Hitch (Spirits of the Jungle)

Mr Hitch was a man who put together a recovery team to collect an "enormous" reward for finding the sentient superweapon the Hadax Ura. He hired Blueboy as a pilot, Mr Wiremu and Gela as muscle, and the Twelfth Doctor, who had brought his companion Clara Oswald along, as technical expertise. Mr Hitch had known the Doctor from a previous caper which ended in disaster, but convinced him to come because they were using jetpacks. The team discovered the Hadax Ura on the planet Unnamed BX-4. Their landing vessel was shot down by the Hadax Ura, but everyone on board was able to escape with jetpacks. Clara was attacked by pterosaurs and dropped into the Jungle. When the Doctor went off on his own to look for Clara, Wiremu unwittingly gave their position away to the Hadax Ura, who captured the team with his cybernetically augmented wildlife to become a part of its army against both sides of the war it was built to end. The Doctor distracted the guards and allowed Hitch and Gela to escape, but the Hadax Ura captured Clara and Wiremu and began augmenting them. (COMIC: Spirits of the Jungle)
