I like Ser Barristan in the books & show, too, but how does his primary trait mechanic on this card reflect anything about the character or his storyline?  Theories?

 

Really wish FFG would publish a guide with the card designers' thoughts on why they picked the traits they did for everyone.  Some are obvious, but this one completely escapes me.

Im not sure where your confusion is coming from, in the early stages of the books he is a knight and a kingsguard member

I'm thinking that by trait he meant character ability? That's really the only way that comment makes sense and if so I guess it is supposed to symbolize the fact that when Barristan is on somebodies side he kind of shakes everything up and can rally people/things/places who left back to your side.
