Bayldon Copper was an employee aboard the Titanic. He pretended to have a first class degree in Earthonomics to get the job of Ship Historian. In reality he had been a student at Mrs. Golightly’s Happy Travelling University and Dry Cleaners.
He was a travelling salesman, reaching retirement with nothing to show for it: no house or anything. He assisted the Doctor in defeating the Hosts. After this adventure, he stood on Earth with no possessions save for the clothes on his back and a credit card he'd been issued by the Capricorn Cruise Lines for the use of purchasing trinkets from the local life forms on Earth (including samples of their local delicacy, beef). His minf over money is strange as he thought one million pound would get him a chocolate bar! The Doctor informed him that the credit card he had was worth 50 million Credits (1 million pounds). Pleased, he planned to make a living on Earth, so he wouldn't spend the rest of his life in prison on Sto (for fraud). (DW: Voyage of the Damned)
It has been suggested by fandom that later, his company, the Mr Copper Foundation developed the Sub-wave communication which came into possession of Harriet Jones. (DW: The Stolen Earth).
