[#]WordWeavers If you met a person like your antagonist in real life, what would you do?
Barbican is based on a malicious border guard who interrogated and threatened me for ninety minutes before denying me entry to teach a four day class (about tech developed in the UK, so perfectly legal). Stay on your guard, stay calm, respectfully correct every assertion and accusation. Some things you just have to endure until they pass.
ETA: I was getting names from old words for castles and fortifications when I wrote that part of the book. A barbican is "the outer defence of a castle or walled city, especially a double tower above a gate or drawbridge." That felt right for someone controlling rights of entry to a country.
