Flight Sergeant [[Ortega]]'s wingman and [[Triad (TOS)|Triad]] partner, although he made it definitely clear that Ortega was never a friend of his. Appearing to be a generally cordial Warrior to hang around with, he was also manipulative in the sort of way to choose Ortega as "he wins" in Triad.
After Ortega's termination, [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] set out to clear [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s name, and Barton was the only person they could question. Barton reveals that he hung around a particular pyramid dealer on the ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]''; as well as commented on the fact that Ortega feared only one person -- a man named [[Karibdis]]. This fact was revealed during a long-range patrol. Barton also informs the Warriors that there were many other people that Ortega crossed paths with, but the information Barton provides is instrumental in finding Karibdis and proving Starbuck's innocence ([[Murder on the Rising Star]]).

However, he also revealed that there were many other people that Ortega irritated enough to start fights.
 
Still, Barton's information was instrumental in finding [[Karibdis]] and freeing Starbuck of the charge. ([[Murder on the Rising Star]])
