Morton

Morton began as a civilian tourist from Alabama, distinguished by a cowboy hat and camera, whose curiosity about time travelers drew him into the orbit of crisis on an alien asteroid. That brief entanglement with the Doctor’s companions faded, but his fascination with the extraordinary did not; when the chance arose, he aligned himself with UNIT’s structured response to the inexplicable. As a field operative under Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, he performed as a dutiful soldier, transporting injured personnel and executing tactical orders without fanfare. By the time Broton’s crisis demanded physical intervention, Morton’s instinctive loyalty to authority led him to act despite the odds: he lunged to defend his commander from behind, only to be throttled into unconsciousness or worse. His end mirrored his role—quietly necessary, easily overmatched, a loyal functionary erased from the record.
