The amnesiac companion of the ginger

to:

The amnesiac companion of the ginger
ginger Doctor. Possibly also the only sane man on the TARDIS.



* DeadpanSnarker: Oh, ''incredibly''.
* FantasticRacism: Towards humans, Nardole-levels. And of course, as with Nardole, it's Main/PlayedForLaughs.
* TheFogOfAges: Like all modern Doctors, he can't remember his proper age. On different occasions he gives his age as two thousand years old, or four, or five.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: he can really come off as a pompous jerk most of the time, as he treats all humans ''very'' condescendingly (even his companion). He is genuinely enthralled by an apparently unsolvable murder, to the point that his interference eventually ''causes'' the murder itself, considers genocide "fun" and declines solving world hunger by the simple reason that "I can't always be there to hold their (mankind's) hand"...and it's all Main/PlayedForLaughs. He's actually a ''subversion'' of this trope, as this is all just a front, as evidenced in Episode 2: "Obsession for Murder". He is seriously depressed, after thousands of years of travelling and loss, and on the inside he's just as broken as his post-Time War incarnations. He also suffers from hallucinating and amnesia, and undoes a murder he accidentally caused just to regain a little bit of his sanity.
* SharpDressedMan: Once he's selected it as his official attire, he's never seen without his grey three-piece suit with black tie and white shirt. Well, except when it gets burnt, or he gets stuck two hundred years in the past and loses the outfit in favor of clothes that were seemingly stolen from Creator/SteveMcQueen (which he ''loathes'').

to:

* BadassInDistress: has proven himself at being quite capable of helping out in dangerous situations, and took down an Main/EldritchAbomination masquerading as a ghost (with some help) in Episode 3. Come Episode 4, he's kidnapped by the henchmen of the Main/ArcVillain, and put through a ''Film/TheRunningMan'' situation. Sure, he gives his captors hell and refuses to play by their rules, but is kidnapped once again and is saved only by the intervention of the Doctor (a past one, however).
* ButtMonkey: the Doctor's personal one. He doesn't enjoy it.
* DeadpanSnarker: Oh, ''incredibly''.
* FantasticRacism: Towards humans, Nardole-levels. And of course, as
He has to be, to cope with Nardole, it's Main/PlayedForLaughs.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: he can really come off as a pompous jerk most of
the time, as he treats all humans ''very'' condescendingly (even his companion). He is genuinely enthralled by an apparently unsolvable murder, to Doctor.
* OnlySaneMan: To
the point that his interference eventually ''causes'' the murder itself, considers genocide "fun" and declines solving world hunger by the simple reason that "I can't always be there to hold their (mankind's) hand"...and it's all Main/PlayedForLaughs.
