Daktari Jonas Ambaye, more often called Dr. Jon St. Myth, was a non-human adventurer who travelled with Berenice and Dorothea Gale in the Collapsing Universe. (PROSE: Blood Heat Second Iteration [+]Loading...["Blood Heat Second Iteration (novel)"])
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
His people dedicated themselves to learning what lay beyond the cosmological horizon of the expanding universe. They built great Ships to "bridge infinity", and all of them set out to explore beyond the edge. But the doctor fled the last of these great Ships in a stolen life raft, the Trisected Abutment Reality Disconnect. None of his people ever returned from their trip, and he occupied himself by seeking adventures within the observable universe which would distract him from the ultimate question.
He had memories of thirteen "once and future selves", incarnations which he explained as "ghosts"; they bore symbols including a cat badge, a penny whistle, and a signet ring. According to a data fragment retrieved from cloud storage, the doctor was uncertain if there was a single identity behind these "fun-house mirror" reflections.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- With the traditional British pronunciation of "St." in personal names, "Jon St. Myth" is pronounced /d͡ʒɒn ˈsɪndmɪθ/, similar to "John Smith", a frequent alias of the Doctor in Doctor Who. Daktari is Swahili for "doctor", and Ambaye is a rough translation of the Swahili pronoun "whom".
- In a Q&A with Josh Wilson of the Oncoming Storm Podcast, author Jim Mortimore described his inspirations in transforming the Seventh Doctor of the original Blood Heat [+]Loading...["Blood Heat (novel)"] into Jon St. Myth:
This is how we come to a 'Flux Doctor' who's essentially a piebald giant 'Robinson Crusoe' type (Yo, Dafoe!) with black Doc Savage hair and ripped gear (shouts Messrs Robeson and Bama), skin like a summer sky on a happier world (thanks 'Outer Limits: The Galaxy Being) a penchant for pirate bling (respec' Mr Cream, and Mr Moore) and a jaunty Buffy-style eloquence ('nuff said, Joss), with a TARDis that is very definitely not a TARDIS […]; the Doctor committed an Act of Ultimate Triage on his own world to stop them ¤¤¤¤ing up the universe with time travel; and he's a very different personality to any Doctor who's come before.
