Biography:
In The Poison Garden, Ash is annoyed that the squabbling between Owen and Lugh is delaying the colonization project. He emanates another set of brother engineers, Barnabas and Ethan. They are not emanated for an afternoon before Ethan is kidnapped at nullet-point by Lilith. Tara wants to rush into the situation, but Barnabas, concerned for her safety, restrains her. The High Council is paralyzed, not knowing whether to obey the Matriarch or the Archon, allowing Lilith time to escape.
Barnabas is able to sense Ethan’s location and stations troops to intercept Lilith. He then buckles over – Ethan is imprisoned in a nul-cage, and Barnabas can feel it. He relays a message from Seth to consult the Twist – and then Ash replaces him with Lugh and Ethan with Owen.
As of The Perpetual Rose, Barnabas is still a virgin. Both he and Ethan are experiencing an existential crisis – they don’t understand their purpose in the grove other than as copies of Owen and Lugh. Barnabas helps to design the glowkrill, but is otherwise not involved in the main action.
