George Hutchinson
Sir George Hutchinson of the small English town of Little Hodcombe was taken over and manipulated by the Malus, who used his mind as the focus of its power.
Biography
George Hutchinson was one of the first villagers of Little Hodcombe to discover the Malus. He attempted to make deals with the Malus to gain powe. It took over his will and used him as a pawn for its ends.
Holding re-enactments of the Battle of Little Hodcombe in the English Civil War, Hutchinson began to take them very seriously indeed. Tthe Malus used him to use them to fuel itself with psychic energy. Hutchinson assumed the personna of a 1640s general and ordered the re-enactment participants like real soldiers. When the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough arrived, he had his second-in-command, Joseph Willow, capture him. The time travellers had come to Little Hodcombe because Tegan's grandfather, Andrew Verney, lived in Little Hodcombe and she wanted to visit him. When they persisted in interfering, Hutchinson tried to have Tegan burned alive as in old Queen of the May tradition.
Will Chandler, whom the Malus had physically transported from the time of the English Civil War, killed Hutchinson by throwing him at a physical manifestation of the Malus in a pit. (DW: The Awakening)
