Anton Skutnick was a Romanian theoretical scientist who was given an alien supercomputer to destroy so as to not give any military the edge in the Cold War. He wound up on the SS Jolly Wanderer on his way to a Hector Drakos to have it destroyed. He was pursued by Dasha Petrov also known as the Red Gorgon who poisoned him with her finger nail. He fought her and wound up in Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright's cabin whom he entrusted to keep the computer safe and take to Drakos. He eventually succumbed to the poison and died.
