* Sgt. Jack Barnes is a paratrooper from the 501st PIR, 101st Airborne Division. Like Major Winters and Captain Spiers, his fellow divisionmates, he's also a veteran of Normandy and Bastogne. Late in the European War, he and his superior Capt. Monroe are reassigned to the OSS. Their first and only operation as part of this group was in Berlin, assisting a Soviet recon unit in retrieving important intelligence from a crashed USAAF recon plane and the ruins of an SS headquarters.
* During this particular operation, Barnes became TrappedBehindEnemyLines, and was forced to commandeer and operate a captured T-34 tank and drive it back to Soviet lines, all by his lonesome. During his escape, he was able to operate the main gun and commander's machine gun without any difficulty, and in the process was able to destroy a large number of German tanks, artillery pieces, and armored vehicles. Among these included the deadly Tiger I heavy tank.
* Unlike Lt. Mike Powell or Cpl. Boyd Travers, who have none of the skills to operate crew-served weapons or vehicles alone, and in the latter's case even required a fully trained tank crew to help operate a King Tiger during a mission, Barnes is more than capable of operating the aforementioned T-34 tank all by his lonesome. And he can even operate artillery pieces and flak guns as well, something that perplexes both Powell and Travers, who can only so much as blow them up.
* As with his first mission in Normandy, Barnes arrives into the Pantheon via a C-47 Skytrain, and once again comes under heavy AntiAir fire from German forces, in this case Waffen-SS soldiers, who immediately recognize the roar of the transport's engines. And again, Barnes is forced into parachuting early, and ends up becoming mis-dropped and TrappedBehindEnemyLines once more. Armed only with an M1 Garand rifle and Colt M1911 pistol, he makes his way through the German lines with caution. Thanks to some luck and the element of surprise, he kills a few Germans, and manages to take their weapons, in this case an MP 40 submachine-gun and a STG-44 Assault rifle.
* Eventually, he gets ambushed by a German platoon, only to get saved once again by British soldiers who manage to ambush the German troops in return. These soldiers turn out to be Captain John Price and "Soap" Mactavish, who are all too glad to help Barnes find his way back to American lines in the Pantheon. The two SAS soldiers hand Barnes over to Major Richard Winters and Capt. Ronald Spiers, also from the 101st Airborne Division.
** Many deities note the similarity of Barnes' experiences in Bastogne as being remarkably similar to those of Lt. Spiers, something that is constantly brought up whenever they find out about his experiences in Europe.
** Given that Steven Spielberg had a hand in writing Barnes' story just as he did Powell's, this is more than likely intentional.
* Under the Major's command, he eventually meets fellow Normandy veterans Lt. Mike Powell and Cpl. Boyd Travers. All three of them recall their experiences in Europe, and get along rather well when push comes to shove. The only thing that puzzles them is the aforementioned fact that Barnes can man crew-served artillery pieces without any difficulty.
** While Barnes has been TrappedBehindEnemyLines like Powell numerous times, he isn't a StealthExpert, due to being a trained as a paratrooper first and foremost.
* Katyusha admires his tank-driving ability in the T-34, and at one point even asks is he can help her man one of her tanks during a competition.
** On the other hand, seeing Maho Nishizumi and her Panzer IV doesn't give Barnes any good memories, having dealt against the remnants of an entire Panzer Division during the Berlin Offensive. Thus, he prefers staying away from her tank.
* Is noted by many deities to have more than one similarity to Viktor Reznov, mostly to do with their voices sounding familiar, their involvement in the Battle of Berlin, and their ability to operate a T-34 tank without any issues, except in Reznov's case he needs additional men. When they do meet, they get along pretty well, with both recounting their experiences during this FinalBattle to one another.

* Complicated Relationship: [[Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} Cassandra]], Rhaegar Targaryen
* When word reached the Greek Gods that Apollo was arriving, everyone speculated which would be the trope he'd ascend on. His natural gift of music? The power over the sun? His well-known healing capabilities or even his gift of prophecy? Imagine the chagrin of everyone when it was learned that it was due to [[SwanBoats his use of swans as his mode of transport]], but that didn't stop him as he arrived true to form on a chariot drawn by majestic looking swans. Still, it's wise not to make fun of his ascending on such a curious and laughable trope, or else you will feel yourself being [[WhatADrag dragged by his Across the Sky]].
** Nobody was happier to see him ascend than his twin sister, Artemis. Of course, that meant the chaste goddess had even more protection from unwanted suitors as Apollo [[MySisterIsOffLimits makes]] '''[[MySisterIsOffLimits damn]]''' [[MySisterIsOffLimits sure to protect her]]. Anyone implying they have a ''[[BrotherSisterIncest closer]]'' relation will not just bring the huntress's fury on the foolish soul but also get a special helping of Apollo's legendary wrath. The tales of his DisproportionateRetribution on those who wrong him or his loved ones are said in hushed whispers.
** Also he tends to get 'complain letters' from Artemis' most devout follower, Atalanta, but Apollo usually mistook it as 'love letters' since he's so good looking... but then prefers that Atalanta won't switch prayers, she fits better with his sister.
* Many asked him why he didn't take his legendary golden bow with him when he fought in the [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} Battleground of the Gods]]. All he would say on the matter is that he didn't need it. Mercury, however, jokingly spilled the beans saying he accidentally left it at home and the Battleground rules strictly said that only weapons the gods had on hand would be the only ones permitted to be wielded. Apollo swore he'd get back at his brother for that one. Still, now that the Pantheon wasn't the Battleground he has full use of the bow and its powerful Light Arrows.
* Aside from swan-shaped modes of transport, he has quite the collection of giant swans keeping watch over things. Even though she is not a true swan due to a curse, he treats Princess Odette with respect and kindness, even giving her refuge there should she ever be in her swan form until she reverts to human form.
* Despite being ascended for his swan-drawn transportation, Apollo has many different talents and is at home in many different Houses. Aside from the House of Music, he is also welcome at the House of Health & Diseases and Prophecy for both his expertise in medicine and diseases and his gift of prediction. Another House he is very much welcome despite trying to not be there much is the House of Vengeance. As one of the few gods who embodies DisproportionateRetribution, he is venerated within.
* The girls scream and swoon whenever Apollo appears at the House of Music whenever he puts on a concert. Even though his instrument is the humble lyre, he is '''very''' good at it. Poking fun at his ability with it is not recommended, as tales of both the satyr Marsyas (who boasted he could best Apollo's lyre and ended up flayed alive for his blasphemy) and King Midas (who, having not learned his lesson after his golden touch fiasco, was cursed with donkey ears after saying Marsyas played better music than him) are served as cautionary tales of his legendary vengeance.
** There is one certain girl who was ''not'' happy with Apollo's ascension due to the [[CassandraTruth curse he inflicted on her]]. However, nobody is certain who is telling the truth over what happened as both Apollo and Cassandra [[UnreliableNarrator each tell their version of the story]]. Despite the pleas of several neutral allies, getting Apollo to remove Cassandra's curse would be akin to the GUA leaders [[GoKartingWithBowser having a happy go-kart race with each other]].
* The question on many minds pertaining to both Apollo and his sister was where were they when Kratos stormed Olympus even though Artemis [[VideoGame/GodOfWar appeared to help the Ghost of Sparta during his quest to defeat Ares]]. Apollo sighed and told everyone that due to his gift of Prophecy he knew the dangers of Kratos opening Pandora's Box and infecting all of Olympus with its evils [[SadisticChoice but was hard-pressed towards either allowing this to pass or letting Ares control Olympus and bring it to ruin]]. Thus, he kept quiet but made sure he and Artemis were as far away from Olympus as possible when the Box was opened and when Kratos counterattacked. For keeping this from him as well as hiding, Zeus punished Apollo by removing his divinity and sending him among the mortals for a long time.
** This form of punishment is one Apollo is familiar with as Zeus [[Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo did it once again in a more recent setting]].
* Even without having faced Kratos himself, he is very upset over how he [[OffWithHisHead treated]] his fellow sun deity and friend, [[VideoGame/GodOfWarIII Helios]] (whom he loaned his sun chariot during his absence from Olympus). Only knowing his mistake in keeping mum about the prophecies he saw kept the Ghost of Sparta from facing his legendary wrath.
* Many are surprised that among Apollo's talents is Medicine, both used [[TheMedic to heal]] as well as [[PlagueMaster to infect disease]]. Several evil deities such as Nurgle and Pestilence have tried to convince Apollo to join them in the spreading of disease, but Apollo is disgusted that they even consider his power of disease as something to spread without thought. That and he made a promise to Artemis in keeping his use of plague-bearing to a minimum.
* Aside from creating diseases, he keeps a special quiver of arrows tipped with the most pain-inducing plagues he's concocted. Regime Superman learned of them the hard way when Apollo shot him with one when the Regime stormed Olympus and it was enough to stop the nearly-invulnerable fallen hero. Nergal and Pestilence would love to get their hands on one of these arrows and experiment with the disease, but Apollo has enchanted his arrows to disintegrate if anyone other than him were to touch one so they're out of luck.
* As the original god wielding Light Arrows, he is impressed over Zelda being able to wield them just as well as he does. Naturally, a lot of evil gods who abhor light, ''especially'' Ganondorf want nothing more than his arrows to be destroyed as they are their only weakness.
* Even he gets tired of all the attention from screaming fangirls and constant attacks by deities friendly to Cassandra's plight, so on those days he adopts [[https://gbf.wiki/images/thumb/1/14/Apollo.png/600px-Apollo.png a unique form]]. However, those who mock his child form are in for a rude awakening as he still has control of his Light Arrows and has been said to be a [[ThatOneBoss difficult]] [[GoddamnedBoss and annoying]] opponent as word of mouth of the world he's mostly seen as that form can attest.
* Despite his prowess with the lyre, even he admits that there are a few deities in the Pantheon that are quite as good as him (which, unlike the blasphemous Marsyas and King Midas, they don't boast about and that suits Apollo just fine.
** The young Rito girl Medli is amazed at his skills and he himself enjoys listening to her Earth God's Lyric. He has given her a few music lessons on the side but she politely refused when he offered great healing magic or the gift of prophecy. The Earth Sage really didn't want any trouble out of Cassandra.
** Prince Edward is one of the few Apollo considers both a follower and a friend. Some have even wondered if Edward's Salve ability came from Apollo's blessing but the Damcyan royal keeps mum. Still, it's been said that behind closed doors, the two have quite a laidback jam session as they play on their lyre/harp that many who have heard them say it was poetry in sound form.
** However, Apollo's relation with the Prince of Dragonstone is quite rocky. On one hand, he considers him a brave warrior, a decent harp player, and a good husband. On the other side, his choice of both Prince Paris and Helen as high priests leaves him with a sour taste in his mouth as despite being on the side of the Troyans during the Troyan War, his cursing of Cassandra leaves him quite unpopular with them. So, unlike Medli and Edward, he keeps his distance from him.
* The day Apophis struck Apollo, as he's one of his pantheon's [[PowerOfTheSun sun deities aside Helios]], was one the Greek god was waiting for. The snake had size and Overdeity-level powers, but Apollo had his Light Arrows and enough experience fighting giant snakes such as Python. Their battle went on for an entire day with neither opponent yielding. Apollo finally relied on a Plague Arrow and shot the Chaos Serpent right [[EyeScream in one eye for maximum pain]] that allowed him to deliver a vicious salvo of Light Arrows at the open mouth. This was enough to send the Encircler retreating and giving Apollo the victory. Apophis, on the other hand, swore that the Greek god will be destroyed when the [=GUAD's=] plot comes to fruition and will have his sights set on killing every single deity related to the sun with Ra and Apollo on the top of his list.
* Following Artemis' example, Apollo managed to accompany Paris [[Videogame/FateGrandOrder in the form of a small sheep]] when the latter manifested as a Heroic Servant, this time using his powers to alter the prince's form into a far younger state. Reportedly, Achilles as well as Apollo's son Asclepius are none too pleased.
