Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Millington was educated at school with the future mathematician Judson during the second decade of the 20th century, and the two became close friends for the next thirty years. However, for most of that period, it was a relationship that became increasingly bitter. Judson suffered a terrible accident deliberately caused by Millington on the school rugby field in the 1920s after seeing him make a pass at another boy, as a result of which his spine was fractured and he had to use a wheelchair. (PROSE: The Curse of Fenric)
Millington was completely obsessed with winning the war at any cost, as well as with the local Viking myths. He was also fixated on preparing for the 'next' war with the Soviet Union despite the Soviets being allies to the British in the present, to the extent that he created a scenario where the Russians would steal the ULTIMA machine after he had sabotaged it to release a deadly nerve gas once it translated a certain word: "Love".
Millington's office on the base was designed to look exactly like the German naval cypher room in Berlin, complete with Nazi paraphernalia to get into the Nazi mindset.
Growing increasingly unhinged, Millington ultimately joined forces with Fenric to spread the nerve gas across the entire world. He then accused Captain Bates of being a traitor for helping the Seventh Doctor and the Russian soldiers, despite the fact that Millington himself had effectively betrayed his entire planet to Fenric. However, before Millington could murder Bates, he was shot and killed by Vershinin. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
