Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
After Dr. Sally Arnold rediscovered a Nestene pod placed in storage many years prior to 1996, she and her assistant, Janice, tried to activate the fragment and was unsuccessful until she exposed it to deep-space transmissions. Re-establishing contact with the Nestene Consciousness, the pod killed Janice before escaping. The building was placed under quarantine and searched by UNIT operatives led by Lockwood, Daniel Matthews and James Ramsay. The Nestene creature confronted archivist Graham Winslet and replicated his form to spy on the others as an Auton, (HOMEVID: Auton) destroying Winslet's mind. (HOMEVID: Auton 3: Awakening) Sally helped Lockwood find a hidden room containing more Nestene pods and Doctor John Smith's UHF transmitter from Black Thursday. However, though the transmitter was useful in destroying the pod's Autons, Lockwood prevented Sally from destroying the Auton Winslet so they he could study it, giving it the chance to escape through an air vent.

Evading capture for two more years, the Auton made its way to Sentinel Island, and again took on the appearance of Winslet — this time masquerading as a vicar. It took over the island community to revive ancient Nestene creatures buried beneath the Earth's surface. A UNIT force headed by Lockwood, Ramsey and Natasha Alexander defeated the Autons again, but Lockwood absorbed the energy from the giant Nestene creature, destroying the Auton Winslet.

When the Autons found real Winslet at Millhampton, they created another duplicate of him to direct their operations in Millhampton. With the help of Sally and Ramsay, the real Winslet escaped and challenged his Auton duplicate as he tortured Lockwood. Though he was killed, he provided a distraction for Lockwood, letting him end his life and break the Nestene's control over him. (HOMEVID: Auton 3: Awakening)
