Prubert Gastridge

Prubert Gastridge was an actor born in 1400.

Biography
He played Captain Hook at the theatre and once voiced Zagreus in a cartoon. After he played space hero: Zap Daniel, Prubert played Vargo, king of the Buzzardmen, a role he was typecast in.

After many years of unemployment, Gastridge was hired to be a false god on various planets to force them into a type of culture where they would destroy themselves. This would remove the protection of Galactic Heritage from the planet, leaving it buyable by his employers.

Gastridge then entered a stasis program to see if he was remembered, he woke up every 91 years and attended fan conventions of his movies. Gastridge met several of his descendants during this time, but as time progressed, his family died out, leaving no-one to visit him.

The Eighth Doctor and Charlton Mackerel woke Gastridge in 2004 to question him on his career as a god. Ceccecs then attacked Gastridge, Mackerel and the Doctor, forcing them too flee. They then travelled to Minuea, one of the worlds where Gastridge posed as god. Gastridge was shocked to find that his name hadn't been passed down properly and he had become known as "Poobar Gasidge".

Gastridge then discovered that it was a terrorist known as Martin who hired him to act as a god. After chasing Martin to Gadrahadradon with the Doctor, Gastridge threw himself at Martin. He was shot in the process, but still managed to disarm Martin before dying. (EDA: The Tomorrow Windows)

Behind the scenes
Prubert Gastridge's mannerisms and typecasting are based on those of Brian Blessed, with Zap Daniel and his famous role as king of the Buzzardmen being references to Blessed's role as king of the Hawkmen in Flash Gordon.
