{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed article-table" style="width: 100%"	Hubcap Jones - Father
Barrys biological father and lead singer of the band Love Fist. Hubcap was one of the very first people Barry met during his first days in the city. Hubcap did his best to attempt to introduce Barry to the world of house robberies and other basic crime, despite most of his info being wrong or outdated. After meeting each other Barry would show his support for Hubcap by frequently attending his concerts. In later months when Hubcap expressed an interest in getting into crime, Barry took him on a Fleeca bank heist. A DNA test later confirmed that Hubcap was indeed Barrys biological dad, having slept with his mother Mary Benson once 30 years ago at a Love Fist concert. Hubcap has expressed sadness about not being around for Barrys childhood as he didn't know he existed, but has attempted to make up for lost time by being a very present and caring dad to his son now. Hubcap later became closer to the club and even became a hangaround for a time, he has a lot of pride in his sons leadership abilities after witnessing them up close and is always incredibly supportive towards him. 
Although Hubcaps time as a hangaround did not work out and he eventually went on to join Lost MC, he and his son remain close and enjoy meeting up for a chat occasionally.

Collin is not only Barrys best friend, he is also his oldest friend in the city and Barrys current VP in his club as of December, 2022. Barry is affectionately still to this day known as 'Bawwy' to Collin and the two share an extremely similar sense of humor, often laughing over dumb jokes, doing silly voices together or messing about in their old man personas, 'Pistachio' and 'Giuseppe' while getting up to hijinks. Collin has always said he has a massive soft spot for Barry and considers him his closest person in the city other than his partner Nancy. 
Barry met Collin very early into his time in the city, and was the one who taught Collin how to sell oxy. Collin was Barrys first hangaround in the club and they quickly got close, spending a lot of time together during the formation of the club in the early months. Collin demonstrated an incredible amount of loyalty and protectiveness towards Barry and two created a strong friendship, Collin often enjoying ruffling Barrys feathers by teasing him, flirting with him and poking a little fun at him in an affectionate way. Following the shooting of Barrys son by several club members, Collin included, their friendship became very strained for a while and Barry became distant and closed off from Collin for quite some time. This caused Collin a lot of sadness and he began to drink heavily from the guilt of hurting his best friend. Barry eventually proved his point to Collin when he helped create a similar situation around Collins (now estranged) daughter Cleo that ended in her being shot. Now understanding what it was like to be in his best friends shoes, Collin and Barry finally confronted their issues head on and apologized to each other for their respective parts in each incident, vowing they'd never do anything like that to each other again. After this their friendship got back on track and they became very close again like before. The bonds of their friendship were proven a 100 times over a few months later when they made the decision to shoot their former PM, Irwin Dundee, in the wake of his kidnap of Barry and his ongoing deal with Norman Bones. The two of them deemed him too great of a risk to their club and club members and decided together to take him out, both shooting at the same time. Barry and Collin leaned on each other heavily through this traumatic event and were there for each other and the club in the difficult aftermath.
When Barry made the decision to step up to PM a month later he asked for Collins opinion and Collin assured him that Barry was the PM the club needed and deserved. He told Barry that while Dundee ruled with fear, Barry lead with respect and let him know he'd support him every step of the way. During this difficult time Barry struggled with his mental heath, a fact Collin noticed. Barry actually opened to Collin quite a bit during this period, admitting to Collin about his trust issues in the wake of Dundees betrayal, his fears of Dundee killing him when he returned and even his dissociative amnesia. Barry even rang Collin a few times in the wake of these episodes and Collin came to pick him up and check in on him. During this period, while drunk, Collin went looking for Barrys sister Andi Jones with an AK due to thinking she had something to do with his girlfriend going missing. Although nothing happened, Barry was extremely upset for a while and it did temporarily shake his trust in Collin, a fact he was very aware of. Collin vowed to stop drinking because of this and eventually made amends Andi and won back Barrys trust, Collin being the only person outside of his family to be shown the location of Barrys secret safe house, a gesture that touched Collin and let him know things were fixed between them. Upon Dundees return Collin and Barry agreed to be a united front once more, Barry making Collin his VP so they could take care of the club together and block any attempts from Dundee to make poor decisions as a returning HC member. The final straw in Barry and Dundees relationship was when Dundee revealed to Barry that he had nearly ocean dumped and killed Collin while he was injured and unconscious. Barry was not able to overlook this and went to Collin about it, both of them deciding they were done and were going to let him burn himself out of the club. The day Dundee was voted out, Barry trusted Collin with the news that his son was back in the city, making him the only person Barry shared this knowledge with, a secret Collin has kept. 
In the aftermath of losing two HC members, Barry and Collin remain a united front and are working together to build the new and better version of the BBMC to this day. (And Collin still maintains that Barry will always be Soft boy Bawwy to him no matter how much he changes)

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed article-table" style="width: 100%"	Chatterbox
Barry and Chatterbox's relationship initially started off rocky, beginning with Dundee getting Barry to set Giggles, Chatterbox's wife, on fire. This soon after led to Chatterbox kidnapping Barry in an attempt to get Dundee's attention, ultimately ending in the two ocean dumping Chatterbox. Barry and Chatterbox met once again during Dundee's disappearance, Barry asking Chatter for help kidnapping Detective Baas. The two later became close, Barry developing the alter-ego of Crackerjack and joining the 'Clown Family' in order to help in Chatterbox's escapades. Over time Barry started to distance himself from doing things with the Clowns as they were starting to become more of a gang, but Barry still remained close to Chatterbox despite this, the two often having phonecalls and little casual meetups. When Barrys son TJ was shot by his club it was Chatterbox who reached out to Barry to inform him of this, a fact Barry cites as the reason he has so much fondness for the clown. Barry confided in Chatter after killing Dundee and Chatterbox told him that he thought Barry had always been the leader the club needed. He also offered Barry protection and a place to stay if Dundee came back with plans for vengeance against him. Barry and Chatter had a temporary falling out after Barry stabbed Kirk Jerkems, a member of Chatters family, and attempted to extort 100k out of him with he promise he'd hurt his family (Chatters family) if he didn't pay up. Barry was extremely sad to lose his friendship with Chatterbox as he was his longest and closest friend outside the club. A few weeks later, upon hearing of Dundees return, Chatter contacted Barry to check on him and told him that his offer of protection was still there, opening the door for their friendship again, a fact that made Barry very happy. 
Chatter and Barry have so far managed to maintain their friendship, despite a war between in their groups in the wake of Dundees return, and to this day they remain close and friendly.	
Enemies
* Salem Barghouthi - Works at PDM. Called Barry poor and a 'mother- bitch' when he was looking through the car catalogue as well as kicked his van before calling the cops on him for threatening his life because of the aforementioned 'mother-bitch' calling.
* Willow Wolfhart - A dispatcher for the Los Santos Police. Barry's van was stolen and used in a crime. Not wanting to pay the bill of over $1600 to retrieve it from the impound, Barry tried to get the police to release it for a lower price. However, Willow (who was on duty when Barry came) said, "I'm sorry that you're poor" and yelled at him. Barry is now trying to sue her. (May have forgotten the lawsuit all together)
* Mel Rickenbacker - An old man who is often seen causing a ruckus in the city. He can usually be seen wearing no clothing, besides his white underwear and white socks. Barry and Mel met on Barry’s first day in the city. Mel is also known for stealing Barry’s ID after Barry punched him in the head.
*Ricky LaFleur - After gaining a copy of Ricky's ID, Barry and Dundee have used it as a false identity while talking to cops, often shouting that their name is Ricky LaFleur while robbing banks. Ricky, not being happy about this, stabbed Barry. Whenever Barry and Ricky meet, there is much stabbing or crashing into each other. One of Barry's favorite catchphrases is now "fuck you, Ricky LaFleur". In recent days Ricky is starting to join in BBMC activities, supplying the vital tools needed for the heists.
*Sam Baas - Barry doesn't like cops (except for his son, TJ Walker, who is also a police officer) but especially hates Sam Baas after he attempted to murder his husband, Irwin Dundee, by taking him out to the ocean, shooting him in the head, and ocean dumping him. Dundee went missing for two weeks before re-appearing in Los Santos.
*Crocodile Steve - 
*Fingle Dan
