Turlough
Vislor Turlough, companion to the Fifth Doctor, first appeared as a student of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and the Brendon Public School. However, his innocuous appearance is not what it seems. This is made evident when he is contacted by the Black Guardian, who tries to get him to kill the Doctor. Turlough never did kill the Doctor, choosing his loyalty over returning home by carrying out the Black Guardians wish. He ends up traveling with the Fifth Doctor for over 30 episodes. He shows slight cowardice, but excellent instincts and a ruthless streak. This companion is one of the more unique ones. He understands many concepts that other companions do not, and can even operate some of the TARDIS’ machinery. After many adventures, he eventually returns home after political prisoners stop being mistreated on his home planet of Trion.
