Minho Character Analysis

The Keeper of the Runners, Minho is in charge of leading the other Runners through the Maze. Confrontational and somewhat impulsive, Minho leads by intuition rather than thought-out planning, which sometimes gets him into trouble. Minho, however, is always willing to own up to a mistake he’s made, which makes him a trustworthy and loyal friend to Thomas.
