Ashton

cynical opportunistic pragmatic dismissive

Ashton thrives as a black marketeer smuggling food into Dalek mining camps on occupied Earth. He deals with survivors like Wells, demanding jewels or gold for transport and provisions. Cynical and self-serving, he dismisses resistance ideals as suicidal folly, embodying the survivalist compromises forced by invasion. His operations hinge on evading Robomen and predators like the Slyther while turning desperation into profit.
