Originally named Benjamin Barker, he was a barber in London married to Lucy, with a daughter, Joanna. Out of jealousy, Judge Turpin wanted his wife, so he had Barker arrested and sent away. After 15 years in prison, he came back to London with a young sailor, Anthony, and now stays with Mrs. Lovett above her meat pie shop. He kills his victims with his silver straight razors, dumping them downstairs for Mrs. Lovett to bake up. Black hair with white streak. Brooding, vengeful, dramatic, cocky.
