Sergeant Paterson
paranoid
blustering
defensive
authoritarian
A former survivalist instructor in Perivale whose discipline has curdled into paranoia under the Master’s manipulations. Paterson clings to his title and commands like a drowning man to a raft, masking his unraveling confidence with bluster about self-defense and medical neglect. His demands for accountability—from the Doctor, from fate—reveal a man who once enforced order now grasping at scraps of control. Beneath the barking orders and brittle jokes lies the quiet terror of someone whose world has turned upside down, leaving him prey rather than predator.
