Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart

Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was one of the founders of UNIT (United Nations Intelligence Taskforce) and commander of its UK operations. His long association with the Doctor has caused some authorities to include him in rosters of the Time Lord's companions, although he only actually travelled with the Doctor on a very few occassions. He was often referred to simply as "the Brigadier," and on rare occassions as "the Brig." The Second and Third Doctors sometimes called him by his surname, while the Fourth Doctor at least once addressed him as "Alistair."

Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart first met the Doctor in the Time Lord's second incarnation during the Yeti attack on the London Underground. Four years after the Yeti invasion, UNIT was investigating the mysterious activities of electronics industrialist Tobias Vaughn. Vaughn was allied with the Cybermen in the first of their many attempts to invade and conquer Earth. With the assistance of the Second Doctor, the Brigadier and his men were able to thwart this invasion attempt ("The Invasion").
