Barin (Ru. Барин) is a member of Duty who appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Background[]

A cad, bootlicker, hypocrite and coward. Barin's motto could well be, "After us, the Deluge". Takes advantage of any situation. Extremely ambitious and touchy. He came to the Zone, unsurprisingly, for money. For two years now he's been procuring material assets by all possible means[non-game. 1].

Appearances[]

Shadow of Chernobyl[]

Barin is initially found in the Bar at the start of the game, patrolling the area. After the Documents from Lab X18, part 4 have been retrieved, he will move to the Dark Valley, joining a Duty squad at the entrance to the Garbage. However, he may also move to the Duty checkpoint in the Garbage if one of the guards there has been killed. If the player helped Skull eliminate Lukash, then he may be found in the Army Warehouses instead.

Barin carries a unique weapon, the "Tunder" 5.45, making him one of two possible sources for this weapon (the other being buying the weapon for 20 000 RU from Sidorovich at the start of the game). It is quite tricky to kill Barin without turning Duty hostile, but there are a number of ways to circumvent this. One is to let him die at the hands of the dogs that hang around the southern checkpoint of the Bar. If Barin is found at the Army Warehouses or in the Dark Valley, he may also die in a fight against mutants or bandits. One can also attempt killing him with a stealth weapon such as the Vintar BC, but this may take multiple attempts to pull this off successfully (this cannot be attempted if Barin is in the Bar, as doing so instantly turns Duty hostile no matter what).

Development[]

  • He was the target of a cut assassination mission, Kill the stalker called Barin, given by Lukash. The mission's description states Barin to be Duty's chief quartermaster, with Lukash explaining that his death is necessary to cripple Duty's logistics[non-game. 2].

Trivia[]

  • "Barin" is Russian for "master", though it is also a derogatory term for a freeloader, which alludes to his unused biography.

  2. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Lukash: "A cad, bootlicker, hypocrite and coward... that's stalker Barin for you. As you can see, a man with a marvellous character, which helped him get to the top of Duty. Currently supplies the faction with supplies and foodstuff, though he takes part in raids from time to time. We need to get rid of him, especially since all the clues regarding Duty logistics lead to Barin."
