Nimrod


 * "Now the wild world is lost in a desert of smoke and straight angles, But Light will return."


 * Nimrod (DW: Ghost Light)

Originally one of a tribe of mammoth herders during prehistory, Nimrod encountered the alien survey team headed by Light.


 * We do not know if Nimrod subsequently gained immortality or if he simply spent most of the intervening time in some form of suspension.

Subsequently, Nimrod served as the soft-spoken butler to the household headed by Josiah Samuel Smith and located in Gabriel Chase. Serving in this position, he encountered the Doctor and Ace there in 1883, who set about winning his trust.

Nimrod at first revered "the Burning One" (Light) as a god as had his tribe. By accident, Nimrod himself broke the membrane sealing Light into stasis. At first stunned, he lapsed into a coma until roused by the Doctor. Nimrod's servile role crumbled and he re-lived the old days of his tribe and their worship of Light. No longer a servant either to Light or to Cooper, decided to leave Earth along with Control and Redvers Fenn-Cooper to explore the stars. (DW: Ghost Light)
