## Biography

Barry was a young child when he was found by Shadow the Hedgehog. After being abandoned by his own parents, he mistook Shadow for his father due to them having a similar forehead stripe. Shadow, unsure of what to do, knew he couldn't just leave the young quokka to die, so he took Barry into his care and became his adoptive father.

However, Shadow was the Leader of a cult (Cult of Havens) who worshipped The Nightmare Boy by being cannibals. The idea was that they offered up meat to their god as food, then consumed that food themselves as well, establishing Mobians and Gods as equals and praying for blessings.

Barry was taught the customs and traditions of the Cult, while becoming the successor of said Cult due to his status as the son of Shadow.

The Cult ran a train disguised as a luxury vacation getaway. They would allow their "guests" a day or two of fun, food, and rest, before serving them a final, grand feast. They would then announce that "Dinner is Not Over", and surround the guests before pulling out weapons and attacking the guests, killing them and sometimes even eating them alive.

They only preformed this ritual once ever month, usually on smaller crowds of people so that Mobians would keep their guards low.

But things changed when Sonic and Co. came for Amy's birthday celebration.

After two days of partying, the cultists attacked.

Barry went to attack Sonic, who easily overpowered the quokka and almost killed him using the knife that Barry wielded. However, Shadow protected his son and laid down his life to save Barry. Sonic killed Shadow using the same knife that Barry always used, leading Barry to become traumatized.

Barry ended up killing Sonic, and taking Tails as a hostage.

Since Tails respawned to last place he slept, the Cultists locked him in a confined room and kept him as an infinite food source. Barry became Leader of the Cult of Havens in the stead of his father, and grieved for his father's loss.

Eight years would pass before Tails managed to manafacture a device to send a distress signal, which reached the vagabond princess of a far-off planet.

Blaze the Cat would come looking for the source of the distress signal, making the mistake of traveling to the train.

After hearing about how Sonic the Hedgehog had been missing for years, Blaze would enter the train and encounter none other than Barry, who was wiping off a table. Upon asking him about the whereabouts of Sonic, Barry would become extremely enraged and attack her, leading to a blowout fight between Blaze and Barry.

Blaze would accidentally set the train car on fire using her powers, and escaped the car by burning a hole through the roof. Barry was trapped by the fire, unable to escape due to putting the train car on lockdown mode.

Barry was ultimately engulfed by the flames.

Blaze saved Tails and Tails exposed the awful nature of the train, leading to the Cult scattering and abandoning each other.

However, since Barry's only family was dead, and no one was left to remember him, Barry and his body were lost to history.
