Collins serves as Stargrove Manor’s butler under Professor Scarman’s employ. A dutiful but visibly nervous figure, he navigates the manor’s growing tension with palpable anxiety, evident in his overly polite deference to Namin and urgent warnings to the Doctor and Sarah. Though his role is subordinate, his actions reveal a reluctant conscience—he aids the intruders in secret and warns of Namin’s danger, acting out of self-preservation and an uneasy recognition of the unfolding supernatural threat. His murder serves as Namin’s first overt act of ritual sacrifice, framed as divine justice for perceived disloyalty.
