Mr. Berry is another hired thug who works for Mrs. Holland after Mr. Hopkins is killed. Unlike Mr. Hopkins he does not seem to be perturbed by the idea of killing young girls. He is more than willing to kill Adelaide. He beats people up on Mrs. Holland's orders, and displays absolutely no conscience. He is a member of the Temperance society, which means that he will not drink alcohol and believes that it is evil. It is unclear whether this is because he is a recovering alcoholic or whether he avoids alcohol for moral reasons.
