In the [[Unbound Universe]], '''Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood''' was a [[colonel]] of [[United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (Unbound Universe)|UNIT]], following a disgraced Brigadier [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Unbound Universe)|Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] who'd retired from UNIT following a number of disasters. Even though he was a serving officer in UNIT, he didn't believe Lethbridge-Stewart's accounts of aliens, [[dinosaur]]s, and [[time travel]] because there was no evidence of it - instead viewing the man with contempt. | |||
'''Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood''' was | |||
On [[30 June]] [[1997]], he led a team to [[Hong Kong (Unbound Universe)|Hong Kong]] to retrieve [[Unbound Master|Ke Le]] before the transfer of sovereignty. He resented the mission and showed nonchalance towards civilians who were distraught and did not care about the sanctity of the local [[monastery]] which he took over as his HQ. | |||
After initially coming into conflict with [[Unbound Doctor|the Doctor]] and Lethbridge-Stewart, Wood was convinced to ally with them after Ke Le, in fact the [[Time Lord (Unbound Universe)|Time Lord]] known as the Master, unleashed a psychic [[parasite]] that fed on the aggression of Wood's soldiers. After the Doctor and the Master had made a bargain, the group left with the parasite for the waterfront so that Wood's men could flee what was soon to be [[China|Chinese]] territory while the Doctor and the Master would escape in [[Unbound Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's TARDIS]] to destroy the parasite. Though Wood led his men to the docks, they were delayed by the Master requesting sanctuary, the rescue boats leaving when midnight struck, leaving them stranded on Chinese soil. As Wood frantically called this in, the death of the parasite caused the [[Ke Le Division]]s to go mad and they opened fire on the area.

* He was originally Colonel Singh, an English [[Sikh]], but [[Jonathan Clements]] decided "a double-barrelled name was more appropriate - to accentuate the fact that he was the antagonist of the Brigadier, just as the Doctor is constantly at odds with the Master". He was made Scottish after Tennant was cast.<ref>[http://www.muramasaindustries.com/other/interviews/bigfinish/bigfinish.html Big Finish Interview: Sympathy for the Devil]</ref> | |||
* An alternate version of [[Ross Brimmicombe-Wood]] appears in the [[UNIT (audio series)|''UNIT'' audio series]]. That version turns out to be a traitor for the [[Internal Counter-Intelligence Service]], playing off the fact the audience already knew him to be a loyal soldier. | |||
