Mike Yates

A UNIT operative from the Doctor’s past, Yates surfaces as a ghostly apparition in the Dark Tower’s corridors. His illusory form speaks with urgent persuasion, claiming his other selves—his past and future incarnations—need the Doctor’s intervention. The plea carries the weight of institutional loyalty, reflecting Yates’s long association with UNIT’s command structure and direct history with the Doctor. His presence is fleeting but insistent, a spectral echo of steadfast camaraderie distorted by the Tower’s malevolent sorcery.
