+'''The Mentor''' was an overweight alien, described by the [[Third Doctor]] as a "second-rate impostor". The Mentor himself claimed that his name was not a copy, but "purely coincidental".
+He encountered the [[Third Doctor]], who remained unimpressed, and [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]], who pulled a gun on him.
+Later, he appeared at [[Research Base Truro]], where he met with several other aliens the Doctor defeated in his various incarnations, who turned on each other as a result of their mutual suspicion following the accidental death of [[Kraarn]].

-'''The Mentor''' was a rather pathetic overweight villain similar to the incarnation of [[The Master (UNIT years)|the Master]] most frequently encountered by [[UNIT]]. Like the Master, he had (or thought he had) [[hypnosis]]-based [[mind control]] powers. [[The Brigadier]] pulled a gun on him.

+In an interview with [[Jonathan Morris]] released in ''[[The Widow's Curse (graphic novel)|The Widow's Curse]]'' the description for The Mentor was given as; "A low-rent Master. A man in his sixties who has gone to seed. Balding with a comb-over. Rotund with the tired-eyed look of someone who's had too many gin and tonics. His sinister black outfit is tight around his gut, emphasizing his beer belly". Several of the character's lines paraphrase those of the [[Roger Delgado]] [[The Master (Terror of the Autons)|Master]].
