Out of all the men in this fortress, Barnabus is the only one who doesn’t make me roll my eyes with the tired come-ons. Maybe that’s why I resisted his charms for so long. You stay in a place like this long enough and you forget what it’s like to be around someone who actually shows you who they are. Unfortunately, in his case, that also comes with really terrible jokes.

Biography

Barnabus has several tales he tells people regarding his arrival to Cerilyn. Some hear that he was snatched in a raid like his partner Giselle. Others swear he’s said that he enlisted voluntarily to get away from a dire situation on his home planet. The truth is somewhere in the middle, of course, since Barnabus was barely twelve when his hometown was raided and he saw an opportunity for a better life.

While he’s good at his job and has had to kill a number of people through his life as a mercenary, Barnabus has never forgotten who he is or who other people need him to be. His trustworthy nature makes him popular for group missions, leading younger mercenaries in their training, and filling in as the chief’s bodyguard when necessary. As he’s gotten older, Barnabus spends more time in the fortress and less time making money. That’s fine with him, though. Not only is he good at saving his pay, but he likes getting to spend more time with Giselle… and talking about retiring together one day.
