History

Background

Throughout The Series

Melanie's leadership

Bennett is a reserved member of Snowpiercer's management and follows Melanie Cavill's orders closely. Despite his devoted loyalty, he did not outright explain that he felt uneasy about pushing ahead at full speed despite Javi's warnings that the mountains around were not safe. When the mountain collapses, he investigates the damage done to one of the Ag-Sec carts with Melanie, and she vows him to secrecy; on the inside, however, he is conflicted and believes she is starving the train from the Tail to First.^[1]

Bennett remains loyal to Melanie, however, throughout the troubles that ensue surrounding her leadership. When the train learns that Wilford is dead, Bennett remains loyal to Melanie despite Javi betraying the Engine. Bennett remarks that they sit tight in the Engine room — sealed off from the rest of Snowpiercer — until Melanie radios on the comms backup.

Despite his loyalty to Melanie, he is conflicted once again when Snowpiercer receives an interesting signal from an unknown source. Bennett checks out the satellite feed and instantly notices something amiss, bringing them offline in an effort to hide what he has found from Melanie and Javi. It is later revealed that the signal is Big Alice, and when Melanie questions Bennett about lying, he remarks that he believes it is time to give up and welcome Wilford again.^[2]
