Barbara Stratford

Character Analysis

Investigative reporter for the Bay Guardian, Barbara digs into the story about the DHS and writes a big exposé about the Treasure Island prison. She's great at technology and has strong journalistic ethics—she's even been to jail for protecting a source.

She takes Marcus seriously and treats him as adult, which is great, but hardly the most impressive thing about her. Barbara also leads the raid on the Treasure Island prison that prevents Marcus from drowning via waterboarding—good job, Barbs.
