Joeseph Barlett

"My expertise calls for taking priceless art out of a heavily guarded facility leaving no clue of how i got in and out, not looking for a old stick in a rinky-dink town like this one" - From his first mission

Origin
Joeseph Barlett originally worked for his father Simon Barlett as a Professional Art Thief, stealing many, many pieces of historic art. After a 'routine' job stealing, The Cintāmaṇi of Vishnu, a ancient Hindu jewel worth millions. Whilst collecting the jewel incrusted stone, his father accidentally activated a artifact that was collected in the museum as well. Gautama Buddah's Khakkhara, when the rings of the artifact hit the ground it created a sonic sound wave that shatter vases, glass and activated the alarms. Leaving him unconscious, his father left him for the cops, simply telling him, " Don't worry, I'll send you a card" leaving him and collecting the art.

Then, that is when Mrs. Fredric came into his life, after seeing his talents and explaining to him how it took her agents at least three hours to get into the room, only taking five minutes for him and his father. She offered him a job he could not refuse, a clean slate with all his previous accusations gone, including this incident. Or go to federal prison for a very long time. After a long good thought, that lasted about for five seconds, due to a pressuring Mrs. Fredric, he accepted and was given a folder with 400 dollars and a plane ticket to South Dakota.

His first artifact that he ever collected as a official Warehouse agent, along with Artie and Claudia was Nereus' Walking Stick. (A Shape-Shifting artifact) Collecting it from the hands of a shape-shifting stalker who loved to live other peoples life, almost costing their own as well.

He currently is employed at Warehouse 13 as a Rookie in training.

Personalty
Joeseph has a very cocky attitude, due to countless successful heists, he feels that he knows everything and will be quick to tell you so. Almost of the agents disliked him, But after a tour of Warehouse 13 and a deathly encounter of an artifact, his ego quickly went down.

Besides his attitude and ego, he really does work with others often picking up things others miss, faking his way (along with others) into anything he wants. An exceptional liar, his skills of the sleight of hand have allowed him to pickpocket almost anyone. Except Mrs. Fredric.
