Some people consider him a companion, others don't. All acknowledge his significance as a character. The head of UNIT in the 70s ''([[Continuity Snarl|or was it the 80s?]])'', the Brig worked alongside the Doctor and many of his companions in that era and beyond - often defending the Earth from various threats. Retired from UNIT in 1976, though still met up with the Doctor and Sarah Jane (in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'') on occasion.
