Tick-Tock

A Pawn who overhears CAS soldiers talking about how Pawns are "smart bombs" that, if they were really clever, wouldn't want to blow themselves up, and has an existential crisis as a result of realising this. Serial number T1CT0K-86345-2345L but nicknamed "Tick-Tock" by Harry.
When Tick-Tock weighs the options and decides not to blow up, he panics when Arthur finds him. Arthur is surprised that Tick-Tock is afraid of him when he shouldn't be. He apologises for Tick-Tock's condition and takes him back to the castle, promising not to take the fear away. 
Arthur removes Tick-Tock's grenade, which Tick-Tock doesn't quite believe. Arthur laughs and tells him to hold onto that cynicism, as it will keep him alive, and takes him to Harry, making a request of Harry to watch over Tick-Tock and only ordering him to reply truthfully whether he will accept the request.
In real life, and on the "Happy Land" train, Tick-Tock rests on Harry's head.
