Barker (The Cambridge Spy)
Barker was an agent for MI6 who was secretly working for the Russians.
Biography
Barker worked with a Russian spy who went by the alias of Miles Barrington Smythe. On 23rd November, 1963, Miles left secret documents for Barker which instructed him to use his government employee card to access information in William Pike's cab before being arrested by the Police. Bill Pike was taken to a police station along with Jorjie Turner from 2050, due to her strange communications device. Barker questioned Bill as to why the Russian documents ended up in his cab. K9 Mark 2, Jorjie and Starkey rescued him because he was the great-grandfather of their friend Darius Pike.
Barker later met with Miles to discuss their close escape. He complained that Miles took his time setting the self-destruct and that "the mechanical-dog" almost revealed him. Miles told him he was interested to see it's capabilities, Barker hoped the next time he passes material on to him he'll take better care of it. Miles argued that he needed to hide it quickly and the Cab was convinient, Barker handed him a spare copy of the Document. (K9TV: The Cambridge Spy)
