Lodge

opportunistic cynical self-preserving disruptive

Lodge is a detainee in a collapsing military detention center whose survival instincts sharply outweigh loyalty to others. Early on he outlines the military’s collapse and the chaos around them, but his focus remains on exploiting the situation rather than leading. When he proposes a staged fight to create cover, it’s not to help the Doctor and Sarah but to serve his own path to freedom. His cynicism gives way to naked opportunism when he seizes a soldier’s weapon and bolts, ending the alliance without hesitation.
