Biography

Cleary joined UNIT in the early 1970s, being appointed at one point to look after The Master's TARDIS, which was disguised as a trailer at a carnival. (DW: Terror of the Autons) He was present at Stangmoor Prison, where he shot a prisoner. (DW: The Mind of Evil) He was also attacked by an Axon at Nuton Power Complex, and later suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of an encounter with the Devil. (DW: The Claws of Axos, The Daemons)

He was subsequently taken to the Glasshouse, where he received mental conditioning from the director to go back in time and assassinate U. S. President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. Before he did this, however, he was hypnotised to shoot Dodo Chaplet, the lover of James Stevens, a reporter who had threatened to expose the Glasshouse. He managed to travel back in time, but James followed and knocked him unconscious. When James brought him back to the present, Cleary suffered brain damage and was sent to hospital for permanent care.
