!!Commander Jingo Linx (Third Doctor)
->'''Played by:''' Kevin Lindsay (1973)
A commander in the Sontaran army who crash lands on Earth during TheMiddleAges and makes a deal with a local robber baron to repair his ship.
----
* ClaimingViaFlag: The first thing Linx does after exiting his spaceship, to the bemusement of the watching locals, is to plant a flag, play the Sontaran national anthem, and claim Earth for the Sontaran Empire.
* GivingRadioToTheRomans: Does this as a means of buying off Irongron. Although he has no intention of giving Irongron any more than the bare minimum to impress him in the form of crude black powder firearms.
* ItAmusedMe: The reason he gives primitives advanced weaponry so they can attack their rivals. The Doctor compares him to a little boy stirring up an ant hill to stop himself from getting bored.

[[folder:Styre]]
!!Field Major Styre (Fourth Doctor)
->'''Played by:''' Kevin Lindsay (1975)
A Sontaran dispatched to Earth to assess human physical capabilities and limitations in preparation for the Sontarans' invasion of the planet.
----
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Styre is baffled as to why Erak and Krans struggle to save Vural from being crushed by the gravity bar, repeatedly stressing that he's a traitor and doesn't deserve their mercy. Similarly, he's confused as to why Sarah makes a "disagreeable noise" (i.e. a bloodcurdling scream) upon seeing a man shot dead.
* HonourBeforeReason: Styre can't refuse a duel with the Doctor, even though it allows Harry and Sarah Jane to release his prisoners.
* LaserGuidedKarma: For all of Styre's mocking of how fragile humans are (including dying from starvation/dehydration after only a few days), he doesn't have the endurance to handle a melee fight with the Doctor lasting a few minutes.
* MindRape: After he captures Sarah, Styre tortures her by making her hallucinate a snake wrapping around her arm and an indeterminable mass of sludge crawling up her legs.
* TortureTechnician: His experiments on humans involve him torturing them in various ways to discover all their physical weaknesses.

* BigBad: For "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS15E6TheInvasionOfTime The Invasion of Time]]" and Season 15 as a whole, in which the Sontarans are the overarching villains.
* EliteMooks: Stor's Special Space Service Sontarans are much bigger and more imposing than the typical Sontaran soldier.
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Distinguished from his soldiers by the white marking on his helmet.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Uses the Vardans as an invasion force for Gallifrey to cover the Sontarans' own conquest of the planet..

!!General Staal the Undefeated (Tenth Doctor)
->'''Played by:''' Christopher Ryan

* ArcVillain: The main antagonist of the "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E4TheSontaranStratagem The Sontaran Stratagem]]"/"[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E5ThePoisonSky The Poison Sky]]" two-parter.
* AGoodWayToDie: Is gleeful when the Doctor threatens to [[TakingYouWithMe sacrifice himself to blow up the Sontaran fleet]], since it means the Sontarans will be taking the Doctor with them.
* ILied: Fully admits to Luke Rattigan once their plan is in full swing that he never had any intention of holding up his side of their deal and that they would have shot Luke's colleagues dead instead of taking them to a new planet had they accepted his offer.
* StaffOfAuthority: Carries a staff with him that designates his status as general. It's the one thing distinguishing him from his fellow Sontarans prior to him removing his helmet.
* TheStrategist: The mastermind behind the Sontarans' plot to turn Earth into a cloning ground for new Sontarans. The Doctor even notes that his plan involves a lot more subterfuge than the typical Sontaran battle stratagem.
* VillainRespect: Regards the Doctor as a WorthyOpponent and a brilliant military tactician, something the Doctor is less than pleased about. He also seems to at least have some respect for Luke's colleagues for not accepting his offer and outright tells Luke his colleagues were smarter than him.
