==Appearance==
Ray Barker is a tall, well-built soldier with piercing grey eyes. His dull blonde hair is neatly combed back. He is commonly seen wearing the standard U.S. Marine uniform.
==Personality==
Barker is often known to be rational and calm, in spite of the problems that happened within his own unit, either from the casualties his infantry had dealt with or simply the eldritch state of the Otherside, and showed no malice towards Sorawo and Toriko upon their arrival.
==Background==
Barker was among one of the few members of the Palehorse Battalion to be sent to the Otherside, a month before Sorawo and Toriko's arrival within the world. Due to suffering numerous casualties from his unit, as a direct result of their unfortunate encounters with the Otherside Entities, Barker and his men are forced to retreat through the woods and later to the Kisaragi Station, where he, Will Drake and the other members of the Battalion to set up a base known as Station February.
One month later, Barker later meets up with Sorawo and Toriko, who arrived from the Otherside, in spite of Greg's reluctance. From there he would lead his men against the attack of the Face Dogs, one of the Otherside Entities with the duo's help.
Later on, in their attack against Kankandara, Barker and the rest of the Palehorse Battalion later rejoined with Sorawo and Toriko, who arrived back to the Otherside. With their help, they were able to avoid the glitches (bear traps), as well as stopping a large-scale Mossmen attack en route to Kankandara's shrine. Their victorious efforts allowed them to escape the Otherside through the shrine that Kankandara used to be, thanking Sorawo and Toriko for their assistance.
