BARRY AL-FAYEED - TYRANT
(PLAYED BY ADAM RAYNER)
When Tyrant started it was hinted that the title did not refer to the main character's brother or father, who became dictators of the fictional country in the Middle East called Abuddin, but to Barry himself. Well now that theory is an actuality.
Barry has decided to declare war on the Caliphate. He wants justice for his daughter who was killed by Ihab Rashid, who is now the leader of the Caliphate. Molly is back and egging him on with a vengeance to get Ihab.
Ihab really wants Barry dead now, too, because in an attempt to kill Rashid and any other followers, he killed the now former leader instead and now Ihab, who was the number two guy. is the boss. He solidified his power by shooting a dissenter among his cabinet in front of the whole team. He allowed his former bride-to-be to become a martyr and blow herself up for the cause. The sad part about this situation is that after the bomb didn't blow up when she pushed the buttons a few times, she reconsidered her plan. As she was walking out of the hotel, she suddenly blew up!
Barry has decided to have a curfew for the people of Abuddin. He's given the military more autonomy to round up people who they suspect are committing treason or dissenting in an unpleasing way, including religious worshipers. His "interim" government is restricting more and more of the freedoms of the people. Then, he decided to suspend the elections until the war against the Caliphate is done. This decision caused dissension among all of the political candidates and his close associates, including Leila, Jamal's former wife, Barry's best friend, Fauzi, and from his mistress, Daliyah.
Barry used to be a proponent of democracy at all costs. But now, he is becoming what he swore he wouldn't become... his father and brother! Things are getting really tense in Abuddin.
If you want to see where this storyline is going then... TRY IT!!!!!
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON FX!
