Simple and classic. Mineshaft Man is no stranger to surviving in harsh conditions, like abandoned mine shafts! An experienced coal miner, he was separated from the rest of his mining crew during a freak earthquake and was thrown down into the nether - where he spent years after years finding an active portal to the normal realm.

Feel free to make a Mineshaft Man in your own way and maybe even give him a deeper back story as well. Or even create an all new lost crew member of his. Good luck miners! :D
