George Patrick Barnham

childlike vulnerable compliant loyal resourceful confused protective physically strong hesitant
George Patrick Barnham is a prisoner at Stangmoor Prison and the first human test subject for the Keller Process, a treatment designed to extract criminal impulses. The process strips his memories, dulls his emotions, and leaves him confused, childlike, and detached—earning him the nickname 'zombie' from guards and inmates. Despite his altered state, he retains physical strength and protective instincts, forming quick loyalties to figures like the Doctor and Jo Grant. His mind, now free of criminal impulses, repels the Keller Machine, positioning him as its natural counter. Loyalty, compliance, and flashes of resourcefulness define his character, revealing heroic potential beneath his vulnerability.
