Arthur Lakesmith led a rebellion against the [[Overseer (Killing Ground)| | Arthur Lakesmith led a rebellion against the [[Overseer (Killing Ground)|Overseers]] in [[2175]], and later, against the [[CyberNomad]]s in [[2176]]. During the battle against the [[Cybermen]], Arthur shot a Cyberman that nearly killed [[Ben Taggart]], before forcing the latter to accompany him back inside [[Population Control]], intending to detonate a makeshift [[bomb]] in the complex's control centre, thereby destroying Population Control and potentially the [[Cyber-Scout craft (Killing Ground)|Cyber-Scout craft]]. However, inside Population Control, Arthur and Ben were ambushed by more Cybermen, one of which punched through a wall and grabbed Arthur; he attempted to fight it off, but the Cyberman began breaking his [[arm]]s. As a result, Arthur instructed Ben to leave him behind and take the bomb to the complex's control centre. Although the Cybermen ripped one of Arthur's arms out of its socket, snapped his [[spine]] and pulled a [[rib]] through the wall of his [[stomach]] - to use him as an example of what would happen to anyone else who rebelled against the Cybermen - he managed to survive the failed rebellion. | ||

Arthur Lakesmith was an excellent leadership figure, as the rebels who fought alongside him in the rebellion against the [[CyberNomad]]s in [[2176]] were inspired by him, and was incredibly selfless, as he had no qualms about [[Self-sacrifice|sacrificing]] himself in order to ensure that the rebellion was a success. However, Arthur did not tolerate selfish [[cowardice]], as demonstrated by his aggressive reaction to [[Ben Taggart]]'s suggestion that the two of them could simply [[surrender]] to the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and allow them to regain control of [[Agora]]. | Arthur Lakesmith was an excellent leadership figure, as the rebels who fought alongside him in the rebellion against the [[CyberNomad]]s in [[2176]] were inspired by him, and was incredibly selfless, as he had no qualms about [[Self-sacrifice|sacrificing]] himself in order to ensure that the rebellion was a success.
