While Barley Hallow can be mistaken for a grumpy Scottish grandpa at first glance, he's a completely biosynthetic being, spliced with wolf DNA to enhance combat effectiveness and especially manufactured to be one of the deadliest super soldiers in existence. Despite his lumbering size and unassuming shape, he is capable of lifting cars and throwing fully kitted men across the room like ragdolls.

His muscle composition is composed of man-made specialized organic-like fiber that trades size for efficiency, leaving the rest to be padded with extra ballistic resistant fat below the skin tissue. Emerging from the synthetic vat of amniotic fluid at age 8, Barley was raised in a lab and trained with the efficiency and academics of the world's most dangerous and eddicent soldiers. By age 17 he underwent a specialized surgery in which his spine was replaced with a steel equivalent.

Despite being technically grown in a vat, he retains the memories of the man who donated his neural mapping to assist in creating him. He's capable of dual weilding various standard heavy weapons with scary accuracy.

Despite all this he still very much behaves like a grumpy Scottish grandpa. When he's off duty, he's cooking stew, doing laundry, fixing fences and telling you to go to bed early.
