Gustavo Haynes

The son of Sheriff Rhett Haynes, Gus is an insecure teen with a complicated relationship with his father. He is part of the group of Thistlewood teens that the Interns spend time socialising with, though he generally doesn't like the Interns due to their various accusations leveled at his father. Friends with Angela Mindock, Remi Gilmore and Strega Holowitz

History
The interns first met Gus in episode 1 where he was hanging out at the radio tower with his usual crowd. He complained about his dad forbidding him from joining the military when the interns arrived. He made references to the state of the Foster marriage and told the interns that there hadn't been any interns for five years. When Leslea told Gus that he had seen Sheriff Haynes die, Gus uses the radio tower to contact his dad and got in trouble. He accused Leslea of playing a joke and Leslea threw their bloodied t-shirt at him.

In episode 13 he came to the Interns for help, as he had lost Elijah DiSavona's necklace at the Thistlewood Beach. After a while of fruitless searching Gus was kidnapped by the Selachi. The Interns followed him and in episode 14 travel to Atlantis to rescue him, and get Elijah's pendent back. They found him unconscious in a bubble being held captive by adolescent Selachi, and he was returned to them after Fliss and Joshuwa fought a pair of gum sharks. After he wakes up he offers to get the Interns invites to a party Elijah is throwing.

Personality
Gus can be quite full of bravado and openly rude to people, but also has a tendency towards nervousness and babbling. When spending time with the Interns where he needed there help he talked too much and mostly acted worried.

He is extremely protective of his father and refuses to consider any of the darker things that the Interns accuse him of.

Trivia
He came fourth in an interstate spelling bee when he was 8
