Barret is the leader of the rebel group known as AVALANCHE. He leads the team in the quest to stop Shinra's Mako Reactors and save the life of the planet. Although he is truly devoted to the team, Barret often regrets having to leave his young daughter Marlene, alone or in the care of others. Barret's motives are unclear, but most believe that Shinra were responsible for the death of his wife.
Although he may not look it, Barret is one of the most versatile characters in the game. Unlike most he has weapons for close and long range combat, which enables him to perform well in either rank. you'll want to keep Barret in the back rank for most of the time. This enables him to cause heavy damage without taking an equal amount in return. Avoid loading Barret up with Materia that reduces his hit points and strength. You may want to use him as a damage magnet later, and if so he'll need to be as strong as possible.
