Breachmen risk their lives for me. With this… I pledge the same to you.
Wilford gave a pin to every Breachmen to remind them how important they are.


The Breachmen are a department aboard Snowpiercer. Their duty is to aid the Engineering Department in carrying out repair and maintenance work in the harsh environments of the freeze. Their uniforms are blue shirts and red jumpers.

History[]

The Breachman's Garrison is located in Third Class. Equipped with loads of gym equipment to train for the harsh working conditions of the freeze, it has been renamed "MuscleBreach".

The breachmen were believers of Wilford's vision. When the revolution came to pass on Snowpiercer, the Breachmen refrained from taking sides, preferring to remain neutral. According to Lead Breachman Boscovic, they were waiting out the democratic regime as they believed it would fail eventually.

When Lights was attacked in the Market and her two fingers removed, the Breachmen were suspected of the act though Boscovic denied this, he did admit that they were waiting for when Wilford would retake the train.

All of the Breachmen (except Bojan), were later murdered as part of Wilford's plan. After taking control of the train, Wilford personally executed their 8 murderers (including Eugenia) in a car using Lung of Ice.

Later, after attempting to separate The Aquarium car from the rest of the train, Bojan fights and is overwhelmed by Jackboots. He's then believed to be killed when the car is destroyed. In reality, Wilford's men rescued him from the destruction of the Aquarium.

On the Pirate Train, Andre Layton, Josie Wellstead and Bennett Knox handle the outside work with Layton effectively working as an acting Breachman. Layton mentions that without the three of them, they have no one else for outside work.

After the re-unification of both trains, Ben and Alex are seen performing tasks that would normally fall to the Breachmen, such as removing the rail clamps from the abandoned Big Alice cars following the First Year Cull.

Following the Separation of Snowpiercer and Big Alice once more in the Original Sinners it is unclear if a new team of Breachmen were trained for duty, however it is highly likely.
