[[Dr]] '''Elizabeth Klein''' was an inhabitant of a defunct [[Alternate timeline (Klein's Story)|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. | [[Dr]] '''Elizabeth Klein''' was an inhabitant of a defunct [[Alternate timeline (Klein's Story)|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]].

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 haunted her as the years went by. | Klein was [[United Kingdom|British]]-[[birth|born]] and grew up in [[England]] during [[World War II]]. Her [[parent]]s, however, were [[Germany|German.]] Because of this, Klein's peers treated her with suspicion and she received a lot of abuse. Her resulting resentment towards her fellow countrymen engendered a sympathy towards [[fascism]] which led her to favour a German victory in the [[war]]. | ||
Such a victory did come to pass after [[October]] [[1944]], when a piece of [[Anachronism|anachronistic]] [[laser]] [[technology]] from [[Ace]]'s [[Walkman]] was recovered by the Nazis at [[Colditz Castle]]. It gave the Germans an edge in the [[nuclear]] race against the [[United States of America|United States]]. The [[Third Reich]] developed the [[atomic bomb]] first, turned it on the [[Allies]] and won the war, creating the timeline Klein came to know as her own.

In [[1962]], Klein was working in the physics department at the [[University of Cambridge]]. She was recruited by Major [[Jonas Faber]] to analyse alien technology for the Reich. She became romantically involved with Faber, who gave her access to a device which had been kept locked away from everyone – [[the TARDIS]]. She was told its pilot had been fatally shot by a border patrol in [[1955]], after which his body had been stolen. Klein could not enter the vessel until a mysterious man calling himself "[[Johann Schmidt]]" gave her the [[TARDIS key]]. | In [[1962]], Klein was working in the physics department at the [[University of Cambridge]].

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.

After Klein and the Doctor left Kenya, he asked her for the story of how she came to pilot the TARDIS to 1944. Upon hearing the details, he explained to her that the enigmatic "Johann Schmidt" had been an alternative future regeneration of himself. Klein was furious to learn her world had been lost through her manipulation by the Doctor, but pretended to accept his version so she would have a chance to turn the tables.
