The Barber was the servant of Anansi and other gods.[which?] He was given immortality as part of his work to spread the word of the gods through the stories he told. He built the web that his story engine lived on. His work was so successful that the Gods didn’t need him anymore and so he wanted revenge. He hoped to use stories he took from captured humans, Omo Esosa, Rashid Abubakar, Tunde Adebayo and Obioma Okoli, to power his engine as well as keeping Abena hostage. The Fifteenth Doctor confronted him about his actions, and told him that if he enacted his plan he would kill all the humans on Earth. He agreed to allow the Engine he created to explode and let his captives free. Omo forgave him for his actions giving him the barbershop and a proper name of Adétòkunbo.
