'''Colonel Manton''' was a [[human]] who led the Anglican Marines, a militaristic wing of [[The Church|the Church]]. He and Madame [[Kovarian]] conspired to kidnap [[Amy Pond]] and steal [[River Song|her baby]].

Confused as to the Doctor's whereabouts, the troops began to target the Monks - one of the troops, believing a Monk to be the Doctor, opened fire, provoking the Monks to draw their weapons and strike down several troops. Realising that the Doctor had gained the upper hand, and fearing that the Monks had turned against them, Manton ordered all of his troops to unload their weapons in order to persuade the Monks to stand down. However, the moment the troops finished unloading, a large battalion of [[Silurian]] warriors, as well as a group of [[Judoon]], teleported into the hangar, forcing the rally to surrender. Commander [[Strax]] then appeared beside Manton, announcing that the base now belonged to the Doctor. Manton warned that Demons Run would send out an automatic distress call to his outside fleet in the event of an attack; the Doctor, revealing himself once more atop a hangar walkway, countered this by ordering a pair of space-worthy [[Spitfire]]s, provided by [[Winston Churchill]], to destroy the base's comms array. With his entire army defeated in a matter of minutes, Manton had no choice but to surrender. | Confused as to the Doctor's whereabouts, the troops began to target the Monks - one of the troops, believing a Monk to be the Doctor, opened fire, provoking the Monks to draw their weapons and strike down several troops.

Manton was later called to the Doctor in the hangar control room.

The Doctor, infuriated at how Manton and Kovarian had conspired to reach him by hurting his loved ones, forced Manton to order his troops to "run away", angrily taunting him that he would be known from then on as "Colonel Runaway" by everyone who saw him. As Manton was effectively useless for her secret plan, Kovarian abandoned him to the Doctor's orders, cruelly remarking "give the order, Colonel Runaway".
