Final Fantasy VII / Avalanche leader

Barret Wallace

Barret Wallace character artwork
Avalanche leader · Corel / Midgar

Barret leads the Midgar Avalanche cell and opposes Shinra’s exploitation of the planet. His past in Corel and his care for Marlene give the political conflict a personal foundation.

  • Story: The story challenges the consequences of his resistance while revealing the loss behind his hostility to Shinra. His relationships make him more than an uncomplicated spokesman for one cause.
  • In the game: Many gun-arm weapons work well from the back row, but some are close-range. Check the actual weapon’s range before assuming every Barret loadout avoids a row-related damage penalty.
