Barret Wallace's Past/History: Barret grew up in the small, coal mining village of Corel. He was a leading advocate in cooperating with Shin-Ra in building a mako reactor in Corel, as he believed that it would lead to an easier life for Corel's people. After the reactor was built with much to the dissatisfaction of Barret's best friend, Dyne, the anti-Shin-Ra terrorists (also known as "AVALANCHE") attacked the reactor, and in the belief that they may have been operating within Corel Shin-Ra responded to the incident by indiscriminately burning down the town of Corel, killing many citizens, including Barret's wife Myrna. He and Dyne were not in the village as the attack began, and when they tried to return, they were attacked by Shin-Ra troops led by Scarlet. Though Barret survived, his right forearm was hit by gunfire and rendered useless when he tried in vain to prevent Dyne from falling off a cliff. Assuming Dyne to have been killed, he adopted Marlene, Dyne's daughter, and then traveled to Midgar. He also had gun prosthetic grafted to his arm and began seeking revenge on Shin-Ra, eventually becoming the leader of the second incarnation of AVALANCHE. However, he remained ignorant of the full extremity of the former AVALANCHE.
Together with Cloud and the rest of the group he travelled the World and finally defeated Sephiroth. He left to seek out a new source of energy to replace mako, leaving Marlene in Cloud and Tifa's care.
