Smith was a [[Scotland|Scotsman]] who supposedly came from [[Aberdeen]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Prelude Human Nature (short story)|Prelude Human Nature]]'') He taught history, specifically that of the [[Bronze Age]], at [[Hulton College]] in [[Farringham]], [[Norfolk]]. Although he lacked the Doctor's knack for plans, and was more emotionally available than the Doctor, he nevertheless displayed the Doctor's key beliefs on non-violence, being unwilling to take up guns even after seeing one of his students shot. He was briefly the lover of [[Joan Redfern (novel character)|Joan Redfern]], but this relationship was cut short when Farringham was attacked by the [[Aubertide]]s, a race of creatures seeking the Doctor's [[biodata]] — contained in a pod for when the Doctor was ready to become Gallifreyan once more — to increase their reproductive cycle and allow them to conquer [[Gallifrey]]. | Smith was a [[Scotland|Scotsman]] who supposedly came from [[Aberdeen]].

Although scared by what the Doctor represented, Smith was persuaded to assume the Doctor's identity once again when a vision of "Verity" — an old relationship of his, but really an aspect of [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] left in Smith's mind to protect those aspects of the Doctor that couldn't be extracted — reminded him of how the two were similar. Having returned to normal, the Doctor tricked one of the aliens into taking the pod that now contained Smith's biodata. The alien turned into Smith, who chose to sacrifice himself for Joan. After a brief conversation with the Doctor — during which the Doctor told Smith that he did rather well in his time as the Doctor — Smith was taken by [[Death ( | Although scared by what the Doctor represented, Smith was persuaded to assume the Doctor's identity once again when a vision of "Verity" — an old relationship of his, but really an aspect of [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] left in Smith's mind to protect those aspects of the Doctor that couldn't be extracted — reminded him of how the two were similar.
