super-villain would go 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.

Golden Morning

During Golden Morning, he was briefly a body on the side of the humanity, against his will as many were under Khepri. Against all odds and reason he survived, though he chose not to wear the yellow icon on his sleeve as many did.<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref>
