Leader of the terrorist group AVALANCHE, and bitter enemy of the Shinra. He grew up in the mining town of North Corel, where he was involved in a decision to have the town switch from mining coal to using Mako energy, against the protests of his friend Dyne. The decision turned out to be disastrous for the people there, and both him and Dyne lost one of their arms after an attack from the Shinra. Barret had an operation to have his arm replaced with a gun, and learned that Dyne did the same. He adopted Dyne's daughter, Marlene, and traveled to Cosmo Canyon where he learned about the harm the Shinra and their Mako reactors were inflicting upon the planet. He came to live in the Midgar slums, where he took command of a group called AVALANCHE to fight back against what he believed the Mako reactors were doing to the planet.

But with her super shuriken and her special skills, there isn't anyone else you'd rather have on your side in a fight.
