Barry Rabe

Although a capable and physically imposing Jägerbar (werebear), Barry is largely obedient to his parents. He initially sets out to participate in violent coming-of-age rituals mainly because his mother encourages him to honor their heritage. Barry is trapped between his mother Diane, who pushes him toward brutality, and his father Frank, who disapproves of the old traditions and actively helps detectives track down Barry before anyone is killed.

Predatory & Savage: When threatened or during the ritual hunt (Roh-Hatz), his bear instincts take over. He is capable of cold-blooded tracking, kidnapping, and the ritualistic hunting of human beings, treating it as a game rather than a malicious act of murder.

Jägerbars are bear-like creatures that date back to 900 AD. Jägerbars can live safely in society as long as they stay away from alcohol. Most Jägerbars are politicians and mortgage lenders.

Barry abducts a man named Rocky Babb to participate in a traditional Jägerbar coming-of-age ritual hunt known as the Roh-Hatz. During an interrogation by Detective Nick Burkhardt, Barry accidentally transforms into his bear form, allowing him to realize that Nick is a Grimm.

Family Dynamics: Barry is encouraged by his mother, Diane, to honor their ancestry through these deadly hunts, while his father, Frank (played by Currie Graham), disapproves and ultimately helps Nick rescue the abducted human.
