[[Professor]] '''Eustacius Jericho''' was a [[parapsychologist]] who lived in the village of [[Medderton]]. He was an academic who sought a breakthrough in his field, though always lost out to "better men". In [[November]], [[1967]], he examined the mind of [[Claire Brown]], a percipient whose mind was the refuge of a [[Weeping Angel (Once, Upon Time)|Weeping Angel]]. As a result, he was displaced in time to [[1901]].

Jericho was born in the [[1910s]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') He fought in [[World War II]] and was one of the first [[British]] soldiers to enter [[Belsen]] at the end of the war. ([[TV]]: ''[[Village of the Angels (TV story)|Village of the Angels]]'')

By [[1967]], he was living in a house on the edge of the village of [[Medderton]], overlooking the sea. He owned [[bee]]s, though had neither a partner, nor any children. He was conducting experiments in the field of [[parapsychology]]. Jericho had taken on [[Claire Brown]], a percipient who had experienced a series of premonitions, as a patient and subject for his examinations.

On [[21 November]], he was conducting a lie detector test on [[Claire Brown|Claire]] when he encountered the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] and the [[Weeping Angel]]s. He managed to stall the Angels until he blinked and was sent back to [[1901]], where he met [[Yasmin Khan]] and [[Dan Lewis]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Village of the Angels (TV story)|Village of the Angels]]'')

Over the subsequent three years, Jericho travelled across the world with Yaz and Dan in search of information regarding [[the Flux]]. After a chance meeting with [[Joseph Williamson]], their travels eventually brought them back to England ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') in [[1905]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Eve of the Daleks (TV story)|Eve of the Daleks]]'') Upon arriving in [[Liverpool]], the three explored the [[Williamson Tunnels]] where they encountered Williamson once again. Williamson showed them the purpose of the tunnels: to allow him to guard doorways to multiple different points in time and space. Jericho and the others later fell victim to a [[Sontaran]] attack. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'')

The group retreated through the tunnels, travelling to [[5 December]], [[2021]]. Here, he reunited with the Doctor and accompanied her back to 1967 to recruit Claire into the Sontaran resistance. Jericho and Claire were selected by the Doctor to act as spies within a Sontaran ship, as the Sontarans' [[Psychic Command]] required a [[human]] psychic to send a message to their foes, the [[Dalek]]s and [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]. Eventually, Claire managed to escape, unintentionally leaving Jericho behind.

After a time, the [[Battalion wall]] moved, outnumbering the fleets, including the one Jericho was on, where he was facing certain death from either a Sontaran or the Flux. Although the Doctor contacted Jericho and advised him to get into an escape pod, Jericho, knowing there was not enough time, chose instead to face his death with dignity.
