[[Dr]] '''Elizabeth Klein''' was an inhabitant of a defunct [[alternative timeline]] accidentally created when the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] left a piece of [[laser]] technology in the hands of the [[Nazi]]s at [[Colditz Castle]] in [[October]] [[1944]]. This led to their victory in [[World War II]]. She was the sole remnant of that timeline and a companion-in-adversity of the Seventh Doctor. | [[Dr]] '''Elizabeth Klein''' was an inhabitant of a defunct [[alternative timeline]] accidentally created when the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] left a piece of [[laser]] technology in the hands of the [[Nazi]]s at [[Colditz Castle]] in [[October]] [[1944]]. This led to their victory in [[World War II]]. She was the sole remnant of that timeline and a companion-in-adversity of the Seventh Doctor, later having her own timeline rewritten to the "normal" one as well. | ||

=== First Timeline === | |||
Klein was a favourite of the Führer, [[Adolf Hitler]], who assigned her many important duties on behalf of the Reich. In [[1957]], she was commissioned to investigate the outbreak of a deadly virus in [[Kenya]]. She failed to trace its source and was pulled off the mission before she could investigate further. This failure would haunt her as the years went by. | Klein was a favourite of the Führer, [[Adolf Hitler]], who assigned her many important duties on behalf of the Reich.

Unfortunately for Klein, her arrival in [[October]] [[1944]] alerted the Seventh Doctor to the impending alteration of history and he and Ace were able to prevent it. Klein was stranded in the proper timeline. Believing her mistake had destroyed the correct version of history, she vowed to get the TARDIS back and restore her world.

=== Second Timeline === | |||
With other Nazis who fled the fall of [[Berlin]] in [[1945]], Klein ended up in South America. She worked with [[De Flores|Hans De Flores]] and earned an additional doctorate, this one in medicine. She set out for Africa, where she hoped her timeline's events would repeat in this timeline's [[1950s]]. This would give her another chance to learn the source of the mysterious virus. Isolated in a house with other women during the Mau Mau Uprising in [[Kenya|British Kenya]] in [[1953]], she again met the Seventh Doctor. Despite their animosity, they worked together to solve the mystery of the virus and stop the [[Cheylis]] plot to use Earth as a testing ground for biological warfare. The Doctor, knowing Klein would continue to pose a threat to history, insisted she accompany him as a companion on his travels so he could keep an eye on her.

The actual outcome was quite different. The prime reality was restored and another Dr. Elizabeth Klein came to be. This was a Klein known for her triumphs working for UNIT. Her personality appeared to be the same, except that this new Klein devoted her talents to the protection of Earth. Upon meeting the Doctor in the true timeline, she recognised him slightly although her experiences with him had been erased.

This version of Klein worked with the Seventh Doctor and [[Raine Creevy|Raine]] to stop a series of alien invasions orchestrated by {{Macqueen}}. <!-- is this a spoiler? !--> ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[UNIT: Dominion (audio story)| Dominion]]'') | |||
Later, the Doctor asked her to come traveling with him again. Unbeknownst to them at first, Klein's assistant [[Will Arrowsmith]], eager to meet the Doctor, stowed away aboard the TARDIS and was brought along. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'') | |||

Although she held that the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few, she formed close, compassionate relationships people, as evidenced by the impact Lucy's death had on her ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Thousand Tiny Wings (audio story)|A Thousand Tiny Wings]]'') and her concern for the Vrill ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Survival of the Fittest (audio story)|Survival of the Fittest]]''). She knew of the atrocities which Nazis like Mengele committed, but differentiated their actions and ideals, saying that Mengele went too far. | ||
Even so, Klein was not beyond coolly executing an enemy or torturing one for information. She was not intimidated by the Doctor nor his reputation. She was not a hypocrite; she was willing to die for the greater number of people to survive, although she | Even so, Klein was not beyond coolly executing an enemy or torturing one for information.

Rather like [[Liz Shaw]], Klein was recruited from university. She showed an interest in and knowledge of the more esoteric and experimental sciences, such as time travel. Faber said she was unlike many of her contemporaries, with an open, questioning, mind. Before her removal from history, she came to agree with the Doctor on some points, particularly with his observation that no matter how much she changed history, it would never feel completely "right". | Rather like [[Liz Shaw]], Klein was recruited from university.
