Personality
Tom Milligan quickly took a liking to Martha Jones and proved to be very loyal to her, even trying to attack the Master in an attempt to protect her, resulting in what would have been his death if time had not been reversed so that the Master's reign had never happened. Although, from Tom's point of view, he had never met Martha, due to the fact that the Year That Never Was was erased from history, he later entered a romantic relationship with her. They were also engaged at one point but in the end Martha married Mickey Smith instead.

Though he was a doctor, Tom would not hesitate to deal with matters through force and kept a gun with him during the Year That Never Was. He killed one of the Toclafane after it said that killing humans was fun and suggested using his gun to kill the Master, but Martha explained that Time Lords couldn't be killed so easily.
