+== Biography ==
-'''Vesuvius''' was the oldest surviving [[robot]] of an [[alternate Earth]] where [[Rome]] never fell. He aided [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]] in the battle to overcome General [[Ironicus]], and was rewarded by being made the new Emperor of Rome. ([[DWM]]: ''[[The Iron Legion]]'')
+While working as a [[historian]], Vesuvius encountered the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Morris (Doctor Who and the Iron Legion)|Morris]]. Noticing that Vesuvius was in distress the Doctor helped to relieve his pressure and, as thanks for his kindness, Vesuvius agreed to take him to the [[Gods of the Roman Empire|Gods]]. However, the Gods later turned out to be the [[Malevilus]] and the trio were forced to escape the [[Temple of the Gods]].
+After Morris was killed, the Doctor and Vesuvius ventured into the catacombs below the city, where Vesuvius told the Doctor about the [[Bestiarus|"Beast-men"]] and protested against his plan to use them against the Malevilus. When the Doctor's plan worked and the Malevilus were defeated, the people named Vesuvius as the new Emperor of the [[Galactic Roman Empire]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Iron Legion]]'')
+Vesuvius was later seen attending [[Bonjaxx]]'s birthday party on [[Maruthea]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Party Animals (comic story)|Party Animals]]'') A [[Vortex parasite]] later conjured up a manifestation of Vesuvius, along with many others, for the Doctor to fight. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Life of Matter and Death (comic story)|A Life of Matter and Death]]'')
+== Behind the scenes ==
+[[File:IronLegionVesuvius.jpg|thumb|Vesuvius' appearance in the [[Big Finish Productions]] [[Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (audio story)|audio adaptation]].]]
+Throughout ''[[Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Iron Legion]]'', Vesuvius is twice identified as the Doctor's companion within recaps given in the strip. This makes Vesuvius the second one-off companion in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', following [[Morris (Doctor Who and the Iron Legion)|Morris]], who appeared in the same story.
