===Youth=== Like the other Primarchs, Barnabas Goodfellow was one of twenty genetically engineered "sons" of the Emperor of Mankind. Like his "brothers," Barnabas was taken as an infant by the powers of Chaos, and removed to a far-flung world in an effort to prevent the coming Age of the Imperium. The infant Goodfellow's capsule fell to earth on [[Goodland]], where it was discovered by a group of noblemen hunting in the forest. Inside the capsule they found a child, surrounded by a glowing aura. He was taken back to [[Bob]], one of the two Consuls who governed Goodland, who adopted the infant as his son and named him Barnabas. Barnabas's arrival on Goodland was a portentous time, and many reported strange sights. Most notably, Bob dreamed of a bunch of hot babes in bikinis, and found himself in a pool full of champagne and rose petals. Upon awakening, Bob assembled his bodyguard and went to the pool, where they found the child. The name Bob gave the child, Barnabas, means "Too Rad 4 Sad". Goodfellow would also be raised by Bob's Seneschal, [[Arghburglemurlgeus]], a strong-willed and capable centaur. Barnabas was a prodigy, growing fast in both body and dick size. By age ten, he had mastered every subject the wisest men of Goodland could teach him, and his insights into matters of history, philosophy, and fashion often stunned his elders. However, his greatest talents were as a military leader. These talents led his father to give him command of an expeditionary force to [[Crapland]], a mountainous region in the far north of Goodland, whose stoned inhabitants had annoyed the civilized regions for years and successfully resisted every previous military campaign. Not only did barnabas fight a brilliant campaign but he also earned the respect of the stoners who never again annoyed the more civilised parts of Goodland. However, on his return to the capital Barnabas found the city in chaos, as his father's co-Consul, [[Evileticus]], had attempted a coup. Evileticus led a faction of Goodland's nobility who were used to enjoying their wealth and position at the expense of armies of slaves, and resented Bob's legislation favoring the common people, among whom he was immensely popular. Approaching the city, Barnabas and his soldiers saw the city in chaos, being sacked by mobs of Evileticus's men, while the Consul House was under siege. Barnabas left his men to restore order to the city, while he rushed to the Consul House and lifted the siege, only to find his father close to death, surrounded by his loyal bodyguards. He had been mortally wounded by an assassin in Evileticus's employ, and with his dying breath, told Barnabas who was responsible. Barnabas swiftly crushed the rebellion and, amid a wave of popular relief, assumed the title of sole Consul of Goodland. He set about punishing the treachery and carrying out his father's vision. Evileticus and his co-conspirators were executed, and their lands and wealth were redistributed to the people. With superhuman energy, Barnabas reorganized Googland's entire social structure, creating a meritocracy where office and honours were given to the hard-working, rather than the wealthy and influential. Under his leadership, Goodland prospered as it never had before.
