}}'''Arthur Coleman Winters''' was the [[President of the United States]] | }}'''Arthur Coleman Winters''' was the [[President of the United States]] in [[2008]]. After "[[Harold Saxon]]" announced the existence of the [[Toclafane]] to the world, Winters was said to be furious at Great Britain having taken unilateral action. The night before official first contact, Winters flew to the United Kingdom in the presidential aircraft and met with Saxon. Refusing to acknowledge Britain's authority in the matter, Winters had [[UNIT]] seize control and designated himself as the [[United Nations]] ambassador to the Toclafane, overriding Saxon. | ||
Aboard the UNIT ship ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'', which was to serve as the neutral ground meeting point, Winters ordered all armed personnel to withdraw in accordance with UN strictures before the Toclafane appeared. Much to his confusion, they disregarded him and asked for their "Master". Saxon, who in actuality was the renegade Time Lord known as the Master, then stood up and identified himself. Still not understanding the situation, Winters accosted him and demanded an explanation. In response, 'Saxon' stated that he was taking control and ordered one of the Toclafane to kill Winters. One immediately did so, firing a laser bolt that disintegrated the President on the spot. His death, witnessed by the entire world, signalled the start of the [[Toclafane invasion|Toclafane occupation]] of [[Earth]].
