Professor Bernice "Benny" Summerfield
Benny hails from the 26th century, established in the Whoniverse as a
Space Opera setting. She was companion to the Seventh and (briefly) Eighth Doctors before spinning off into her own continuity.
Peter Summerfield
Benny's son by Adrian Wall.
Irving "Brax" Braxiatel
Another Time Lord (strongly implied to be the Doctor's brother
* ]], in fact), he has an archive/museum/gallery of
everything, which he keeps on a private planet. Used to be a neutral
Mr. Exposition who'd send Bernice Summerfield off on adventures, but has been steadily getting more and more evil. First mentioned (sort of) in a throwaway line in the 1979 serial "
City of Death".
- The Chessmaster
- Face Heel Turn: YMMV on whether this happens in The Crystal of Cantus or in The Mirror Effect.
- Future Me Scares Me (Apparently, his future self scares him a lot. So much that he suspects himself of engineering the events of Life During Wartime, so he tries a little murder-suicide to destroy himself in a temporal paradox. We also learn that Braxiatel is so scared of his future self that he is keeping his Watcher (the inchoate form of his future self) locked up in the Collection to stop it from taking over him. Turns out Brax was right to be afraid of the person he might become.)
- Guile Hero
- Mr. Exposition
- Really 700 Years Old
- Renaissance Man
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!
- Timey Wimey Ball (The Gallifrey audios feature Braxiatel as a member of the High Council, prior to his leaving Gallifrey, but also feature President Romana. Romana becomes President at some point after her return to Gallifrey in Blood Harvest, which is two novels after Theatre of War, which introduces Irving Braxiatel, eccentric collector).
- Xanatos Gambit: Although it does blow up in his face a couple of times...
Jason Kane
Temporally-displaced former teenage runaway and intermittent street hustler; briefly and acrimoniously married to Bernice Summerfield, although all installments after their divorce make a point of showing that
Aww, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other.
Adrian Wall
Adrian is a Killoran: a seven-foot-tall alien that looks like a wolf/ape hybrid. He's head of construction at the Braxiatel Collection.
Bev Tarrant
Joseph
Benny's pocket organizer.
