Lieutenant Hugo Lang was a 24th century starfighter pilot with Interplanetary Pursuit.
Biography
Hugo Lang was born circa 2285. He attended Star Fighter pilot school and graduated top of his year, being told that he was destined for great things. He joined the A Squadron of Interplanetary Pursuit as a starfighter pilot and had only to gain combat experience to prove himself a hero. (PROSE: The Twin Dilemma)
In 2310, Hugo was sent to find the abductors of Romulus and Remus Sylvest, but was shot down over Titan III and crashed. He was rescued by the Sixth Doctor and travelled with him and Peri Brown to Jaconda, where he helped them defeat Mestor. Afterwards, as he had no family and nothing to go back to Earth for, he decided to stay and help the Jacondans rebuild their world. The Doctor handed him Azmael's ring. (TV: The Twin Dilemma)
Personality
Despite being a pilot, Hugo was scared of flying and hoped to work in politics or on chat shows after becoming a hero, wanting the money, stability and adoration that that would afford him. His dream was to become chairman of his own show.
The Sixth Doctor believed that Hugo was lazy but believed that ruling Jaconda might help him mature and be good for his development. (PROSE: The Twin Dilemma)
Appearance
In his mid-twenties, Hugo was tall, slim and good-looking. (PROSE: The Twin Dilemma)
Behind the scenes
Kevin McNally, who went on to play the 20th-century professor Eustacius Jericho in Doctor Who: Flux, jokingly said that Lang was Jericho's great-great-grandson.[1]
