He is one of Jun's classmates and frequently gets into trouble with his friend Ravi. He enjoys bringing up obscure facts to appear intelligent. Barnes is a chronic vandal and bully who habitually covers walls with graffiti, torments others purely for his own entertainment, and is generally unpleasant without reason, including intimidating Ravi to maintain his dominance. His and Ravi's antics occasionally land them in trouble involving Cardbots, from which Jun rescues them while successfully keeping the creatures' existence secret from them for a while. After the Motown Times offered a reward for photographic proof of Metal Cardbots, he and Ravi took up the hobby of attempting to forge fake images.
