Rogue is a dashing enigma with an unhappy past, much in the same mould as the Doctor. Having travelled alone and taken on many jobs as a bounty hunter, Rogue has developed a wit that hides the darker and more painful parts of his life, whilst also maintaining a dedication to the job in hand. 

After his encounter with the Doctor, though, Rogue’s nature is changed: aiding the Time Lord in stopping the Chuldur's plans but at the cost of his own freedom. 


Character Bio

When the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday visit a Duchess’ ball in 1813, they aren’t expecting to find a dashing and mysterious bounty hunter called Rogue, on the hunt for shape-shifting bird-like aliens known as the Chuldur

Despite Rogue’s long history of capturing and killing aliens for money, and his reluctance to form relationships (due to losing someone he had loved), he forms a quick and flirtatious partnership with the Doctor; to the extent that they plan to “argue across the stars”. The budding friendship comes to an end when Rogue sacrifices himself in Ruby's place; transporting himself to an unknown dimension along with the villainous Chuldur. 

He did ask the Doctor to find him, though, so all may not be lost...
