George Litefoot

Professor George Litefoot, KCBE was a London pathologist who had many adventures with Henry Gordon Jago during the 1890s. During this time, he was also closely associated with Ellie Higson and Percival Quick.

Litefoot was a friend of the Doctor; he had adventures with him in his fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth incarnations, was a temporary companion of the Sixth Doctor in his journeys through time and space, and met the Eleventh Doctor at least once.

Early life
Litefoot was born in Twickenham in the mid 1830s. (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers; AUDIO: Voyage to Venus) His father was a brigadier-general who was involved in the punitive expedition to China in 1860. He lived in Peking as an attaché and George spent most of his childhood in China. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)

Litefoot had pet mice as a child. (AUDIO: Encore of the Scorchies)

He often visited Brighton as a boy. (AUDIO: Jago in Love)

He spent some of his youth in China feeding smaller animals to bigger ones. (AUDIO: Return of the Repressed)

Litefoot had an aunt named Agatha. She owned a goat, which once ate an entire antique tablecloth. (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus)

In 1866, he was a medical student at St Thomas', planning to be a surgeon. He received a letter from Dr Walters showing him the Yesterday Box. He was told to investigate the disappearance of street urchins. Having received a letter from his future self, he went with Quick to save the urchins. (AUDIO: The Year of the Bat)

After his father's death in 1873, Litefoot returned to England. He also brought back the 51st century war criminal Magnus Greel's time cabinet, which had been disguised as a Chinese puzzle box and was a gift from Emperor Tongzhi to his mother. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)

He visited India numerous times prior to the 1890s. (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus)

He knew several languages. (AUDIO: The Mahogany Murderers)

He lectured in forensic pathology. (AUDIO: The Mahogany Murderers)

In 1887, the Seventh Doctor lodged with Professor Litefoot whilst he was in London. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire)

Meeting the Doctor, Jago and Leela
In either 1889 (COMIC: The Time Machination, AUDIO: The Talents of Greel) or 1892, (AUDIO: The Case of the Gluttonous Guru) he was investigating several corpses related to Greel and the Tong of the Black Scorpion when he encountered the Fourth Doctor and Leela. He helped them with their investigations, and lent the Doctor a gun to kill the giant rats created by Greel. At the same time, Greel found out that Litefoot had the time cabinet and sent Mr Sin and his other servants to take it back.

Litefoot joined forces with Henry Gordon Jago to find where Greel escaped to. They followed him to the House of the Dragon, where they were captured by members of the Tong. The Doctor tried to help free them, but he was captured as well. During the final confrontation with Greel, Jago and Litefoot helped to distract Mr Sin. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)

The Fourth Doctor once described Jago and Litefoot as being "outstanding and extraordinary." (AUDIO: The Justice of Jalxar)

Investigating infernal incidents
His association with Henry Gordon Jago continued beyond their adventure with the Doctor. The pair were involved as amateur sleuths in several other mysteries as well as receiving help from Ellie Higson and Sergeant Percival Quick. (AUDIO: The Mahogany Murderers)

In 1890, Jago and Litefoot later descended into the London sewers to kill the rest of Greel's remaining giant rats with a Gatling gun and on the way there, failed to recognise the Fifth Doctor, who had regenerated since their first encounter with him. (PROSE: A Victorian Interlude)

Jago believed that he and Litefoot were the inspiration for the serialised adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson by Arthur Conan Doyle featured in The Strand magazine. (AUDIO: Jago in Love)

Litefoot kept mementos of all of his adventures with Jago. (AUDIO: Mind Games)

Litefoot once described Jago as "a very dear friend". (AUDIO: The Bloodless Soldier) Similarly, Jago considered Litefoot to be his best friend. (AUDIO: Encore of the Scorchies)

Tracking down Tulp
After the Doctor's departure, he and Henry Gordon Jago began many adventures together, finding murderers and so on. Such as an adventure involving mahogany mannequins, animated by the living spirits of criminals in prison, who had been assisted by a man called Dr Tulp. However, the mannequins were defeated, but Tulp escaped. It was after this adventure that Litefoot met a future acquaintance of his, a barmaid called Ellie Higson. (AUDIO: The Mahogany Murderers)

They later encountered a rapidly changing Captain, who was transforming into a werewolf-like beast that was roaming London, and sucked the blood from people. They were forced to kill the beast, but Ellie's younger brother Jim was infected by the beast, and they killed him. (AUDIO: The Bloodless Soldier)

He then encountered a body of man who had already been killed, who had seemingly awakened from the dead. He was rivalled by Doctor Ormond Sacker who pretended to poison him using cyanide in his drink. It was all an act though, part of the Far-Off Travellers tradition. (AUDIO: The Bellova Devil)

Following the trail of Toby's wife, Litefoot discovered that people were being possessed when they meet Mrs Vanguard, someone who can apparently talk to spirits. This caused her clients to spontaneously combust. He then helped to free Jago and Ellie's bodies, although it meant Toby had to sacrifice himself. (AUDIO: The Spirit Trap)

Litefoot and Jago met Dr Tulp again, when they discovered that he had the ability of astral projection, and could take knowledge from the future and use it for profit. They found that Tulp was mining uranium and constructing more mahogany mannequins to replace important politicians, as a means of making profit and seizing control of the world. However, Tulp had in fact been possessed by an entity who wanted to dominate the world. Litefoot and Jago stopped his plans, exposing the entity in the process, which then consumed Tulp. (AUDIO: The Similarity Engine)

Litefoot and Sanders
Later, Litefoot began working with a man called Gabriel Sanders who helped him to investigate the cause of a number of mysterious murders, whose victims had been drained of blood. George made sure that Henry was kept away from the investigation to protect him. However, after Henry had intervened against George's wishes, they discovered that Sanders was the vampire killing the victims. They left him to die in a burning building, but not before he claimed Ellie as one of his victims. (AUDIO: Litefoot and Sanders)

Later, they boarded a train carrying the body of Ellie to a cemetery, to investigate whether she would become a vampire too. They arrived in the cemetery, and discovered an associate of Sanders, Doctor Sibelius Crow, who Litefoot had also met before. Discovering that he was attempting to experiment with and revive the dead. However, Crow was killed by the now vampire, Ellie. (AUDIO: The Necropolis Express)

Soon after this adventure, George and Henry foiled a plan by a group of harlequins, to infiltrate Henry's newly-owned New Regency Theatre, and drain the lifeforce from the audience. They found that their travelling caravan was, in fact, a living thing, and created the people who travelled within it. However, they managed to destroy the caravan. It was after this adventure, that Litefoot managed to discover the cure for Ellie's vampirism, but also, that Sanders had survived being burnt to death in the building. (AUDIO: The Theatre of Dreams)

Litefoot and Jago discovered Sanders plan to breed a new race of human-vampire hybrids, using the Ruthven family line. However, they managed to kill the only perfect creature, Lord Ruthven, as well as Sanders himself. During this encounter, Sacker was killed by a vampire. After defeating Sanders, Leela arrived at Litefoot's house while he and Jago were there, and told them that she had been sent from Gallifrey to investigate time distortions. (AUDIO: The Ruthven Inheritance)

Leela and the time traps
Litefoot, Jago and Leela discovered that due to the time distortion, a sailor from the 1950s called Johnny Skipton was removed from his time before he was supposed to die while sinking in his ship. This caused apparitions of the dead crew, to arrive in the 1890's to take Johnny away. To prevent the time distortion, Jago, Litefoot and Leela convinced Johnny to accept his fate, and departed back to his ship, to die. (AUDIO: Dead Men's Tales)

After this, they all discovered that the time distortion was causing a fictional character, called the Man at the End of the Garden, to become real, and caused the disappearance of the writer who created him. However, they managed to retrieve the writer and defeat the Man. (AUDIO: The Man at the End of the Garden)

The team traced the next source of time distortion in the New Regency Theatre, where it was linking the 1890's time zone, with the 2011 time zone, bringing people from 2011 to the New Regency, and vice versa. This also caused the New Regency itself to come to life, but they stopped the time distortion, causing the theatre to return to normal, and return the people from 2011 to their native time. However, they discovered that Professor Elliot Payne was behind all the time distortions. (AUDIO: Swan Song)

As Payne arrived, the amount of time distortions rapidly increased, and threatened to destroy the world. They discovered that Payne was conducting experiments with time to bring his wife, Shania, back from the dead. This was part of an arrangement he made with beings called the Time Eaters. However, the Time Eaters betrayed Payne, and he helped Jago, Litefoot and Leela to destroy the Time Eaters, and return all objects out of their time zone to their proper place in time and space. Shortly after this, Litefoot and Jago were summoned by a man called Professor Claudius Dark. (AUDIO: Chronoclasm)

Kempston, Hardwick and Dark
Jago and Litefoot escaped Dark, believing him to be hostile, and decided to go to have a holiday in Brighton. Litefoot became possessed by the spirit of a woman, Mary Elizabeth Reilly, who was looking for the spirit of her husband, George Nevil. Whilst under possession, he started to smash mirrors and Leela had to tale care of him. He entered a Lion's cage. However, Litefoot was freed and they returned to London, when Jago smashed the mirror that Litefoot was trapped in. (AUDIO: Jago in Love)

Dark later found Jago and Litefoot, and offered them tickets to see the new Oscar Wilde play. He didn't like Oscar Wilde, and refused to go and see the play. He spent his time helping Quick with a set of mysterious deaths. Where they had an adventure with Wilde, and a man called Gadd hired to kill him. It was after saving Wilde, that Jago and Litefoot discovered that two men, Mr Kempston and Mr Hardwick hired Gadd, and that they were Professor Dark's enemies. (AUDIO: Beautiful Things)

Jago and Litefoot tried to escape from Mr Kempston and Mr Hardwick by boarding a train, which was their intention in the first place. Discovering that the train was caught in a time loop, in an attempt to trap them. However, thanks to Leela, Ellie and Dark, they were both freed. It was here that Dark revealed his true identity, as the Sixth Doctor. (AUDIO: The Lonely Clock)

They all discovered that Mr Kempston and Mr Hardwick were constructs created by a Temparon ship using sand to form bodies, which had crashed to Earth, as a result of Payne's time experiments. However, Jago, Litefoot, Leela and the Doctor managed to dissipate the bodies of Mr Kempston and Mr Hardwick with water, effectively killing them. After this, Leela returned to Gallifrey, and they were invited to join the Doctor as his companions aboard the TARDIS. They eagerly accepted the offer, though Jago began to suffer from motion sickness on his first trip. (AUDIO: The Hourglass Killers)

Travelling through time
On their first trip through space and time, Jago and Litefoot arrived on Venus in the far future, where they discovered the corrupt Venusian Queen Vulpina was imprisoning an alien race called the Thraskin. However, with the Doctor's help, they defeated Vulpina and released the Thraskin, resulting in a peaceful treaty between the Thraskins and Venusians. During this time, Litefoot discovered his indirect descendants had colonised Venus, making scanners register him as Venusian. Jago, Litefoot and the Doctor then left Venus. (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus)

Although they intended to return to London, the TARDIS arrived in the Roanoke Island, 1590, and were held hostage by a local tribe of Native Americans. They discovered that the tribe were being terrorised by a group of ethereal children, who had been present for four hundred years. Whenever they kidnapped natives, they would leave behind the word Croatoan, inscribed in the place where they once were. Litefoot, Jago and the Doctor discovered that Croatoan was an island, which they intended to explore, but not before Henry was kidnapped. When they arrived on Croatoan Island, they found Henry, and discovered the TARDIS, which had been on Croatoan for four hundred years. When they found Henry's captor, he revealed that he was Sir Walter Raleigh, who had discovered the TARDIS, while George and the Doctor were venturing to Croatoan. After tampering with the controls, Raleigh travelled back four hundred years, and encountered a group of alien beings, who would later become the children who had terrorised the tribe. He taught them how to live and hunt, and in return, they extended his life. However, the Doctor managed to communicate with Walter in the TARDIS, four hundred years prior, and prevent him from travelling in the TARDIS. This then caused the alternative Walter to disappear, and the aliens would never have terrorised the tribe. After restoring the timeline, the Doctor deposited Litefoot and Jago back in London. However, after the Doctor left, they discovered that he had left them stranded in London on 21 February 1968. (AUDIO: Voyage to the New World)

Stuck in the sixties
Soon after, Jago and Litefoot discovered Ellie was still alive, as an effect of the vampire curse she still had. Litefoot eventually became a bookshop owner when he met Detective Inspector Dave Sacker. Jago and Litefoot told him the circumstances which lead them to their arrival in the 1960s, just in time for all of them to foil a plan to hypnotise the nation using a mystical statue and Jago's new television show. The plan was foiled by using a psychic crystal which Jago picked up on Venus. It was after the adventure that Jago and Litefoot met a performer on Jago's show, Guinevere Godiva. (AUDIO: The Age of Revolution)

After Jago's success as a TV host, Litefoot found that Jago was in much demand and wasn't returning his calls. Ellie decided to take him to Nirvana a new recent Indian restaurant run by Guru Sanjaya Starr to scope out the competition. He arrived before a murder of one of the waiters by something that was eating him from the inside. When Jago was showing the same symptoms Litefoot took him back to his to look after him. Jago and Litefoot also stopped an alien being and a mad guru from killing people by eating food containing the aliens offspring. The guru believed the alien was a god, and the aliens way of reproduction was by laying eggs in it's victims and eating them from the inside out. (AUDIO: The Case of the Gluttonous Guru)

Ellie helped him to take a stock take on a day off before Dreislav entered his shop. Dreislav asked Litefoot if he had a copy of the Bloodchild Codex, having tacked it to the consignment of books Litefoot had just got. Dave Sacker asked him to help in an investigation. Jago and Litefoot also discovered a book which was created by Thomas Bloodchild as a means of preserving his life essence inside it's pages. After several people attempted to steal the book to achieve immortality, Bloodchild was resurrected, but quickly destroyed again by Jago and Litefoot. After this encounter, they visited a crypt where they discovered several unusual artefacts, which included the time cabinet, containing a murderous Mr Sin. (AUDIO: The Bloodchild Codex)

However, they promptly escaped from Sin, and recruited Sacker to investigate the crypt with reinforcements to discover that all the artefacts had vanished. Later on, during Jago's show, Guinevere Godiva made Ellie vanish, and held her to ransom, which led them the rendezvous point, the House of the Dragon. There, Godiva revealed she had reconstructed Mr Sin and the key to the time cabinet, which she intended to use to recreate Magnus Greel from the psychic imprint left in the key, using Jago's Venusian crystal. However, Godiva needed a large quantity of energy to start the process, so Mr Sin betrayed her, put her in the catalytic extraction chamber and used her life energy as power, killing her. Successful, Greel's essence possessed Sacker, killing him, but giving Greel life. However, Greel was killed when Ellie stood in the extraction chamber and overloaded his intake of life energy, due to her unnatural lifespan. Using the time cabinet, Jago and Litefoot departed 1968, arriving back in 1893. But immediately upon their arrival, they were greeted by a mysterious man calling himself the Colonel. (AUDIO: The Final Act)

Return to Victorian London
He was sent by The Colonel to Suffolk to discover the truth about ghosts in the fog. On the train down to Lowestoft he met Camilla Tevelyan and told her why he was going there on the Queen's orders. He started to realise his memories of the future and his travels of the Doctor started to fade. Isaac Pawley told Litefoot about Shingle Cove and the Fog. Durring a fog he started to hear screams. Jago and Litefoot went into the cove to discover more about the person Camila saw. They saw a pub full of skeletons. He realised that someone must have destroyed the shingle beach that protected Shingle Cove. Searching through Tevelyan's files he realised that the shingles were taken to build the shipyard. Tevelyan tried to kill them.(AUDIO: The Skeleton Quay)

He decided to go to the Zoo with Jago to help him. He started to talk to a baboon that jumped on his back and invited him to tea. He later took him to a gentlemen's outfiters. Freud later thought that Litefoot was becoming delusional, and the baboon wanted to go the New Regency. He thought that Jago should confront the Baboon to stop his delusions. Freud later analysed him at Jago's request. Madame Anna was of the same species of Pawley in Suffolk and escaped with him. He was affected by this and part of his subconcious came out.

Quick asked him to investigate a body that was flickering in and out of existence. He later thought that Rob W Paul's cinema had something to do with it. Instead he visited Old Ma Hambley's horror show and got scared by the Flickermen. Paul showed them the film after it was developed when Flickermen appeared on the film, which weren't there when it was filmed. He realised that the reason why he was they were on the film, it that the number of frames per second was the rate that the Flickermen flicked at. He theorised that the building of the tunnel had caused them to appear in the first place. He used the film camera to give the Flickermen a new home. (AUDIO: The Flickermen)

Both Jago and Litefoot received letters informing them of something uncanny happening at St. Cecillia's School for Girls. Broodie offered him a job there as a teacher of the Life Sciences.

He followed Ellie to a rendezvous with Ravener, and then went after Ravener to find out where he was going finding one of this victims along the way. At Litefoot's house, Ellie informed him about the Old One and his supposed plans. She then confronted them about her brother's murder, which they had to tell her the truth about. (AUDIO: Warm Blood)

Finding himself on a parallel Earth
He had a strange dream where he was on his mortuary slab and Jago was performing the autopsy. He talked to Jago about it then went to his old friend Dr Hilary Standish to analyse it. After witnessing Ellie's nightmare, he had to perform the autopsy of a corpse of victim of an advance weapon. He was then tortured by Cara for information on Magnus Greel. When Agent Cara discovered that Magnus Greel was dead, she decided to kill them both. They later had another nightmare where they were Time Agents. Jago and Litefoot became trapped in the future and escaped through a time portal back to what seemed to be their own time. (AUDIO: The Stuff of Nightmares)

He wasn't sure that they were in the right place as London was different to what he remembered. Arriving at the Red Tavern, his feelings were further confirmed when Ellie didn't recognise him. This world's Quick asked him to perform an autopsy, and Delaney told him about the Chapel of Night. He went to this building and realised that Mrs Bartholomew was from another reality. This also confirmed they weren't in his own. (AUDIO: Chapel of Night)

He had to pawn his items in order to get money. He met with the alternative Jago and was asked to dissect the the giant rat in the cellar of his alternative self's house. He also devised a way to find more about his own alternative self. In the sewer, he encountered the rat but had to stop himself from killing it as it had broken the alternative Jago's leg. He made his way to the house and managed to help cure the leg with the help of Magnus Greel's machine. (AUDIO: How The Other Half Lives)

They went with Betterman and Aubrey to the Red Tavern and explained who they were to them. They realised that both of them had experienced the same infernal events in both universes. They helped them in the investigation of the fading body, discovering it had something about a demon and a falling star. He encountered Angelica who wanted to take his reality, but because he came from another world it didn't work and blew up the spaceship. They used a component they stole to try and get back home. (AUDIO: Too Much Reality)

Later encounters with the Doctor
When the Sixth Doctor arrived in London to show Flip Jackson the theatre, Litefoot told him about the person who had rented out the theatre. Litefoot showed the Doctor a set of cadavers which baffled him as they seemed to be dead for a long time though one was alive within the last week. The Doctor said that they wore clothes of his former companions. He went to the theatre and found Flip in a lethargic state. After going to the Valeyard's TARDIS, he looked after Henry, before he went with him and Ellie to rescue the Doctor. (AUDIO: Stage Fright)

In 1894, he assisted the Eighth Doctor and his companion Sam Jones in investigating a Zygon ship beneath the River Thames. (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers)

In 1899, ten years after their first encounter, the Fourth Doctor returned to Jago and Litefoot's native time with his new companion, Romana I. He was intrigued by the Pugilist when he was fighting crime. He had a new spate of bodies in the morgue which appeared to have been cooked. The Doctor helped with his investigations and noticed that the bodies were in the same area as the Pugilist. He helped the Doctor to rescue Romana. (AUDIO: The Justice of Jalxar)

Later in 1899, he watched K9 Mark II's act at the New Regency Theatre with the Doctor and Romana II. He examined the body of one of his colleagues and got Romana to give a second opinion. He later went with Quick and Romana to a pharmacy which had been robbed to determine if any drugs had been taken. He witnessed Jago mutating into a hairy being. He went with Romana to an opium den where he encountered Nicholas Asquin in his Kravenos form. (AUDIO: The Beast of Kravenos)

Later life
Litefoot read records in 1968 which stated that he and Jago died at some point in the 20th century. (AUDIO: The Case of the Gluttonous Guru)
