Therefore, Barker would rather die than let Adam devour his soul, becoming merely an appendage of Adam's body. Before his death, there was one crucial task Barker needed to complete: to cleanse his shame.

Wilbur's arrival was undoubtedly an opportunity. If Wilbur died, Fremont would certainly come. At that time, Barker could join forces with Adam to kill Fremont. Once Fremont was dead and Adam was gravely injured, Barker would then destroy the soul contract.
