He got angry quickly, insulted his soldiers when they were clearly fear-ridden. He also showed little concern for [[Third Doctor|the Doctor]]'s welfare, trusting him to solve his own problems when he was kidnapped. Likewise, the Doctor was angry, thinking himself too good to be taken prisoner. | ||
