History

Encountered by Daredevil

Barrett was eventually given the job by Wilson Fisk's organization of transporting a group of young women in a cargo holder to be used as prostitutes overseas. When the girls would not stop screaming due to the traumatic ordeal, Barrett held a gun at their heads and threatened them; he then promised that if they stopped screaming, he would be kind enough to give them a small bucket to use as a toilet. In order to stop their screams, Barrett stunned a girl with his taser before then ordering all of his men to put them in the cargo hold to begin their journey across the sea to begin their new terrible life.

Before the girls could be taken, Barrett and his men were attacked by a man in a mask; although Barrett fired his gun at his attacker, he seemingly dodged the bullets before hiding amongst the cargo holds. Barrett continued the search but was quickly disarmed by the man who beat him senseless before rescuing the girls. Barrett was forced to contact, Vladimir and Anatoly Ranskahov, and inform them of what he witnessed. Despite the strangeness of Barrett's story, the Ranskahovs believed it was true and informed Madame Gao, Nobu Yoshioka, Leland Owlsley and James Wesley of the attack.

Although Gao questioned Barrett's claims, in the end, the Ranskahov brothers were able to convince the rest of the group that Barrett was to be trusted and he was therefore allowed to continue working for the organization. With his broken nose now bandaged, Barrett later met with a group of small-time arms dealers in a darkened alley where he purchased a box of handguns which he intended to sell himself to the various assassins within New York City who would be hired by either the Ranskahovs or their employer Wilson Fisk. As Barrett took the gun, he smelled the barrel and enjoyed the smell.
