Brian the Ood

Brian the Ood was an Ood who resisted slavery. (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times)

Born in the days of the Ood's enslavement, Brian retained individuality, although he developed a split personality, his delusions imbuing his translation sphere with all the malevolent aspects of his psyche under the name of "Mr Ball". Although Brian did not lose the inbuilt Ood instinct to be helpful and obey human commands, he became, in addition to this persona, a "ruthless" murderer. (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times)

He considered the Tenth Doctor to be the closest person he had to a friend. (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times)

River Song included a brief article about Brian in The Dark Times Times, noting that she found him "interesting". (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times)
