Hephaestion was a general, friend, designated successor and loyal servant of Alexander the Great. (AUDIO: Farewell, Great Macedon)
He once walked in on Alexander having sex with Jack Harkness and John Hart, much to his shock. (AUDIO: The Death of Captain Jack)
In 323 BC, he arrived in Babylon with Alexander's army, where he met the First Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara. While in Babylon, he was kidnapped by Antipater, Glaucias and Iollas, who poisoned him with a deadly viper. After being bitten, Hephaestion broke free, killing Glaucias before he died at the feet of the Doctor and his companions, who were subsequently blamed for his death. (AUDIO: Farewell, Great Macedon)
