Biography
Canton was an FBI agent until he left to get married, which was prohibited. Six weeks afterwards, on 8 April 1969, he was contacted by President Nixon to investigate mysterious telephone calls he was receiving. There he met the Eleventh Doctor and allowed him to help in the investigation. He travelled with the Doctor to Florida in search of the little girl who had been calling. Rory Williams explained to Canton how the TARDIS travelled through both time and space and was bigger on the inside.
In 2011, he was invited by a future version of the Doctor to the place where he would die, shot by the astronaut. There he met River, Amy and Rory again, and left them gasoline with which to burn the Doctor's body. After his departure, the trio met a past version of the Doctor and searched for Canton in an attempt to change what had transpired. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)
