''' | [[Colonel]] '''Manton''' was a [[human]] who led the operations of [[the Church]] on [[Demons Run]]. Madame [[Kovarian]] and he conspired to kidnap [[Amy Pond]] and steal [[River Song|her baby]]. Manton hated [[the Doctor]] for unknown reasons, but rightfully feared him because of his long history of defeating foes such as [[Dalek]]s, [[Sontaran]]s and [[Cybermen]]. Manton wished to kill him, but underestimated the Doctor's abilities as he was able to defeat the Church forces with ease and without bloodshed. | ||

To show them their advantages over the Doctor, he revealed the strength of their new allies, the [[Headless monk]]s; they were literally headless and could not be diverted by compassion or surprise. However, the Doctor, in disguise as a Monk, revealed himself to Manton and all of the troops. As Manton raised his gun, [[Madame Vastra|Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint|Jenny]], two of the Doctor's allies who had seized the hangar control room, switched off the lights, allowing the Doctor to blend in with the Monks again in the dark. | ||
Confused as to the Doctor's whereabouts, the troops targeted the Monks. One of the troops, believing a Monk to be the Doctor, opened fire, provoking the Monks to draw their weapons and strike down several troops. Realising that the Doctor had gained the upper hand and fearing that the Monks had turned against them, Manton ordered his troops to unload their weapons to persuade the Monks to stand down. The moment the troops finished unloading, a battalion of [[Silurian]] warriors and a platoon of [[Judoon]] teleported into the hangar and forced the rally to surrender. Commander [[Strax]] appeared beside Manton, announcing that the base now belonged to the Doctor. Manton warned that Demons Run would send out an automatic distress call to his outside fleet in the event of an attack; the Doctor, revealing himself once more atop a hangar walkway, countered this by ordering a pair of space-worthy [[Spitfire]]s provided by [[Winston Churchill]] to destroy the base's comms array. With his entire army defeated in minutes, Manton had no choice but to surrender. | Confused as to the Doctor's whereabouts, the troops targeted the Monks.
