Crichton

disciplined observant professionally courteous calm under pressure
Crichton is a no-nonsense UNIT noncommissioned officer who greets retired Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart with measured ceremony, pouring whisky as a bridge between military protocol and personal history.

His loyalty lies with UNIT’s command structure, yet he adapts when temporal anomalies fracture protocol, maintaining calm focus even as time-sensitive revelations demand immediate adjustment.
