Barry Briddle is a character role-played by UberHaxorNova.
Description
Barry Briddle is a Caucasian male with black, puffy hair controlled by a bandanna and an unshaven beard. He is a Senior Ranger for the San Andreas State Park Rangers, Badge #278. He has sharp, protruding, aggressive facial features that include an extended brow ridge, comically long chin, and unusually wide lips. Many people in the city have called him a primate or a monkey due to these features. He talks with an inconsistent southern drawl.
Background
Barry Briddle is a private investigator turned cop born in Boston, Dakota, but moved to Los Santos at an early age. He has no known relatives living in Boston, as he states that they do not exist.
He aspired to be a cop because when was a teenager growing up in Boston, as his neighborhood saw a lot of crime and drug usage. The day he chose to be a cop was when he made a makeshift police badge, walked to the nearest drug hotspot in his neighborhood, and flashed it to one of the people at the corner and then got stabbed. He swore that one day that fake badge of his would turn into a real one.
Personality
On the surface, Barry is very deadpan, this makes his fellow peers think that he is dull and unenthusiastic about most things in life. Though, when it comes to cop work he is very passionate and is dedicated to stopping criminals in their tracks. He is a fast learner and quick to adapt to new situations; he is also very detailed in his work (report writing, picture taking, etc.) making him one of the most thorough cops in the force.
He is also the butt of many insults and derogatory comments, especially concerning his physical appearance and blank demeanor. However, as he has become more well-known and the general public became more accustomed to him, the amount of comments about him have decreased drastically. In spite of this, or maybe because of it, he is able to clap back with witty and sassy remarks. Barry also believes in the paranormal and the unknown. He believes that ghosts, aliens, cryptids, and hypnosis exists, which makes some other officers think that he is gullible.

Biography
Espionage Operations
Espionage Operations
After quitting CI work, he became a ride-along for the Police Department, riding with cops such as Jerry Perkins, Aaron Byson, and Sam Baas. Although, with the city becoming bankrupt due to the government going all in on GameStop stocks, the Police Department lost funding and was initially unable to give ride-alongs.
While working at Burger Shot, he delivered free donuts and coffee to the police department (after it was approved by Kevin) as a way to advertise the restaurant and set himself up in a positive light to the PD. Additionally, his really primal facial features earned him the nickname of "Sasquatch" from his fellow coworkers and managers. This resulted in him almost getting hunted by Leslie Lingberg during a "delivery training exercise" set up by Robert Spowylamywanowski and Bradley Kickass. While working at the Burger Shot, his fellow employees even spread a rumor that he was a werewolf. Though these claims were unsubstantiated, the Night Shift Crew at the restaurant were hard at work trying to prove them. In a convoluted scheme to escape the wrath of The Hunter, while also gathering intel on Kenneth Foreman, Barry Briddle planned to be "fired" from Burger Shot and then undergo bootleg sex reassignment surgery by an alternate persona of Leslie before being rehired under the alias "Marry Middle". Although the scheme was rendered moot when both The Hunter and Ken were made aware of his intention to undergo a sex change and that he wasn't really fired, yet he still decided to undergo surgery (with the one stipulation that his penis remained untouched). He received breast implants that were two apple pies wrapped in Burger Shot bags and potato "lip enhancements", but the surgery was interrupted when Robert fired his gun. That action attracted the police and led to the arrest of both Rob and Leslie, while Barry was taken to Pillbox Medical where the surgery was undone. Although the doctor that treated Barry decided to give him some "remnant ass cheeks" to stuff a bra with, allowing Barry to still go undercover as "Marry Middle". Barry was awarded 'employee of the day' multiple times by Robert, the night crew manager at the time, and had been promoted to the rank of team leader before being hired at the BSCO. When Barry became a cadet for the BCSO, he shifted to a part-time worker for Burger Shot. Since then he used his employment as an opportunity to steal food from the establishment and give it to his fellow officers and himself for sustenance. By August 2021 he was fired for inactivity since he hadn't come to work since he became a ranger.
He was hired as a Cadet for the BCSO on March 11th, 2021 and passed academy on March 28th, 2021. During his time as a cadet, Mike Bayo referred to him a series of videos called "Verbal Judo", these series of videos teach people how to become better speakers and to become more assertive in the line of duty. He attained solo cadet status on May 4th, 2021. During this time, he received a lot of praise from his fellow officers for his thoroughness, knowledge of SoPs and case laws, and overall actions as a cadet. Briddle even garnered praise from Jackie Snow, who suggested that he might be an FTO one day. Because of this, he developed a specialty for catching oxy runners. He caught about six of them during his time as a police cadet. Barry's first arrest as a solo officer also resulted in his first bench trial as a solo officer. He ended up partially losing the case, with the defendant being able to drop one of the charges Barry brought against him. They both occurred on 5/5/21 and the presiding judge for the trial was Coyote Russell. However, on the following day after this bench trial, the charge "Sale of Drugs" (the charge that was dropped in the bench trial) was modified by the DOJ after numerous complaints by LEOs and the ADA, Barry found out through Daisy Dukakis. While processing a burglar, Barry caught Theodore Tinker tazing a woman in the MRPD holding cells which caused her heart to explode and die at the cells. This ignited a rivalry between the two. He was also kidnapped and stabbed by two unknown assailants as retaliation against Snow, who supposedly put them in time out. After stabbing them they said to relay the message: Snow is falling. He has an ongoing healthy rivalry with the Littlemen siblings, Jim Littleman and Tim Littleman.
Once becoming full-deputy, he had intended to send an interest form to transfer to the San Andreas State Park Rangers after it was announced that they were taking in applications, per Conan Clarkson. While trying to become a ranger, Barry created survival items for the department to distribute as Ziggy Buggs stated that every ranger has created or offered something for the department. These items include maps, meal ready to eat (MRE), sleeping bags, etc. On May 18th, 2021 Barry was formally accepted into the Rangers after he met with lead ranger Ziggy at the top of Mt. Chiliad. He officially became a ranger on 5/21/21 after taking the ranger final evaluation, which was to fight two mountain lions in hand-to-hand combat. Although the murder kitties downed him nearly instantly, Ziggy announced that Barry had passed, and was thus to be known as Ranger Barry Briddle.
Later on, Barry and Perkins rushed to a downed officer call by Legion Square where they saw Luka Kozlov incapacitated and riddled with bullets, they later found out that there was a hit put on him by an unknown group (found out it was the mafia family that Balbani headed). By fate, they encountered Balbani (who fit the description given by Mickey) and his crew during an active pursuit that started at the Casino and ended at Vinewood Hills. All persons being chased in that pursuit were apprehended by the police and brought to MRPD to be processed and sent to prison, except for Balbani. He was not sent off as he had to stay for a line-up and was interrogated by Dukakis. Though as Barry eventually went off duty, the Balbani Crime Family was raided after a traffic stop. The police came up with several armaments, drugs/paraphernalia, racing dongles, and dirty money. The following day, Barry got back on duty and attended the regular Shift 3 Meeting where he and the rest of PD were debriefed by Lea Nova about more findings of another possible mafia group up at Sandy. Nova had found Cosa Nostra and threats against police written in various places all over Sandy Shores. Barry claims that the writings in Sandy are connected to Balbani's groups, stating that the Don is mad. After the meeting, Barry and Perkins met up with Tessa Lamb after not seeing her for months. They had a quick debrief about happenings up north and the duo's K9 certification. Barry had asked Tessa about the Mafia's activities in the north, though she had no grasp of their activities. However, BCSO Deputy Vincent Cannoli approached the group after he had overheard their conversation. He stated that a Reginald Legarski confessed to him and Wrangler about being held captive by a Mafia group at the Raven Slaughterhouse after Legarski was said to have planted 150g of weed on the mafia, getting them raided and arrested for drug trafficking. As the conversation proceeded, Tessa brought up that her driving school instructors were being attacked and harassed by members of Balbani's family and that she was being stalked by a man named Jakka Romano, who may be affiliated with this mafia group. After the conversation ended, Barry and Perkins resumed their normal patrol activity. While during patrol, Perkins asked who callsign 315 was and discovered that it was Vincent Cannoli, the same deputy that approached them about mafia activities and confessions. Barry claimed that Cannoli sounded like a mafioso because of his very Italian surname, the duo returned to MRPD and asked the dispatchers the whereabouts of Cannoli so they could question him and find any sort of link with an active mafia in the city. Barry and Perkins found him and questioned him thoroughly, they came to a conclusion that Cannoli was a mole sent by a mafia family to spy on the police. The Duo threatened to beat Cannoli with nightsticks if he did not fess up to the purported truth that they concluded with. Though they were met with confusion from Cannoli and no forward answer. He claimed that he has no connections to the Italian Mob in question and that they were gaslighting him. Barry shoved him and demanded to come clean, this resulted in a physical altercation between the three resulting in Barry getting incapacitated and Cannoli being let go. Barry and Perkins proceeded to resume their daily patrol activities. The following day, Barry went on duty and decided to do the Motorcycle Time Trials to attain the motorcycle certification. While doing the Sandy Shores trial, his route was blocked by an abandoned Mesa with the words Costa Nostra and Illegal Speeding scribbled all over. He called out to Byson that the mob was active and had interrupted his trial. While waiting for him to arrive, Barry was met by an unknown man honking his horn and flipping him off at the bridge below the abandoned vehicle. After a few attempts the bike he used needed to be repaired so he went to Harmony Auto Repair and got it fixed, where he and Byson encountered the man who was interrupting and actively messing with the trials: Jakka Romano. He was chased off by Byson and threated to beat and arrest him if he kept interfering with the trial. Not much else happened as he continued to do the trials until he gave up. The following day he went on duty, He met with Persnickety Windalu, a BCSO cadet, who was caught snooping around at the Fingle Office. Initially Barry thought he was a mafia member as he wore a trench coat and a fedora. Though after talking further with him, that was not the case. Barry hired Windalu to investigate Cannoli and relay any new information to Barry so he can expand his profile on him. So far he found out that Cannoli was going to dress up as an Italian Mobster for a themed wrestling event, which he found suspicious and almost too coincidental. He rode alongside Moosebeard to do regular patrol when they received a 911 call about a man with slicked back hair holding people up at knife point. He rushed there to only see Jakka Romano fitting the description. Upon arrival, Moosebeard and Barry alongside an off duty Cleo Shaw grilled and questioned Jakka. They discovered that there are 3 Mafia Families operating in Los Santos: Toni Balbani's, Jakka's (which was found out to be Cosa Nostra), and another unknown mafia group. Furthermore, Jakka stated that Vincent Cannoli was a part of his mafia group and claimed that he was the group's Punisher as he would bring up victims on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Grapeseed torture room and beat them to death. Barry let Jakka go as he saw a 311 call that Cannoli was going back on duty after he had went off duty minutes prior, which caused Barry to link the torture and the coincidental 311 call. He rushed to MRPD to meet with Byson to discuss his findings while Moosebeard and Cleo talked to Cannoli. Upon leaving MRPD they received an anonymous call about a dead body at the Grapeseed torture room. They rushed up there to investigate and discovered a dead local with its face beaten in by brass knuckles and a box of cannoli by its corpse. Byson, Barry, and Louis Bloom (the first cop on the scene) took photos of the crime to document and put in an unlisted report so Vincent Cannoli would not be able to see it. Upon canvassing the scene, a drunken Lily Pond barged in the torture room and Sexton Hardcastle went after her, though they would be told to leave the scene and were not debriefed about the situation. As they emerged from the torture room, they were met with Cannoli and told him that it was a prank and that nothing happened there. Barry and Byson returned to the city to further discuss the findings and resumed normal patrol and responded to a Vault Heist and Jewelry Store robbery. Upon their return to MRPD to talk to Jeffrey Bundy about the mafia investigation, they saw Cannoli talking to Zach Casady. Barry overheard him about bringing him up north to discuss things, which led him to believe that he may be expanding his influence to other cops. Though, when confronted the two brushed it off and stated that they were talking about American Sports. Soon after, Barry and Byson met with Bundy to give him a rundown and debriefing of the current findings they have on the mafia groups. The two were given permission by Bundy to go as undercover mafioso on Monday to investigate further. Though, Barry or Byson were unable to go as UC Mafioso. Barry's investigation into the Italian Mafia was then dropped, as soon afterwards he went inactive once again.
When he returned on 1/18/22, the perception of IA within the PD was severely degraded. The ability of the former to enforce any punishments was effectively neutered, with most other members of IA having either quit or been unable to enforce any significant punishments. As a result, Barry decided that it was no longer feasible for him to accomplish anything within the department and sought to get himself fired from IA. By this time he also began unofficially doling out trivial amounts of strike points (0.3 being Barry's preferred number) or offering to remove strike points as a reward.

- His name is a play-on-words for very brittle.
- Robert Spowylamywanowski and Leslie Lingberg believe that Barry is a super-natural being of some sort. At first they believed he was a sasquatch due to his copious amounts of body hair, but after he was concussed in an assault by Pilbis (resulting in a trip to the ICU which Barry didn't remember and explained as a hunting accident) they believed him to actually be a mummy after seeing the bandages covering his head and some "magic" involving a levitating welding torch.
