The Winkster is a one-time character who appeared in Barney Live! In New York City. While he is the closest thing to a real antagonist the Barney series has ever gotten (next to Cody from Barney's Great Adventure) it is revealed that he is just "a silly fellow who likes playing jokes and tricks, and disappears as quick as a wink".

Barney Live! In New York City[]
The Winkster takes the Barney Bag while Barney and the other kids are helping get Baby Bop's yellow blankey out of the door of their clubhouse. Barney and the kids chase him around the backyard and have to catch him so they can show the special surprise inside The Barney Bag. He later explains that he took the bag because he really wanted to have friends to play with him and thought getting everyone to chase him would help him make the friends he never had, which he finally finds in both Barney and his friends.
