Barney is a man who was once the definition of "jovial." He’s a big, broad-shouldered man with a booming laugh that used to shake the rafters. Now, he is a ghost of himself.
- Appearance: He’s usually seen in a stained apron, but since the raid, he hasn't taken it off. His eyes are bloodshot, and his hands won't stop shaking—which is dangerous, as he’s spent his time obsessively sharpening a rusted old boar spear behind the bar.
- The Relationship: Mila was his everything. His wife passed years ago (perhaps from a "wasting sickness" caused by a minor leyline leak), and Mila ran the hospitality side of the inn while he handled the brewing and the heavy lifting.
- The Conflict with the League: Barney is currently furious with Crown-Captain Valerius. The Captain is eating Barney’s stew and sleeping in Barney’s rooms while claiming his "orders" prevent him from pursuing the Goblins
