Edward Masters

Edward Masters was the Permanant Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Defence, a civil servant, during the 1970s. He visited the Wenley Moor nuclear research facility when a series of power drains and mental breakdowns happened. In reality the Silurians had tampered with the nuclear energy and then used a virus to kill the humans there. During his visit, the station security chief, Major Baker, was infected with the virus. Masters left before the base was quarantined, unaware of being infected himself.

Masters reached London, eluding search parties looking for him. He was caught by two police officers on a bridge. Masters then slumped and died from the virus. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)

The day before his death, Masters had been scheduled to give an interview to the journalist James Stevens of the Daily Chronicle but had to cancel when he was called to the nuclear research facility. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

Before he died, he received a letter from the Apocalypse Clock which predicted the exact date and time of his death. (AUDIO: The Last Post)
