Aleister Portillon
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Aleister Portillon was the thirteenth Earl of Wetstone, and a close descendant of Squire Claude Portillon. He was overseeing excavation at Tranchard's Folly when he was attacked by a creature, but managed to survive by playing dead. He had the complete works of Lord Byron, including a biography of Mary Shelley. He helped Mary find information on the Varaxils in the TARDIS library, and managed to gain the Witch Star configuration from "Lucern" and "Finicia", enabling Mary to destroy them. Mary left him the TARDIS' biography of herself, before departing with the Eighth Doctor. (AUDIO: The Witch From the Well)
