Haynes

competent grounded reliable pragmatic cooperative resilient determined
Bert Haynes is a seasoned colliery worker at Llanfairfach Colliery whose life ended underground. Years of practical mining forged a resilience he maintained even in death, his passing reported to the Doctor during a fragile moment of community gathering. Though his life is summarized in a single line—'poor Bert'—his absence shapes the mine’s immediate crisis, as the lift cage failure that traps Jo Grant occurs in the same shaft system where he once worked. His death underscores the colliery’s decay, linking his fate to the systemic failures that later endanger others.
