He lived in [[Great Britain]] and was said to employ a private army and keep a large stable. He was responsible for Neon, a phone advertised on the side of [[the 200]]. He also wrote the book ''[[Fighting the Future]]''.

Naismith was the creator of Neon, a phone or phone network. At some point while he was famous, in presumably 2009, he released an autobiographical book, ''[[Fighting the Future]]''.

After the fall of the [[Torchwood Institute]], he acquired the [[Immortality Gate]], a device of [[Vinvocci]] design. He captured [[the Master]] and forced him to repair it. He wanted to use it to give his daughter, [[Abigail Naismith|Abigail]], immortality. Instead, the Master used it to turn everyone in the world into a copy of himself, including Naismith. The Master's work was undone by [[Rassilon]], and Naismith and his daughter fled from their mansion and saw [[Gallifrey]] about to crash into Earth. Naismith and Abigail were later mentioned as having been arrested for "crimes undisclosed", and put into prison. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

While he was certainly intelligent, Naismith was essentially a vain, arrogant meddler who was out of his depth. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

* "Naismith" is another instance of [[Russell T Davies]] reusing names; his earlier ''Century Falls'' features a Dr Josiah Naismith.
