BACKGROUND: Barry Knight was commissioned as an Army officer in 1977 after graduating from VMI, and he performed staff work in the infantry throughout his career in a variety of locales. He retired a Captain with twenty years in the service in 1997 and employed himself as a private investigator, taking advantage of his contacts in the Defense Department to regularly fill lucrative “black bag” contract assignments with DOD and the CIA. Aside from his government “consulting,” he does a variety of jobs including car repossession, surveillance, bounty hunting, and bodyguard work.
Knight worked on the fringes of Delta Green operations several times over the years, most recently in the Gulf War and then in the former Yugoslavia, where he provided logistical support to black operations and then remained quiet when one such mission went disastrously, supernaturally awry. His role in helping to retrieve a number of operatives from otherwise-certain doom was a primary factor in his arrangement of later contract work and in continuing sporadic contact with Delta Green.
He lives alone in New York City.
