The son of a henchman and a henchmen himself, and not a very competent one. Bern's two modes are "berserk rage" and "sullen, introverted, and useless," and he switches between them at inconvenient times. He'd escape if he had half a chance, but he doesn't because he's stuck on an island made out of garbage.

Tremendously intelligent, not that anyone's noticed.

Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide
Our time is short, Our time is nigh
Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide
We've had our chance, Lord knows we tried
