disoriented by modernity
A disoriented man from 13th-century England displaced into modern London by a temporal anomaly. His fear of the unknown manifests as aggression, particularly against the Doctor, whom he regards as a 'witch' and 'wizard.' His language betrays a worldview steeped in medieval superstition and urgency while also revealing fragments of his identity, such as his reference to 'Richard' and 'John,' likely Richard the Lionheart or an English monarch contemporary to his era. His actions are driven by desperation to return home, even when he resorts to violence out of panic.
