Brian the Ood

Brian the Ood was an Ood assassin and ally of the Tenth Doctor during his exploits in the Dark Times.

Early life
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)

Brian travelled with the Eighth Doctor to the planet Moslin, where the Doctor told Brian a story about a tailor's daughter and how she tried to cheat death. The Doctor later left Brian behind in the Dark Times. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead)

Association with the Tenth Doctor
Brian followed the Doctor to a desert planet, where he saved the Doctor from the parasitic ghosts of a long dead ancient species. He admitted that he thought of the Doctor as the closest person he had to a friend. (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times)

Legacy
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)
