And from this elevated position he is determinded to get even with Septimus Macready, captain of the lighthouse tender, Caryatid, for whom he nurses a long term grievance. So when Macready's ship literally steam-rollers Bishop Island's bakery, Stanier sees a heaven-sent opportunity to encompass the ruin of his old rival. Stanier is eager for power and influence - and the prospect of open-cast mining in the area holds considerable appeal.
