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. | |||

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.
