Editing Curtis Everett (section)

== Throughout the film ==
Late in the film, we learn he nearly ate his second in command and friend, [[Edgar]], when Edgar was a baby, and that he feels a great deal of guilt about this. His mentor, [[Gilliam]], tells him time and time again that he would make a great leader, but Curtis does not himself believe this. When he meets Wilford at the end, Wilford reveals that Gilliam and he were co-conspirators and offers Curtis the opportunity to become the new conductor of the train. Intent on doing what is right, Curtis declines and chooses to blow a hole in the train and put a stop to the corrupt society onboard.
