'''Bernard''' is the pilot of the [[Rescue Corps]]. Once the player has collected {{sparklium|p4|7,000}} and Bernard has been rescued, the player will gain access to [[Hero's Hideaway]]. Bernard can also be talked to at any time after [[Louie]]'s rescue in the [[Rescue Command Post]] to formally end the game by flying the Rescue Corps and any rescued [[castaway]]s home, although this seems to just be a way to view the [[credits]] and results screen again.
 
Bernard is the only member of the [[Rescue Corps]] not found in a normal way, as he is actually found as a leafling, more specifically a purple leafling.
