Morton Dill

Morton C. Dill was an American human.

Biography
Dill was from Alabama. At school, he was nicknamed "Dill the Pill" because he was rather hard to take, a comment on his personality and habit of speaking without thinking. (PROSE: The Chase)

In 1966, Dill visited New York City as a tourist. Whilst on the Empire State Building's observation deck, he encountered the First Doctor, his companions Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Vicki Pallister and a Dalek. He assumed they were all actors and, as they were not seen by anybody else, his behaviour seemed very odd. (TV: The Chase)

Due to this experience, he was locked up at the Newman Rehabilitation Clinic in 1967, where he became a permanent resident. (PROSE: The Chase)
