Michael Keating

A hardened survivor operating in the Underground's oppressive hierarchy, Michael Keating moves with assertive confidence among Pluto's rebels. His sudden emergence at the subway confrontation signals he commands respect or fear in the faction—enough to be named by strangers as part of their lethal coalition. Keating's posture in the scene suggests a pragmatic survivor, aligned against the Doctor's mission yet momentarily aligned with the rebels against a common enemy. His role remains ambiguous: neither fully ally nor outright foe, his actions are dictated by loyalty to Pluto's regime above all else.
