Of all the Doctors, the Fifth was the one who showed the greatest abhorrence for violence and needless bloodshed as well as the pain and suffering of others. Despite this, violence and bloodshed continued to dog his footsteps, as in the massacre in [[Sea Base 4]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Warriors of the Deep]]'') and the number of deaths of anonymous soldiers which led to Tegan's departure.
