Barrett becomes furious when Nick accuses him of betraying the free world Mindgate fought for, retorting that the "free world" Nick refers to was only meant for ordinary humans, who despite accepting the aid of those wielding Psi powers, viewed them with distrust and suspicion. Finding him deep within the alien facility, Nick confronts his old partner over his actions. The offer is still open."īy The Ultimate Power he is The General's last agent. He then repeats his offer to Nick of membership in the Movement: "I gave you a choice. As he leaves, Barrett reminds Nick that he, too, remembers their old partnership, but also reminds him that Mindgate is gone forever. Nick is not able to truly defeat Barrett, but fights until Barrett becomes bored and leaves, stating that he has "business elsewhere". Here a highlight of Barrett's immense strength with Telekinesis is shown- during the fight in the rail yard, Barrett lifts shipping crates, 50-gallon drums, and even railroad cars with ease. Nick nonetheless refuses to join Barrett, and the two battle- mostly using Telekinesis- inside the factory, and then outside in a railroad yard. When Nick retorts that Barrett and the General cannot carry out their plans without Luna One, Barrett responds smugly, and Tonya Blake- posing as her twin sister Sarah- briefly comes into the room, showing Luna One is back in the hands of The Movement, then leaves. Barrett argues that the Movement is the way of the future, and that The General will lead all gifted with Psi powers to dominate the world of tomorrow. Barrett and Nick argue briefly, with Barrett fully remembering his days with Mindgate, while Nick's memory is still fragmented and recovering. In Assembling the Pieces Nick confronted Barrett within a factory on the Black Sea, one of many fronts for Movement operations. Barrett then exits the room, leaving the bloody remains- and the MP's ID and area access cards- behind him. Get it done! Or your bloated corpse will find its way to the trash heap as well!" Barrett, seething with rage at the General's words, takes his anger out on the two Meat Puppets accompanying him, lifting them up in the air and crushing them with his Psi powers. The conversation takes a dangerous turn when the General threatens Barrett as he leaves to oversee the fusion of the Monolith in Hong Kong: "For that we need Luna One, or all we have worked for will be thrown away like garbage. The Mindgate agent is able to listen in on a tense conversation between the General and Barrett, in which Barrett ironically pays a compliment to his old partner, by warning the General "He's one of the best." The General admits Nick was always powerful with Psi- something Krieger himself has never had. In Unfinished Business, Edgar Barrett is at the same place as Nick. Barrett reminded Leonov that the General expected his quotas to be met and left, leaving a visibly angry Leonov behind him. Leonov replied tersely that he understood, and that the General was already aware of the meat puppet plant's difficulties in perfecting the reprogramming process. Barrett impatiently demanded that the production of meat puppets be sped up, as the General did not have time for delays or excuses. In Welcome to the Movement Edgar was seen arguing with Jov Leonov in the latter's office. Barrett, a physically as well as psychically powerful man, soon became The General's enforcer and top lieutenant.ĭuring Psi-Ops Welcome to the Movement He left Mindgate and joined The Movement, intrigued by its promise of elite status and power for all with Psi powers. Barrett, however, had enough of working for an agency that took orders from "humans"- governments run by people who had no Psi powers. With the end of the Cold War came a new age for Mindgate as agents from behind the Iron Curtain could now be reached. He excelled in Psi training, and while he gained knowledge of and ability with all other known Psi powers, Barrett continued to specialize in Telekinesis.īarrett in time became disillusioned with Mindgate and its cooperation with the United Nations. However, it is hinted he had a hard childhood, but in time came to join Mindgate when his power with Telekinesis came to their attention. Little is known about Barrett's childhood, or the details of his early life.
