%%* BaldBlackLeaderGuy

->'''Played by''' Lee Tergesen

* AdaptationalHeroism: While he's far from a heroic character, he isn't quite the smug, gloating bastard he is in the books. There, Barnes was allied with the Master from the very start whereas here he's just pulled along for the ride.

* YourCheatingHeart: His wife accuses him of banging other women on the side, though Desai denies it.

* FightingFromTheInside: He chains himself up to avoid harming people. In the tv show he also warns his wife when she comes across him to leave him and never return.

* AlmightyJanitor: She is Joan's maid/nanny to her children, but is one of the few normal people on the show to realize that something terrible is going on and react appropriatly to it.

* DespairEventHorizon: Ansel turning into a monster, killing and eating her dogs, which she had to bury, as well as the revelation that her neighbour had hit her dog pushes her over the edge and she hangs herself after tossing said neighbour to her infected husband.

* TranquilFury: After Anne-Marie Barbour is struck with the revelation that the neighbour hurt her dog after he comes around to complain about her infected husband growling, thinking that it was her dog, she snaps and lies that her dog is in the shed, before opening the shed door, pushing him inside and feeding him to Ansel.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Palmer, who's employed him for a very long time. Even after leaving Palmer's service, [[spoiler:he's reluctant to aide Setrakian.]]

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Quits her job and flees after witnessing Palmer rejuvinating himself with the White.

* WouldHurtAChild: His entire role in the Partnership is essentially "farming" babies of a specific bloodtype for the Master to eat. He justifies it by saying "the cold hard truth of the matter" is that an adult life is worth more than infant which is not even aware of what's happening to it. Dutch's response is to punch him repeatedly in the face until she's restrained.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Deftly dispatching a vampire with a headshot from a modified nailgun, then personally checking over the humans whose lives he just saved, (with evident concern for their well being) all while speaking very calmly and kindly to the shaken and clearly alarmed children in the group. He then shots a woman in the face with little hesitation after pretty much confirming she's infected, though you can see the displeasure in his face when he realizes she has to die.

* OnlySaneMan: Of the four survivors, he's the only one who places his trust in the CDC and allows them to do their vital work.
