John Benton (Inferno Earth)

Platoon Under-Leader Benton was a non-commissioned officer of the Republican Security Forces at the Eastchester Scientific Labour Camp carrying out Stahlmann's project on the parallel Earth which the Third Doctor visited.

When coming to assist the Brigade Leader, he was caught by the Primord Director Stahlman and the infected technicians; he then mutated and became one of the creatures. (TV: Inferno)

His fate, and indeed the fate of all the others who mutated, is not clear. Despite being able to survive the volcanic disaster, he may have been among the Primords killed by the Republican Security Forces when they partially rebuilt Great Britain's infrastructure to support the government's attempts to evacuate to another Earth.
