Brod (A Stitch in Time)

Brod was one of the few remaining normal Humans living on an devastated Earth in an alternate timeline in the year 5000. When the Doctor visited this timeline, Brod discovered him and requested that he use the TARDIS to change history and prevent his world from coming to pass. (Brod knew of the Doctor from history books in what remained of the British Museum.) Brod traveled with the Doctor to 1872 to try to convince Professor Theodore Cassells to not publish his work, which was what led to the global war that devastated the planet. When Cassells drowned along with the crew of the Marie Celeste, Brod vanished, his timeline prevented from coming to pass. (TVC: A Stitch in Time)
