Barista

==Summary==
Barista is an important character in Castle. A terrifying man known to be Baek's left hand in counterpart to Hyuk's right, he is in charge for an international drug trafficking operation that aims to enrich Baek's own faction and circulate traffick both within and outside of Korea, with Barista also operating as a leader of sorts of Baek's paramilitary operations outside, and thus is the one who is most used to military-grade conflict and the one with the least contact with Korea proper.
==Powers and Stats==

Age: Unknown, at least on his 20's to 30's.
Classification: Human; Criminal; Drug trafficker; Member of Baek's faction
Powers and Abilities:
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics
*Analytical Prediction (Fighters on his level can generally predict the moves of the opponent even at a similar skill level, repeatedly and very quickly, being the main method of dealing with weapons, for example)
*Aura (Possibly; Dae-Geon described Barista as exherting a sort of pressure[Castle #80], although that might just be thanks to his perceptive abilities rather than something inherent to Barista)
*Enhanced Senses (Fighters on his level can generally sense danger, fight well with their vision hindered and have sharp senses all around)
*Information Analysis (Fighters on his level, in general, can gauge a person's strength and skill just by looking at them; Had gauged Dae-Geon's strength when he first met him, and recognizes the gap of strength between the Dae-Geon of then and of the one he was facing at the moment[Castle #80])
*Martial Arts (A fighter of incredible ability, he is perfectly able to exceed Dae-Geon in sheer skill, only making mistakes due to injury and anger, otherwise dominating him in sheer skill)
*Pressure Points (Most fighters close to his level are capable of targetting and repeatedly hitting vital points in their fights and using pressure points during combat)
*Weapon Mastery (Is one of the cast's members most proficient and experienced in the use of weaponry, frequently portrayed as a master at combat with firearms and extremely skilled with civillian-grade weapons such as knives and handguns)
Attack Potency: Wall level (A peer of Hyuk and Tae-Jin, Barista is one of Baek's most trusted allies and advisors and one of his strongest men, who is often put in charge with many of his deadliest and most important operations, with Tae-Jin even believing that he is stronger than Tae-Jin himself[Castle #64], although Dae-Geon disagreed[Castle #81]; It was frequently remarked[Castle #82] during his fight with Dae-Geon that Dae-Geon could only last and ultimately best him was due to the injuries he sustained during his fight with Tae-Jin and being careless)
Speed: Peak Human in movement speed, Subsonic in combat and reaction speed. (Can disappear from Tae-Jin's field of view mid-fight[Castle #64]; Tae-Jin has stated that people of Castle, at his level, could fight and dodge faster than the human eye could perceive[Castle #61]; Explicitly dodged assault rifle shots at a distance[Castle #62]; Can kick a pistol, as it fires, away from him from Tae-Jin's hand[Castle #63], and does so repeatedly, quickly and at very close range[Castle #64]; His attacks can match Dae-Geon's reflexes at his peak, even when Barista himself was weakened and not taking the fight to his fullest at that point[Castle #81])
Lifting Strength: Peak Human (Comparable to people like Tae-Jin; Pushes and sends Dae-Geon flying with one hand[Castle #82])
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (Traded blows equally with Tae-Jin, and it was extremely difficult for Dae-Geon to defeat even a weakened Barista)
Stamina: High (Can fight for extended periods of time while injured without much issue)
Range: Standard melee range physically, up to a few hundreds of meters with weapons
Standard Equipment: Barista is one of Castle's most frequently well-armed people of the cast, and while he might be found unarmed or with simple handguns and knives, he can be found just as commonly with high-grade, heavy military firearms, depending entirely on the situation and location; In general, he is as well armed as the situation affords him to be, and even in casual situations, if he is in an area that simply does not enforce what kind of firearm he can carry, he will use assault rifles and the like.
Standard Tactics: Barista likes to play with his food. He is a fighter that, while extremely skilled and observant, uses said skills to toy with his foes and to inflict as much suffering as possible, prolonging the fight if they can resist him minimally and to torture them until they die. If the opponent shows to not grow afraid, frustrated or other such emotions, Barista himself grows angry and attempts to employ his full physical abilities and offensive skill to beat an opponent, at the cost of his own defensive skills.
Intelligence: Gifted. While impatient and brash, Barista is a cunning and extremely shrewd individual, capable of administrating many of Baek's most delicate operations, leading a drug trafficking syndicate and having great knowledge about the underworld not only of Korea and of surrounding countries, but across the entire world, and is very well-informed regarding the details of Baek's plans and the conspiracies within Castle.
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses
