Albert Cragg
Albert Cragg was an American scientist and subject of one of the Fourth Doctor's "time tales".
Cragg discovered the secret of time travel and began to work on building a time cabinet, a process which took many months of trial and error. During this time, he also investigated the Pharaoh Tut-Am-Tut, who, according to ancient records, possessed a great treasure of gems which was believed lost, and which Cragg decided to try and steal. After his machine proved itself ready by allowing him to witness the Wright brothers' maiden flight in 1903, and then to return safely to the present, he told his colleagues that he was abandoning his studies of time travel as failures, and then went back in time to 9 July 1368 BC, the day of Tut-Am-Tut's death. Materialising inside Tut-Am-Tut's bedchamber, he claimed to be "a wizard from another land". The dying king asked to see some of the magician's tricks before he died, and was duly impressed by Cragg's "magic" as he demonstrated the functions of a gun, a tape recorder and a camera to the amazed Egyptians. He ended up dismissing his other courtiers to spend his last evening with Cragg.
After he fell asleep, Cragg opened the chest at the foot of his bed to indeed find many jewels, bagging a few. He then ran off to hide in another chamber until the morning when, with the king dead, he would make it back to his time cabinet and return home with the product of his plunder. However, unbeknownst to Cragg, Tut-Am-Tut woke up one last time and made his final request: that, in memory of the magician who had so entertained him, the "wizard's cabinet" be buried inside his pyramid with all his other treasures. When he awoke, Cragg found his cabinet gone and fruitlessly tried to dig his way into the pyramid where Tut-Am-Tut had already been laid to rest. (COMIC: Dr. Who's Time Tales 42)
