Baker emerges first as a seasoned guerrilla in London’s subterranean war against the Daleks, designated simply as ‘Major Baker’ once he enlists with resistance cells led by Dortmun, Tyler, Campbell, and Barbara Wright. His early role is defined by ruthless pragmatism: he maps escape corridors along the Cornish coast, carries the drugged Doctor to sanctuary, and reports grim casualty lists in the warehouse hideout, all while pressing for solitary survival despite his loyalty to the cause. Years later he resurfaces under Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart as UNIT’s tactical commander, directing dismounted patrols into Wenley Moor’s infested caves and enforcing martial discipline at the research center itself. There Baker repeatedly clashes with the Doctor over non-lethal solutions, favoring immediate firepower and strict security protocols that prioritize eradication over exploration. Captured during a mission and stricken by alien pathogen, he nonetheless maintains command even as the virus spreads through the unit, embodying a persistent resolve to close hostile contacts regardless of cost.
