Weston (The Only Good Dalek)

Professor Weston was a scientist who had worked on Station 7, in order to use the Daleks' own technology against them, with assistance from Hadleigh and Kustler. His main project was the creation of a pacified Dalek through genetic modification. When he presented the findings, he was met with resistance, voiced among others by a young Tranter. Because of his outburst Tranter was reassigned to the front lines, but would later return and be assigned to command Station 7 at his own request. Fearing that Tranter had specifically chosen to return to the Station to halt his project, Weston jettisoned his laboratory to crash on the planet below so that he may continue his research. After emerging from the container he was attacked by the natives, but would later repair his body through technology. He took up residence in the abandoned ore refinery on the planet, and used the abundance of lava and ice for steam power for his machinery, which was undetectable by the Daleks. During his time on the planet Weston modified some natives to assist him, and successfully created one pacified Dalek which valued life and was grateful to him.

Some years later he was found by the Eleventh Doctor and Tranter, who had escaped from Station 7 as he had before, who were soon followed by Jay and Amy Pond (whom he at first mistaked for Dalek cooperators due to them mistakingly trusting a Dalek for help). He introduced them to his creation, and prepared for the inevitable invasion of the Daleks. After setting a countdown for the nuclear reactor in the refinery to explode, he set to escape with the others, taking his modified Dalek in the casing of the Dalek Jay and Amy brought with them. When they encountered the Daleks, the one which accompanied them revealed itself to be the original Dalek, and they were taken prisoner. Weston however gave his research to Amy on a computer disc and distracted the Daleks so that the others would escape and take his work to Earth. He was exterminated moments later, and the Doctor remarked how he was a "brave and dedicated man". (GN: The Only Good Dalek)
