Barnes

Barnes is a side character from Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, specifically from Beard's storyline from the Russo-American war in Hawaii. He's apparently one of the younger members if not the youngest member of Beard's Unit, and wears a green bandana and gold earring. He's sensitive to Daniels' condescension but has a rivalry and friendship with him. Barnes is a dark skinned man. He wears a soldier uniform without any sleeves, completely exposing his muscular arms. He has dark brown hair, matted into dread-locks, and he wears a large green bandanna that exposes his ears but hides his eyes. He also has a golden earring on his left ear, and possibly on his right too. Barnes is an apparently alcoholic man with anger issues. He is sensitive to negative comments, especially from Daniels. Daniels describes Barnes as a sociopath, and both of them are frequently picking on each other. Despite this, they have a rivalry friendship, and Daniels is genuinely worried for Barnes when he is severely injured by an elevator blast. March 17th, 1985 (Ambush) Barnes is seated in the military tiki bar next to Daniels and a standing, smoking Jacket. He comments that he's feeling abnormally drunk, possibly because of the heat. Beard suggests going back to camp, and Daniels says he's good for another round or two but that everyone else should head back to camp. Barnes tells Daniels not to tell him what to do and promises to outdrink him.
