A Dingo henchman who occasionally worked for Tex Hex.
Together with several other Dingoes, including Goldtooth, Barker operated a hidden Spin Factory situated just beyond Stone Canyon. There they fabricated the deadly drug called Spin, which they distributed in the Stone Canyon mining camps. Many miners became addicted and quickly lost their minds because of the drugs and had to be restrained by Marshal BraveStarr back in Fort Kerium. In this state, they were known as 'Spin-Heads'. (The Price)
According to Barker, Spin was 'just fun, it don't hurt nobody'. It is possible that Dingoes were immune to the addictive effects of the drug, much as the Dingo Llama had found a medicine to become immune against the illness caused by the Fever Flower.

- Episode 12: Big Thirty and Little Wimble - Barker was part of the Leaper Riders led by Howler.

Barker was thrown off his Leaper when a Prairie Person tripped it by throwing bolo's around the creature's legs. When he tried to attack on foot, Barker was knocked down by ripple in the ground caused by BraveStarr's Strength of the Bear. Barker used an enormous bull horn to listen in on the Dingoe's enemies and learned that Thirty/Thirty was acting as Wimble's temporary father. Barker ordered him to kidnap the young Prairie Person to set a trap for BraveStarr. Barker and Goldtooth traveled to Fort Kerium where they learned that Wimble was being taken on a field trip by Miss Jenny. He sabotaged the Bus-Jet so it would go down in Howler's territory.
