Arthur Terrall

Arthur appears in the chaos of the spacecraft as an unnamed figure who shares the Doctor’s immediate fate during the energy snake attack. Lying motionless beside the fallen Time Lord, he offers silent solidarity in the crisis’s first violent moments. His presence anchors the Doctor’s physical struggle—literally and symbolically—while the escalating supernatural threat renders his identity and role secondary. Arthur embodies the reactive witness: neither leader nor combatant, but a bystander caught within forces beyond comprehension.
