Robins

dutiful reliable initially volatile under affliction aggressive when distressed

Robins operates as a UNIT soldier assigned to field operations under Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and Captain Hawkins during the Silurian crisis at Wenley Moor. He manages communications via field telephone, confirming team isolation when lines fail. Duty drives his initial reliability, but exposure to the Silurian plague exposes fragility: he shakes, wrings hands, grows confused, scratches walls obsessively, and lashes out aggressively when touched. His swift decline underscores the plague's insidious spread among humans confronting the reptilian ancients.
