Barry Burton

is a character in ''Resident Evil'' (''Biohazard'' in Japan), a survival horror video game series created by the Japanese company Capcom. He was first introduced as a supporting character in the original ''Resident Evil'' (1996) and became a player character in ''Resident Evil: Revelations 2'' (2015).

Formerly known as "Gelzer," he was intended to be a muscular cyborg who specialized in heavy weapons for the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.). However, this concept was discarded; because his science fiction elements were inappropriate for the game's horror aesthetic and Barry was reconceptualized using some of Gelzer's design cues, such as his massive stature and military background.

Video game publications have described Barry as among the best and most likable characters in the ''Resident Evil'' franchise. Several publications also praised the character's writing, and he has gained popularity due to his "clunky" dialogue in the original ''Resident Evil'' game. Provided by Wikipedia
