This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character Brian Edwin "Barrelmaster" Cooper, a major character in the Multiverser novels who debuts in Con Version and returns in A Dozen Verses.  This character sheet includes everything that is confirmed about him, plus a few extrapolations, in those books, and thus represents him as he is at the end of the twelfth Multiverser novel.

The picture was found on the internet; it's not completely accurate, but it will suffice.

To assist the referee, most entries include at least one coded reference to a chapter or chapters in which the item is mentioned; thus by cross-referencing with the story you can determine the details.  The chapters are identified by which character's story is being told, and thus most of those here begin with "Co"; this is followed by a three-digit number indicating the chapter number for that character, not the chapter number for the book.  Thus if you want to find the first reference to the Mister Justice name, you read here that it appears in Co023, and on the index page for the eleventh novel you search for the text "Cooper 23" and that will take you to the link for that chapter.  Obviously the chapters beginning "Ko" are Joe's story,and thus "Kondor", those beginning "Ha" are Lauren's story, and thus "Hastings", those beginning "Sl" are Bob's story, "Slade", those beginning "Br" are Derek's story, "Brown", those beginning "Be" are James Beam, those beginning "Ta" are Brian Edwin "Barrelmaster" Cooper, and those beginning "Co" are Brian "Barrelmaster" Cooper.
