As a boy during his school days, Tim feared being bullied for his intellect, so he made sure to make his grades just good enough.

After the Family of Blood was defeated, the Doctor let Latimer have his watch to look after and for good luck. He fought in World War I and survived.

Many years later, the Doctor and Martha Jones saw him again as an old man, a veteran at a Remembrance Day ceremony. He still recognised them and silently acknowledged them, with tears in his eyes. (TV: The Family of Blood)

Tim shared a similar belief in not fighting others, especially if they were poorly armed to combat him, just like the Doctor. He respected the Doctor thanks to what he learned of him, yet still feared the darkness within him. (TV: The Family of Blood)
