Barry Burton

Barry Burton}} is a character in ''Resident Evil'' (''Biohazard'' in Japan), a survival horror 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).

Created by director Shinji Mikami and designer Isao Ohishi, Barry Burton was added to the first ''Resident Evil'' game late in development. They originally envisioned a muscular cyborg named Gelzer, before deciding that the game should emphasize horror instead of science fiction. Burton re-used some of Gelzer's design and story elements, such as his massive stature, military background, and status as a member of the Special Tactics And Rescue Service (STARS). 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 awkward dialogue in the original ''Resident Evil'' game. Provided by Wikipedia
