Princess Marguerite
"You think love matters when you have this much power?"

- Barrett to Your Character

Marguerite is his fiancee. Their marriage would be one of convenience as neither of them loves the other. She agreed to marry him for her family because they were going through financial difficulties; he agreed to marry her for the power and prestige as well as having a new base of operations for his businesses. If you unlock Miranda's bad ending, she says she doesn't miss him.

Your Character
Barrett was a mark that you tried to steal from 3 years ago. While you were successful in the heist, a betrayal from Ansel Crane allowed Carlisle to keep all of his stolen property. In Chapter 15, you have the option of stealing his personal property on top of the Royal Jewels; if you do, when he catches you, Rye, your Muscle, and your Grifter in the hall, he asks you why. If you tell him that he's a dick and that his empire is built on others suffering, he tells you to spare him your morals.

Ansel Crane
Ansel Crane is Barrett's security expert.
