+== Biography ==
+{{section stub|Needs more ''[[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (comic story)|Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]'' issues 3-5.}}
+Throughout his career as a medical student and a doctor, Jekyll struggled with his cravings for the "evil side" of life. To help himself control these impulses, he invented a potion which transformed him into Hyde, contorting his [[bone]]s and changing his facial appearance; the alteration could be reversed by drinking an [[antidote]]. Although Jekyll recognised Hyde's monstrocity and tried resisting the change, he began to transform himself into Hyde to escape the boredom of his life.
+Free to commit crimes with impunity, Hyde would [[alcohol|drink]], [[opium|smoke]], and commit [[vandalism]]. One day, upon knocking over a child, he was surrounded by a mob and paid off the girl's father with a £25. This was seen by Jekyll's [[lawyer]], [[Utterson]], who recognised Jekyll's signature on the check and confronted Jekyll about it. Despite brushing off Utterson at first, after Jekyll lost control again and Hyde brutalised an elderly woman in the park, Jekyll confessed the secret of his potion. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (comic story)|Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]'')
+== Legacy ==
+The [[Fourth Doctor]] knew [[Utterson]]'s account of Jekyll and Hyde, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (comic story)|Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]'') and the [[Fifth Doctor]] referenced it to [[Nyssa]], [[Tegan]], and [[Hayter]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time-Flight (TV story)|Time-Flight]]'')
