Wolfgang Ryter

Wolfgang "Wolfie" Ryter was a companion to the Tenth Doctor.

Biography
Wolfie was a bright, sixteen year old exchange student from Austria who wrote a blog about UFO sightings. At the airport one day, he found one of the planes was a monster and helped the Tenth Doctor and Heather defeat it. (DWA: Flight of the Giurgeax) He left the Doctor and Heather after (DWA: Bad Wolfie) the three of them visited Cambodia in 1139 and Wolfie was turned into a wolf. He needed a break and the Doctor took him back to Salzburg.

In the years following his travels with the Doctor, Wolfie pursued his studies in quantum physics. He was a freelance alien hunter by night like Heather. The two reunited four years after Heather's travels with the Doctor ended. Wolfie and Heather saw the Doctor one more time, when he saved their lives and then departed to check on Rose in 2005 and to face his regeneration. (DWA: Lucky Heather)

Behind the scenes

 * Wolfgang "Wolfie" Ryter was created by twelve-year-old Hamish Gough. Wolfie was the winning creation of the second comic companion competition sponsored by Doctor Who Adventures.
 * Wolfie is currently the Second companion to leave the TARDIS immediately after being possessed by an Alien entity/Intelligence. The first was Dodo Chaplet

Continuity
''The Doctor only states that he was going to travel alone in "Planet of the Dead" and by that time he's lost both Heather, and Wolfgang, and possibly others, like Majenta Pryce. Also, in the Tenth Doctor's final comic strip in Doctor Who Adventures, Heather and Wolfgang mention it has been four years since Heather, and presumably Wolfgang, last saw The Doctor. As he is about to face his regeneration we can place Heather and Wolgang's travels just after "Journey's End", but before "The Next Doctor" as all the specials, from "The Next Doctor" take place over three or four years,. Adding in Heather's statement, we can also link in the Doctor's statement about having "Lost companions" from "Planet of the Dead" and "The Next Doctor" As, at the time of "The Next Doctor" and "Planet of the Dead" both Heather, and Wolfgang, were both lost, to the Doctor as Wolfgang couldn't take travelling anymore and Heather couldn't travel with him as she was forced to stay on Earth because of jilted particles, that would result in her death if she travelled through time. ''
 * In the order of publication, Wolfgang joined the Doctor after Heather McCrimmon, who joined after Donna Noble had left. Given statements made in the post-Journey's End era regarding the Doctor refusing to take on ongoing companions after Donna, Heather and Wolfgang's presence either violates TV continuity, or take place at some earlier point in the Tenth Doctor's life, likely between DW: Voyage of the Damned and Partners in Crime.
