Newbies Guide to Doctor Who

Doctor:

The Seventh The Seventh Doctor is short, dark-haired, and speaks with a slight scottish accent. He thinks of himself as "Time's Champion", deliberately seeking out situations to "put right". He usually has a plan, and is willing to manipulate everyone - including his companions - to achieve it.

Companions:

None.

Recurring Characters:

Lord Grayvorn In Excelis Dawns (Big Finish Audio), the Doctor encountered a warlord called Lord Grayvorn, and accompanied him on a quest to find a mysterious relic, which was supposedly the gateway to the afterlife. Grayvorn fell off a tower whilst struggling with the Mother Superior for possession of the Relic, but somehow survived. A thousand years later, in Excelis Rising (Big Finish Audio), the Doctor again encountered Grayvorn, whose life had been prolonged by the relic, and defeated his plan to take the relic for himself. The Doctor believed Grayvorn to have been killed, but his mind survived, trapped in the stone of the Excelis Museum.

The Mother Superior The Doctor encountered the Mother Superior of a convent in Excelis during Excelis Dawns (Big Finish Audio). The Mother Superior didn't want Lord Grayvorn to have control of the relic, wanting to make use of its powers herself. She fell off a tower whilst struggling with Grayvorn for possession of the Relic. During Excelis Rising (Big Finish Audio), the Doctor realised that she had been sharing Grayvorn's mind. His actions separated the two of them, and the Mother Superior's soul was absorbed into the relic.
