In the beginning of the game, Barry is seen as a trustworthy member of the S.T.A.R.S. As the game progresses, however, Barry's actions in the story start to become suspicious. At one point, the player must decide whether Barry is worthy of Jill's trust. This is done in the original game by choosing whether to wait for Barry to retrieve a rope when Jill falls into a secret passage and later when Barry asks the player whether or not to accompany him into the courtyard's underground tunnels. Choosing not to wait for Barry or not to follow him will result in the player finding a dying Barry at some later point in the game, who will give Jill a photograph of his family before passing away. The player can choose to survive the game with Barry, and Barry's apparent treachery is revealed. The real traitor, Albert Wesker, forced Barry into assisting him by threatening his family.
