Barry Burton
Information
Member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team. Position BUM (Backup Man). In the past, he was a member of the same unit as Chris. After he completed his service, he joined S.W.A.T. before entering S.T.A.R.S. Since joining, he's made use of his great knowledge and experience, and taken up responsibility for the adjustment and resupply of firepower for the group. His personality is mild-mannered and emotional, with a strong sense of duty and responsibility. He's a good husband and father, and while working he worries about his two beloved daughters, Moira and Polly.
Known as a gun nut among his peers, he's quite the gun collector. Privately, he's close friends with Robert Kendo, the owner of the Kendo Gun Shop in Raccoon City. He leaves the modifications of the S.T.A.R.S. Samurai Edge guns to Kendo and is extremely pleased with the powerful results.
In a combat situation, Barry likes to go light: a red tactical vest with a leather holster and a waste pouch with extra ammunition. Unlike Chris, he doesn't wear a knife holder or kneepads. On the other hand, his preferred gun is not the Samurai Edge, but rather a .44 Magnum that he keeps well maintained. The way he treats his gun like a trusty old buddy" shows Barry in his most natural state.
Just before he was dispatched to Arklay Mountain, his beloved family was kidnapped by Albert Wesker, who was acting as an agent for Umbrella. Helpless to do otherwise, he betrayed his companions. But with his injured companions in the front of his mind, he ultimately regained his sense of justice. Together with Jill, he managed to escape from the madness of the Western House, Arklay.
After that, he intended to put all of his efforts into immediately evacuating his family from America to Canada. But he felt responsible for the danger that his companions were in, so once again he braved the dangers of Raccoon City. The purpose of his visit this time was to save Jill, who was investigating the strange Umbrella research laboratory. He boarded a civilian helicopter and headed for Raccoon City, just before the U.S. military was planning to drop a bomb and wipe out the outbreak problem. On the way, he established contact with the mercenary Carlos Oliveiro, and carried out a rescue plan that very nearly cost them their lives. Although it's not entirely clear what happened to Barry and Jill after the incident, it's fairly certain that they continue to resist the evil organization that is Umbrella.
