"Great. We're all bloody inspired."
--Newt, The Maze Runner
Newt is the Second-in-Command of the Gladers. He is described with long blond hair and a heavy limp from attempting suicide when he was a Runner. He was taller than Alby, despite the one-year age difference, and was named after Isaac Newton. He is described as having an "odd accent," and Dashner has said he thought of him as being either English or Scottish.

Physical Appearance and Personality[]
Newt was generally kinder than many other Gladers, though he could still be rough when he had to keep order. He always tried to look out for his friends and seemed the most upset by the deaths during The Scorch Trials. Newt had a strong accent (either English or Scottish, according to Dashner) and frequently used British curses, most notably "bloody".
Newt was described as being rather tall and muscular, with blond hair that came down over his shoulders and a square jaw. He had a limp from his attempted suicide, during which he climbed one of the walls in the Maze and leaped off it. In the books, Newt is often "the older boy", hinting that he's at least older than Thomas.
In the films, Newt is played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who portrayed him with short hair and a distinctive English accent.
