=== Marriage to Bel ===
=== Early life ===
At one point, Vinder and [[Bel (Once, Upon Time)|Bel]] fought the [[Dalek]]s together. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'')
Inston-Vee Vinder trained to be a [[pilot]] with [[the Grand Serpent]]'s [[The Grand Serpent's space fleet|space fleet]] and qualified highest in all streams. During the later stages of his training, he risked his own life by flying into a blaze to save the lives of three of his colleagues and received an exceptional honours award and a commendation. Although he suffered no [[Post-traumatic stress|post-traumatic psycho disturbance]], he accepted all offers of [[counselling]] and term-coming.
 
After their [[marriage]], the pair had plans to do 20 rotations in the floating canals of [[Puzano]] for their [[honeymoon]]. However, they were both deployed separately, and all they got was one night in a cubicle hotel opposite [[The Academy of the Grand Serpent|the Academy]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Village of the Angels (TV story)|Village of the Angels]]'')
 
=== Pilot training ===
Vinder trained to be a [[pilot]] with the [[Grand Serpent's space fleet]]. During the later stages of his training, Vinder flew into a blaze in his training craft, risking his own life, to save the lives of three of his colleagues. His craft received fatal damage. Vinder would later say he didn't believe he was lucky, but "made a judgment call" which came off. Despite the incident, he held no record of post-traumatic psycho disturbance, though took all offers of counselling. Vinder received an exceptional honours award and a commendation for his brave actions, and qualified highest in all streams.
 
He accepted the posting of [[guardian of the Grand Serpent]], with the highest level of security clearance, permanently at the side of [[the Grand Serpent]] himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'')
 
=== Blowing the whistle on the Grand Serpent ===
Vinder's first role as guardian was to both watch over and record a meeting between the Grand Serpent and the [[Alforia]]. After the Grand Serpent came to an agreement "on one condition", he ordered Vinder to stop the recording. Vinder felt duty-bound to continue recording, but was forced to shut it off. Unrecorded, the Grand Serpent conditioned that family members of his critic [[Frey Sampor]] have an accident; "an unexpected tragedy".
 
Following an "accident" at the [[lunar range]] in which four family members of Frey Sampor were killed, Vinder made an official report against the Grand Serpent. He was immediately reposted to [[Observation Outpost Rose]]: a desk job in the depths of space. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'')
 
=== Outpost Rose ===
On his arrival at [[Observation Outpost Rose|Outpost Rose]], Vinder was granted one message to his family. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'')
 
As time passed, he made regular reports on this section of the universe. He consistently noted that there had been no change from previous reports he'd made.


However, on rotation #21714, after signing off on his standard report, Vinder noticed an anomaly in the [[Thoribus Trifecta]], and queried the [[System (The Halloween Apocalypse)|onboard system]] for details.
Vinder [[marriage|married]] [[Bel (Once, Upon Time)|Bel]], with whom he once fought the [[Dalek]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'') They planned to do twenty rotations in the floating canals of [[Puzano]] for their [[honeymoon]], but they were deployed separately and only got one night in a cubicle hotel opposite [[The Academy of the Grand Serpent|the Academy]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Village of the Angels (TV story)|Village of the Angels]]'')


When [[Thoribus Minor]] and several other planetary bodies were destroyed by [[the Flux]] as it passed through them, Vinder was advised by the computer system to attempt evacuation before the outpost was "compromised". He made his final report, detailing events as they unfolded, before abandoning his post. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'')
Vinder was offered and accepted the role of [[Guardian of the Grant Serpent]] at the highest level of security clearance. His first task was to watch over and record a meeting between the Grand Serpent and the [[Alforia]], during which the Grand Serpent had him switch off the recording before naming the [[assassination]] of the family of [[Frey Sampor]] as a condition of the agreement. Following an "accident" at the [[lunar range]] in which four family members of Frey Sampor were killed, Vinder made an official report against the Grand Serpent and was immediately reposted to [[Observation Outpost Rose]].


=== Temple of Atropos ===
=== Meeting the Doctor ===
Finding himself in the [[Temple of Atropos]], Vinder encountered a [[Priest Triangle]] demanding to know if he could repair. Playing along he followed it to the sanctum of the [[Mouri]] where he encountered [[Yasmin Khan]], who was similarly confused by the situation. [[New Swarm|Swarm]], [[Azure (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Azure]], and a [[Passenger form]] arrived and forced them to cooperate, proving able to evade Vinder shooting at them. Swarm killed two Mouri in addition to the aleady broken two and put Vinder and Yaz in their places, revealing what he'd done to [[Thirteenth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Dan Lewis]] when they arrived looking for Yaz. Swarm prepared to expose them to the full force of time, wondering how long they'd last. ([[TV]]: ''[[War of the Sontarans (TV story)|War of the Sontarans]]'')
Upon Vinder's arrival at Outpost Rose, Vinder was allowed to send one message to his family. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'') He remained at the outpost, making observations of that section of the universe without any change, for 21,713 rotations. On the 21,714th, he noticed an anomaly in the [[Thoribus Trifecta]] and learnt of the damage caused by [[the Flux]], leading him to evacuate at [[System (The Halloween Apocalypse)|System]]'s suggestion. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'')


The Doctor shoved Dan onto a Mouri pedestal, while she leapt onto another and used her [[sonic screwdriver]], trapping Vinder, Dan, Yaz and herself in a [[time storm]].
Vinder found himself in the [[Temple of Atropos]] where he and [[Yasmin Khan]] were forced to assist [[New Swarm|Swarm]] and [[Azure (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Azure]] by standing in place of two dead [[Mouri]]. Swarm planned to expose the two of them, as well as the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] and [[Dan Lewis]] when they arrived looking for Yaz, to the full force of [[time]], ([[TV]]: ''[[War of the Sontarans (TV story)|War of the Sontarans]]'') but the Doctor trapped the four of them in a [[time storm]]. Vinder relived his experiences with the Grand Serpent, seeing Yaz instead of [[Inston-Vee Vinder's commanding officer|his commanding officer]], and afterwards joined the travellers in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to return to [[Inston-Vee Vinder's home planet|his home planet]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'')


Protected in his [[time stream]] by the Doctor, Vinder relived the day he blew the whistle on the Grand Serpent and was reposted to Outpost Rose. However, instead of his [[Inston-Vee Vinder's commanding officer|commanding officer]], he saw Yaz in his place.
=== Finding Bel ===
With a [[communicator]] from the Doctor, Vinder found that his home planet had been destroyed by the Flux and went in search of Bel. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'') He travelled to [[Puzano]] and met [[Namaca Ost Parvess Po]], who directed him to a message that Bel had left for him; the message informed him that she had gone in search of a [[Passenger form]] containing survivors of the Flux deceived by Azure. ([[TV]]: ''[[Village of the Angels (TV story)|Village of the Angels]]'')


While Vinder was safe, trapped reliving his memories, the Doctor replaced the missing Mouri. Safely back in the temple, Vinder promised to help Dan save a kidnapped [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]]. He returned to his [[Inston-Vee Vinder's home planet|home planet]] in the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]], though it had already been eradicated by the Flux. The Doctor gave him a communicator and requested that he stayed in touch. Looking at the ruins of his planet, Vinder made a promise to [[Bel (Once, Upon Time)|Bel]], his missing love: "I'm not giving up. Whatever it takes". ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'')
Following Bel, Vinder travelled to a structure in space and encountered Swarm, who trapped him inside a Passenger inside of which he met [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') He found that Bel was not there and that his communicator did not work inside the Passenger, but they managed to escape and contact the Doctor. The Doctor reunited him with Bel, who told him that she was [[pregnancy|pregnant]] with [[Inston-Vee Vinder's child|his child]].


=== Looking for Bel ===
Vinder and Bel helped fight the [[Sontaran]]s, using a [[Lupari]] [[Lupai ship|ship]] to take out their communications systems. Afterwards, he and [[Kate Stewart]] lured the Grand Serpent to the [[Williamson Tunnels]] and left him on a rock in [[space]]. Vinder and Bel left on the Lupari ship with [[Karvanista]], planning on exploring and picking up some work. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vanquishers (TV story)|The Vanquishers]]'') The Doctor gave Vinder a [[phone]] to contact her with. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'')
Vinder visited [[Puzano]] in search of Bel. He encountered [[Namaca Ost Parvess Po]] who directed him to a message Bel had left for him, revealing she had left in search of a Passenger she'd seen survivors of the Flux being tricked into entering. ([[TV]]: ''[[Village of the Angels (TV story)|Village of the Angels]]'')


Following Bel, Vinder travelled to a structure in space. He encountered Swarm, who trapped him inside a Passenger where Vinder met [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'')
=== Saving the Qurunx ===
After [[Qurunx (The Power of the Doctor)|a Qurunx]] was kidnapped by the [[CyberMaster]]s, Vinder travelled through a [[wormhole]] in search of it and crashed on the [[cyber-conversion planet]]. He called the Doctor after seeing [[the Master's TARDIS]] disguised as hers and was rescued by Yaz and a [[Holo-Doctor]], whom he agreed to help defeat {{Dhawan}} after he [[Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration|forced the Doctor to regenerate]]. He was briefly introduced to [[Ace]].


===Stopping the Master===
Vinder sneaked into the TARDIS and forced the Master to undo the forced regeneration, shooting him in the shoulder when he doubted that he would use his [[gun]]. With the Doctor restored, Vinder joined her and Yaz in the TARDIS as they saved [[Earth]] and returned to the cyber-planet where she repaired his ship and thanked him, sending his family her [[love]] and wishing him safe travels. He returned home through the wormhole and the Doctor released the Qurunx. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'')
Vinder's ship was later pulled through a [[wormhole]] and crashed on the [[cyber-conversion planet]] in orbit of Earth. Vinder became involved in the Doctor and her companions' efforts to stop {{Dhawan}}'s [[The Master's Dalek Plan|plan]], helping [[Yasmin Khan]] to force a [[retro-regeneration]] that sent the Master back to his own body and restored the Doctor. Afterwards, the Doctor took the TARDIS to the planet where she at first had Vinder take one of the controls before changing her mind. The Doctor was able to repair Vinder's ship and, after thanking him for his help, sent Vinder back through the wormhole before she closed it.

Serving Commander Inston-Vee Vinder of Kasto-Winfer-Foxfell was a pilot and guardian. After he turned whistleblower, he was demoted to the role of observation officer manning Observation Outpost Rose. He was at this posting when the Flux arrived and caused the entire galaxy to be erased.

Biography

Early life

Inston-Vee Vinder trained to be a pilot with the Grand Serpent's space fleet and qualified highest in all streams. During the later stages of his training, he risked his own life by flying into a blaze to save the lives of three of his colleagues and received an exceptional honours award and a commendation. Although he suffered no post-traumatic psycho disturbance, he accepted all offers of counselling and term-coming.

Vinder married Bel, with whom he once fought the Daleks. (TV: Once, Upon Time) They planned to do twenty rotations in the floating canals of Puzano for their honeymoon, but they were deployed separately and only got one night in a cubicle hotel opposite the Academy. (TV: Village of the Angels)

Vinder was offered and accepted the role of Guardian of the Grant Serpent at the highest level of security clearance. His first task was to watch over and record a meeting between the Grand Serpent and the Alforia, during which the Grand Serpent had him switch off the recording before naming the assassination of the family of Frey Sampor as a condition of the agreement. Following an "accident" at the lunar range in which four family members of Frey Sampor were killed, Vinder made an official report against the Grand Serpent and was immediately reposted to Observation Outpost Rose.

Meeting the Doctor

Upon Vinder's arrival at Outpost Rose, Vinder was allowed to send one message to his family. (TV: Once, Upon Time) He remained at the outpost, making observations of that section of the universe without any change, for 21,713 rotations. On the 21,714th, he noticed an anomaly in the Thoribus Trifecta and learnt of the damage caused by the Flux, leading him to evacuate at System's suggestion. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)

Vinder found himself in the Temple of Atropos where he and Yasmin Khan were forced to assist Swarm and Azure by standing in place of two dead Mouri. Swarm planned to expose the two of them, as well as the Thirteenth Doctor and Dan Lewis when they arrived looking for Yaz, to the full force of time, (TV: War of the Sontarans) but the Doctor trapped the four of them in a time storm. Vinder relived his experiences with the Grand Serpent, seeing Yaz instead of his commanding officer, and afterwards joined the travellers in the TARDIS to return to his home planet. (TV: Once, Upon Time)

Finding Bel

With a communicator from the Doctor, Vinder found that his home planet had been destroyed by the Flux and went in search of Bel. (TV: Once, Upon Time) He travelled to Puzano and met Namaca Ost Parvess Po, who directed him to a message that Bel had left for him; the message informed him that she had gone in search of a Passenger form containing survivors of the Flux deceived by Azure. (TV: Village of the Angels)

Following Bel, Vinder travelled to a structure in space and encountered Swarm, who trapped him inside a Passenger inside of which he met Diane. (TV: Survivors of the Flux) He found that Bel was not there and that his communicator did not work inside the Passenger, but they managed to escape and contact the Doctor. The Doctor reunited him with Bel, who told him that she was pregnant with his child.

Vinder and Bel helped fight the Sontarans, using a Lupari ship to take out their communications systems. Afterwards, he and Kate Stewart lured the Grand Serpent to the Williamson Tunnels and left him on a rock in space. Vinder and Bel left on the Lupari ship with Karvanista, planning on exploring and picking up some work. (TV: The Vanquishers) The Doctor gave Vinder a phone to contact her with. (TV: The Power of the Doctor)

Saving the Qurunx

After a Qurunx was kidnapped by the CyberMasters, Vinder travelled through a wormhole in search of it and crashed on the cyber-conversion planet. He called the Doctor after seeing the Master's TARDIS disguised as hers and was rescued by Yaz and a Holo-Doctor, whom he agreed to help defeat the Spy Master after he forced the Doctor to regenerate. He was briefly introduced to Ace.

Vinder sneaked into the TARDIS and forced the Master to undo the forced regeneration, shooting him in the shoulder when he doubted that he would use his gun. With the Doctor restored, Vinder joined her and Yaz in the TARDIS as they saved Earth and returned to the cyber-planet where she repaired his ship and thanked him, sending his family her love and wishing him safe travels. He returned home through the wormhole and the Doctor released the Qurunx. (TV: The Power of the Doctor)

Personality

Vinder had contempt for the recipients of his reports on Outpost Rose, telling them to "go to hell" each time he concluded one of them. Nonetheless, he marvelled at the beauty of the universe before him, and saw value in this chance he had to behold it. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)

Vinder considered exile to be a worse fate than death. (TV: The Vanquishers)
