Dale "Barbie" Barbara is a main character in the novel. He is one of the 26 survivors of the Dome.
Before the Dome[]
Barbie is a former Army lieutenant (initially referred to as a former captain by Colonel Cox), Barbara became a drifter after separating from the Army. Trapped within feet of the edge of the Dome, witnessing a woodchuck cut in half by the event, Dale was attempting to flee the town after a confrontation with Junior Rennie and his friends.
