In the beginning, Lief and Barda were not best friends. In fact, during their first trip, to the Forests of Silence, they had a bit of animosity between each other. Lief did not like knowing that Barda had protected him for all of his life, which he believed took away from the pride he found in knowing he had gotten away from Grey Guards so many times in the past. And Barda disliked having Lief with him, as he believed a child would slow him down. They grew close though, and became great companions. Barda is probably a kind of honourary uncle to Lief and Jasmine's children, Anna, Jarred and Endon, but he is not related to them by blood at all.
