Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Inferno Earth)
Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, also known as the Director, was the father of James and Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart on the Inferno Earth. Unlike his main universe counterpart, Gordon did not die in World War II, as that war did not happen in his universe. By 1959 he was the Director of External Security for the British government. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy, The Schizoid Earth)
Upon Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart's arrival in his reality in 1959, the two were introduced. (PROSE: The Schizoid Earth) Gordon took the boy under his wing, indoctrinating him into the RSF, drugging him heavily, and manipulating him into "the perfect fascist soldier". (PROSE: Ashes of the Inferno)
By the end of the 1960s, Gordon's hunger for power had placed him in office as Leader of the British Republic. (PROSE: Night of the Intelligence)
The Doctor, when visiting the Inferno-Earth recognised the face of Gordon (see on 'Big Brother'-like posters) as one of the faces he was offered at his trial. Leading him to the mistaken belief that the Leader was an alternative version of him. (TV: Inferno, The War Games, The Girl Who Died. PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation)
He died in the volcanic catastrophe that struck Great Britain in the aftermath of I-Day. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy)
