Fitz Kreiner

This is a list of fictional characters who were companions of the Doctor, in various spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction television series, ''Doctor Who''.

A

Amy

Amy, portrayed by Ciara Janson, is a companion of the Fifth Doctor in the ''Key 2 Time'' series, which includes the plays '' The Judgement of Isskar'', '' The Destroyer of Delights'' and '' The Chaos Pool''.

She is a human "tracer", a device designed to track down the segments of the Key to Time across the universe. When the Doctor meets Amy, she is just a few seconds old and recruits the Doctor as her companion to find the Key. At the end of ''The Chaos Pool'', Romana invites Amy to live on Gallifrey and enroll in their Academy.

Amy (now renamed Abby) and her sister Zara return in their own mini-series '' Graceless''.

Antimony

Antimony was a companion of the Seventh Doctor and appeared in the webcast story ''Death Comes to Time'' by Colin Meek (widely understood to be a pseudonym for Dan Freedman). At the start of the story, the listener was not aware of the circumstances of his and the Doctor's meeting. Antimony appeared to be a young humanoid male who was slightly unworldly and naive, for example believing there were still Allosauruses roaming the Earth.

During Antimony and the Doctor's battle against the renegade Time Lord, General Tannis, it was revealed that Antimony was in fact an android constructed by the Doctor. The Doctor in ''Death Comes to Time'' was very old and, saddened by the death and departure of many companions, had built Antimony as a companion who would never leave him. Tannis totally destroyed Antimony, leaving the Doctor grief-stricken over Antimony's death.

Kevin Eldon provided the voice of Antimony. The illustrations, by Lee Sullivan, depicted Antimony as a humanoid with purplish skin, nonetheless bearing a slight resemblance to Eldon.

Antranak

Antranak was the name Erimem gave to the stray cat she brought aboard the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS at the end of ''The Eye of the Scorpion.'' Erimem had adopted the cat, who had in the course of events absorbed a malevolent alien intelligence harmlessly into its mind. Erimem and Peri were quite fond of the cat, the Doctor less so. Antranak departed in '' Nekromanteia'', swapping places with the non-corporeal manifestation of a being called Shara, thereby saving the planet Talderun from destruction. The Doctor later wondered if the alien creature in the cat's mind forced him to act. Erimem, however, remained firm in her belief that her noble cat sacrificed himself of his own accord.

ARC

ARC was an alien creature who travelled with the Eleventh Doctor, Alice Obiefune and John Jones in several 2014/2015 Titan Comics stories.

Lysandra Aristedes

Captain Lysandra Aristedes was introduced as a member of the Forge in the standalone Forge novel ''Project: Valhalla'' (2005). She was first voiced by Maggie O'Neill in the 2010 Seventh Doctor audio '' Project: Destiny'', by which time (2026) she has become a high-ranking member of the Forge. She initially hates the Doctor, believing him to be responsible for the deaths of her friends when the Forge's previous headquarters were destroyed. However, she learns to respect the Doctor when she sees him develop a cure for a mutating plague sweeping London where her supervisor Nimrod explicitly modified the cure to kill those infected, and ultimately orders the final destruction of the Forge. Three months later, the Doctor returns and invites her to travel with him, as explained in ''Black and White''. She and the Doctor also travel with another military companion, Private Sally Morgan. They are heard together in the Companion Chronicles story ''Project: Nirvana'' and their final story '' Gods and Monsters''.

He returns it during the events of '' The Boy That Time Forgot'', travelling with the Doctor in the subsequent three-part story '' Time Reef''. In the accompanying single-part story, '' A Perfect World'', Brewster leaves the TARDIS to live in the present day (2008). The 12-part mini-series '' The Three Companions'' reveals an adventure he had with Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and Polly Wright during the time he had the TARDIS.

After Cat was arrested for the murder of an Archbishop, she and the Doctor are sent to the Rome space station to be tried by the Pope. When their spaceship is attacked, the Doctor reprogrammes its robots to defend it. With access to the control room cut off and the TARDIS trapped in a stasis field, The Doctor notes that there is only one robot left who can save the situation. The novella ends at this point, the implication being that Cat is that robot.

Brooke

Brooke is a companion of the Fifth Doctor from the Big Finish Productions audio drama series ''The Diary of River Song''. The pair are already travelling together by the time River Song encounters them. Brooke accompanies the Doctor and River to Vienna. It later transpires that Brooke is a clone of River, sent to the Doctor as an assassin by Madame Kovarian after her previous plot to kill the Doctor on a future incarnation failed.

He accompanied the Doctor, together with his niece Louise and granddaughter Susan, to the year 2150, where they discovered that the Daleks had invaded Earth. After helping to defeat the Daleks, the Doctor returned him to London a few minutes before the robbery was due to take place, enabling him to catch the thieves. The temporal paradox created by this action is not addressed in the film.

Cribbins later played Wilfred Mott from 2007 to 2010 in the revived ''Doctor Who'' television series.

After the Doctor's investigations saw him working with German and British intelligence to thwart an attempted takeover of Earth by a race of sentient waveforms, he invited Constance to travel with him as a temporary reprieve from her duties. While on board the TARDIS, Constance encountered foes such as the Daleks (''Order of the Daleks'') and the Rani (''Planet of the Rani'') before she decided to return home. However, her departure was interrupted when she discovered a telegram announcing the death of Henry, only for a plea for help from a trapped alien refugee to lead to the discovery that Henry had actually faked his death to marry a Russian agent that he had been having an affair with.

During this time, she got the nickname Cinder. She met the Doctor when she was saved from a Dalek patrol by the TARDIS crash landing. After helping The Doctor discover a Dalek weapons factory where they were building a de-mat weapon, a temporal cannon, in order to destroy Gallifrey, they escaped and warned the Time Lords of the danger. After meeting Rassilon and the High Council on Gallifrey, Cinder was kidnapped by the Time Lords Karlax and The Castellan, and subjected to a mind probe to verify The Doctor's story. The Doctor rescued her from them and they fled to the Death Zone on Gallifrey, and took Borusa, who was being used by Rassilon as a possibility engine, from his captivity in the Dark Tower at its center. After the Time Lords decided that the best course of action was to destroy Moldox, and all the surrounding systems by using the Tear of Isha on the Eye of Tantalus, a black hole being used by the Daleks to power their temporal cannon, and thereby killing billions of sentient beings, she and the doctor fled with the Time Lords' possibility engine. During their time together The Doctor and Cinder realised that there was more to life than fighting the time war and planned to travel together after the Daleks where defeated. However she was shot and killed by Karlax, a Time Lord who had been sent to kill The Doctor, in order to remove the random elements from possibility engine predictions, before this could happen. She threw herself between them, taking the shot meant for The Doctor. After her death the Doctor left Karlax to die at the hands of the Dalek Eternity Circle. After the liberation of Moldox, The Doctor located the remains of Cinder's family and buried them at their homestead. The Doctor (but not the reader) discovers her real name and places a proper marker with it on her grave. Before leaving, he makes her a promise. "No more."

Having been brought into the TARDIS, Justin believes the Doctor to be an angel of God, the TARDIS a miracle and their quest a crusade, despite the Doctor's attempts to persuade him otherwise. Eventually, with the help of Rassilon, Merlin, and the Matrix-powered Time Lord agent known as Shayde, the Doctor confronts Melanicus in a time-altered version of a Stockbridge church. During the ensuing fight the Doctor is knocked unconscious, while Justin kills Melanicus at the cost of his own life.
With the time stream restored the Doctor regains consciousness in the church, now named St. Justinian's, wondering if it has all been a dream.

She survived, however, and later resurfaced in Kenya, 1953 in the 2010 story '' A Thousand Tiny Wings'', where the Doctor takes her on as a travelling companion. However, after she steals the Doctor's TARDIS and uses it to create a new timeline in which the Nazis rule the galaxy in '' The Architects of History'', the Time Lords take action and send the Doctor of that alternate timeline to totally remove her from history.

In July 2013, Klein returned for another trilogy of tales with the Seventh Doctor, also accompanied by her assistant Will Arrowsmith, the Doctor wanting her aid to both investigate the remaining anomalies of her paradoxical existence and help him tie up some loose ends in this life out of concern that his successor will be unable to be as ruthless as he has been.

An "eco-warrior", she was rescued by the Valeyard from being hit by a police car during an environmental protest, and she accompanied him on his quest to conquer time. He later killed her, to make the point that he was no longer the Doctor. It is hinted she might have known the Doctor before he became the Valeyard as she frequently refers to him, much to the Valeyard's annoyance, as the Doctor, "Champion of Justice".

In Big Finish's regular ''Doctor Who'' continuity, Martin is a friend of Sarah Jane Smith, and appeared in the first series of ''Sarah Jane'' audio adventures. When the ''Sarah Jane'' audios were initially announced, the role of Ellie Martin was listed as (books companion) Sam Jones; her "eco-warrior" past may be a reference to that former origin.

Heather McCrimmon

Heather McCrimmon was a companion of the Tenth Doctor in the comic strips printed in the Doctor Who Adventures magazine. A history student at Edinburgh university, she was created by a reader as part of a competition to create and design a new companion for the strip. She debuted in the issue on sale 31 December 2008.

Mila was a human prisoner of the Daleks, who experimented on her using bio-engineered viruses. As a result of these endeavours, she lost most of her memories and eventually became invisible and non-corporeal, as well as gaining other strange abilities. She escaped from the Daleks and sneaked on board the First Doctor's TARDIS, possibly during the events of '' The Chase''. She remained in the TARDIS, unseen by anyone for centuries. She silently watched the Doctor, growing obsessed by his heroics and longing to be a real companion. During the Sixth Doctor's life, she met Charley Pollard, the only companion unprotected by the TARDIS' biological defences. Mila managed to transfer her afflictions to Charley, while simultaneously adopting Charley's physical form. She was then able to travel with the Doctor, pretending to be Charley, while the real Charley was left invisible and alone. Eventually Charley was cured by the Viyrans and Mila gave her life to save the Doctor. The Viyrans also altered the Sixth Doctor's memories so that he remembers his adventures with Charley as being with Mila's name and face, thus avoiding the potential temporal paradox of the Sixth Doctor meeting an older Charley before his eighth incarnation would save the younger one.

Lucie Miller

This Doctor (played by David Collings) had raised Ruth since 2039, when her father, Dr Vollmer, was lost in the destruction of the Deep-sea Energy Exploration Project (DEEP) undersea naval base. When the DEEP was rediscovered in 2066, the Doctor hired a mini-sub to get to the base before the naval recovery team. However, Ruth stowed away on board the mini-sub against the Doctor's wishes.

After Ruth and the Doctor reached the base, Ruth eventually discovered that the Doctor was responsible for her father's death. There had been illegal genetic experimentation going on in the base and the Doctor had killed Vollmer to prevent any information on the experiments from getting out. Still believing that the ends justified the means, the Doctor had simply returned to the DEEP base to regain his TARDIS, which had been left there when he abandoned the base.

Horrified that the man who raised her had been lying to her, Ruth shot the Doctor and watched his face change. Ruth shot the new incarnation of the Doctor, and as he changed again, wondered how many times she would have to shoot him before he stayed dead.

She first meets the Doctor in the battlefields of France, subsequently becoming involved in a chase across time pursued by the Daleks. She is described as having extremely dark eyes, which are revealed to be caused by "retrogenitor particles" which the Daleks have implanted in her in an attempted to destroy the Time Lords. Ultimately the plan backfires when the Dalek Time Controller rewrites time, eliminating the particles. Molly subsequently returns to the First World War battlefields, later being reunited with the Doctor in 1918 in the midst of a Viyran incursion.

A-Lux was a resort planet which the Ice Warriors were planning to freeze and turn into a new Mars. Olla helped the Doctor and Frobisher defeat the Ice Warriors, and when Frobisher elected to stay behind, the Doctor took her on board as his newest companion. The Doctor, however, was mildly disturbed by the way Olla kept waiting on him hand and foot.

Her stint in the TARDIS was short-lived. In the very next story, ''Redemption'' (DWM #134), Olla's former master, the Vachysian warlord Skaroux (a legal enforcer for the Galactic Federation), intercepted the TARDIS and demanded her return. It transpired that Olla had stolen Skaroux's money and then become a fugitive. The Doctor agreed to hand her over on the condition that she receive a fair trial, and Skaroux and Olla left together.

P

Majenta Pryce

Majenta Pryce is introduced in the ''Doctor Who Magazine'' issue 394 comic strip "Hotel Historia" as an alien entrepreneur running an illegal time-travel operation on Earth. Her organisation is shut down by the Tenth Doctor, and she swears revenge against him when she is arrested. The character returns in "Thinktwice", a three-part story beginning in DWM issue 400. She is now a convict on a space-station prison where the inmates are subject to repeated memory wipes, supposedly to rehabilitate them but actually to feed parasitic lifeforms called the Memovax. The Doctor defeats the Memovax and rescues Majenta. Her memories do not return, however, and holding the Doctor responsible for this, she insists on staying with him until he finds a way to reverse the process.

Elements of Majenta's past subsequently come to light in the stories "Mortal Beloved" (DWM #406-407), "The Age of Ice" (DWM# 408-410) and "The Crimson Hand" (DWM# 416-420), in which it is revealed that she is part of a powerful crime organisation called the Crimson Hand, a group of ruthless beings who possessed the Manus Mallificus, a hand-shaped device that can reshape reality. Having accepted their invitation to join the group, Majenta is horrified by their use of the Malus to destroy an inhabited planet. She attempts to escape but at the last minute accepts the Crimson Hand's offer to rejoin them, and seemingly destroys the Doctor. Majenta then attempts to use the Malus to convert her home planet, Vessica, into a utopia. When a spatial rift threatens Veccia, and the inhabitants rebel against her rule, Majenta calls back the Doctor, who in reality she has only sent away. With the Doctor's help, Majenta cuts the rest of the Hand off from their power source, destroying them and nearly dying in the process. Majenta then settles on the planet Redemption ("The Deep Hereafter", DWM #412).

A temporary solution is found in '' Sword of Orion'', but the Doctor and Charley know that he must ultimately be returned to his natural habitat. As they approach the centre of the vortex, however, he attacks Charley. Ramsay has sensed the fracturing web of time around her, the result of the Doctor's intervention preventing her death in the Airship R101 crash.

Along with that future Doctor, she met the Seventh Doctor and Ace who were also attending the party and was involved in the subsequent brawl provoked by an inebriated Beep the Meep. Nothing else is known about her, although her Doctor's appearance was subsequently used as a disguise in a complex ruse by the Eighth Doctor against the time-travelling mercenaries known as the Threshold.

She is assigned to accompany the Second Doctor on a mission for the Celestial Intervention Agency, to improve her political credentials. Serena and the Doctor initially have an uneasy relationship. She is effectively his parole officer, having the authority to give him orders, and objects to him calling her his assistant. The Doctor resents having a companion forced upon him. During the course of their mission, however, they begin to appreciate each other's talents.

Uncovering a plot to assassinate the Duke of Wellington at a ball held on the eve of Waterloo, Serena is killed when a shot intended for Wellington destroys both of her hearts, preventing her from regenerating. She is buried in a simple grave marked only with her name; SERENA.

She reappeared in the audio drama ''Dust Breeding'', at the end of which she travels to the 20th century with the Seventh Doctor and Ace. She seems to have made at least one more journey in the TARDIS, as she is next heard of in the 27th century in Big Finish's ''Bernice Summerfield'' audio drama '' The Bellotron Incident'', where it is revealed that "a mutual friend" has brought her to Bernice's time. All three of these stories were written by Mike Tucker.

Tarrant later became a regular character in the ''Bernice Summerfield'' books and audio dramas, where she was played by Louise Faulkner. Her surname is an in-joke based on the fan perception that Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks, was overly fond of using the name "Tarrant" in his scripts.

Formerly a possessed pawn of the Hornet Queen, she first encountered the Doctor in Cromer in 1932, where she was the curator of the Palace of Curios, a small curiosity shop. Released from the Hornets' influence, she was taken by the Doctor to his house in Sussex, in the early 21st century. She joined him and Mike Yates in their descent into the papier-mâché brain of a stuffed zebra where the Hornets had built their primary nest. After they defeated the Queen and put paid to the Hornets' nefarious schemes, she settled into the house and took care of it while the Doctor continued his travels. He returned to check in on her a year later in the sequel, ''Demon Quest'', whereupon she traded one of the vital components of his TARDIS to a mysterious figure. The Doctor insisted that she accompany him on a chase through time to retrieve it. While on the journey, she exhibited odd flashes of insight, such as making a prescient prediction while posing as the goddess "Wibbsentia" in pre-Roman Britain. This was later shown to be an effect of the Demon and the Hornets, who were trying to lure the Doctor to the dead world Sepulchre, there to turn the Doctor into a dimensional atlas. Mrs Wibbsey was nearly killed in the attempt to rescue the Doctor after she was again infested with the Hornets. She returns in '' Serpent Crest'', where she and the Doctor are kidnapped by robots and taken through a wormhole in time and space. The Doctor eventually returns her to present day Nest Cottage, giving the house to her as he leaves in his TARDIS.

Will Arrowsmith

Played by Christian Edwards, Will begins travelling with the Seventh Doctor and Klein in the Big Finish audio drama Persuasion, as Klein's Assistant at UNIT

William Hoffman

William Hoffman, also known as Isaac, first appears in the short story ''Euterpe: An Overture Too Early'' by Simon Guerrier in the Big Finish Short Trips anthology ''The Muses''. He later appears in most of the short stories in '' Short Trips: Time Signature'', edited by Guerrier.
Though the Doctor has met him previously in his own timeline, William's association with the Time Lord begins when, as a young man, he encounters the Sixth Doctor and agrees to join him on a fishing trip. This expedition takes them to a future Earth, populated by an advanced hunter-gatherer society. They next visit London in William's near future, and a walking city in the distant future. During their travels William develops a latent talent for music, and becomes fascinated with a tune which acts directly upon the time vortex. He parts company with the Doctor in an Eastern European country in the 1950s. Now using the name "Isaac" he becomes a prominent composer in his adopted country, his compositions incorporating the music of the vortex. He meets the Doctor on two subsequent occasions, both of them earlier in the Doctor's timeline than their original meeting. His meeting with the Third Doctor in London in the 1970s (their first, from the Doctor's point of view) takes place shortly before Isaac's murder by forces wishing to protect the vortex. After scattering Isaac's ashes, the Eighth Doctor deals with the powers attempting to excise Isaac's compositions from the universe. This process entails changing the young William's timeline so that he never joined the sixth Doctor on his fishing trip, but instead developed his musical talent without the influence of the vortex. The effects of this action upon history are not made clear.

Jenny Wilson

Jenny was one of the Doctor's companions in the stage play ''Doctor Who and the Daleks in the Seven Keys to Doomsday''. She was played by Wendy Padbury, who had previously played Zoe Heriot. Not to be confused with Jenny from the 2008 episode "The Doctor's Daughter."

Wolsey

Wolsey (named for Cardinal Wolsey) was a cat given to the Seventh Doctor by Joan in the novel ''Human Nature'' by Paul Cornell. Wolsey travelled in the TARDIS until the events of ''The Dying Days'' by Lance Parkin.
