Duke

Duke is a character in the Power Miners theme.
==Description==
In both of his 2009 variations, Duke has the standard sleeveless Power Miners suit, with a drill symbol in the middle of the torso. He has a thick black unibrow and a scar on his lower left cheek. In 2010, Duke is seen sporting the new silver, heat-resistant armor.
The "dirt-faced" variation has coal dust covering most of his face, with only the area around his eyes being clean. This version also often comes with goggles attached to the helmet, implicitly accounting for the lack of dirt around his eyes. He has a smile on one side and a scared expression on the other side of his head. This variant is considered the "main" version since it used for Duke's online bio and appears more frequently than the other two, as well as being the only version to appear in the 2010 sets.
The "clean-faced" variation has a very clean face, although he still appears to have some coal dust on his temples. Instead of grinning, he has a more serious grimace. Sometimes, he is depicted without his helmet, showing off his dark brown hair.
== Background ==
Duke is a veteran miner, although he's never seen anything like the Rock Monsters before.

== Notes ==
* Due to sharing Duke's uniform and occupation, the Miner is frequently mistaken for a variant of Duke by fans. However, no official sources from 2009 corroborate this fan theory; Shop At Home refers to this minifigure generically as a "miner" while giving Duke his name,2009 Shop At Home Catalog - page 29 and they are shown as separate characters in LEGO Club Magazine comics, LEGO Power Miners - The Movie, and 8709 Underground Mining Station. Furthermore, the Miner lacks Duke's unibrow and scar, while having stubble that is not present on Duke's clean-faced variant.
* Duke is currently the only Power Miner whose hair colour is confirmed as dark brown.
