Full name: Harry Sullivan

Age (approx if not sure): Late 50s
Gender: Male
Link to picture of character (if possible):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Harry_Sullivan.jpg although he's aged 30 years since then - I can't provide a picture of Harry in his 50s because the actor died when he was 42.
Point in time when character has been taken from canon: Just as he goes off on a hush-hush mission and disappears with no word, as mentioned in the second series of the Sarah Jane Smith audios.
Character History: Harry's mother died when he was a child and when his father re-married, Harry gained a much younger step-brother, Will. Will looked up to Harry, to the extent where he followed his older brother into the medical profession.
After doing a medical degree at university (where he also rowed), Harry joined the Navy. His reasoning for this was partly adventure, along with the idea that shared friendships were based on hardship, which he'd learnt on the rugby field in school.
He didn't have quite so much of the adventure part as he spent his first years in the Navy based at Dartmouth Training College, Portsmouth and on the Ark Royal. He wasn't quite so happy at being posted to Faslane Naval Base in Scotland, because he'd far rather be out at sea. However, he did manage to get himself a girlfriend (Esther), who is the sister of his best friend. Not long after he met her he got entangled with a UNIT investigation. He impressed the
Brigadier enough for the latter to offer him a transfer to UNIT as the Medical Officer (MO) after his tour of duty ended.
However, even then there wasn't that much adventure until the Doctor regenerated and Harry was called in. After a failed attempt to go undercover 'like James Bond' he was invited onto the TARDIS along with Sarah Jane Smith. Harry and Esther had already drifted apart by this point and the further distance between them caused by the TARDIS finally ends it.
His experiences with Sarah and the Doctor were more than enough adventure for him and he left the TARDIS at the first opportunity. However, he was still in UNIT, so his life wasn't quiet even then. When Sarah was left on Earth the two of them had a short, but doomed relationship, because although he loved her, she could never love him and he knew it.
After this he left UNIT and was later assigned to work on Weapons Research in Yarra, near where Esther lived and the two of them briefly got back together. Although Harry had changed in the ten years since they last saw each other, Esther hadn't, and she was no longer what he wanted.
After doing some consulting for MI-5 he ended up joining them and working his way up to Deputy Director (a more common job title than it sounds), but it wasn't not all plain sailing. He ended up dealing with the same alien invaders twice with the help of the Doctor and Sarah in the first instance. The second incident led to his cleaning lady getting killed, which Harry felt responsible for.
He then moved to NATO and now works on some hush-hush research involving aliens and often finds himself working with UNIT in an unofficial capacity. He has dinner with Sarah every year and it's at one of those he tells her that he's leaving on a hush-hush mission, but doesn't give any more details than that.
Character Personality (please also include how the stress of incarceration and the Warden's interference may affect your character. We realize that character interaction may influence and change this, however, certain aspects of your character's personality may be considered constant):
Harry's a perfect gentleman who wouldn't be out of place in the 1930s. As far as he's concerned, women should be put on a pedestal and treated properly, which includes things like opening doors for them and pulling out their chair at dinner. That most women he comes across don't agree with him on those points never changes his beliefs on that front.
Everything with Harry is proper. When he meets the Doctor it takes him a while to get to grips with the idea that when he steps out of the TARDIS they're many thousands of years in the future. It helps, though, that he's called upon in his medical capacity and is nearly killed, so that is more important to think about at the time. However, he does leave the TARDIS at the first opportunity and stays on Earth in his own time after that.
Despite wanting adventure, he initially finds travelling with the Doctor is a bit too much adventure and what he really wants is to leave the Navy and have a practice in the country. Probably with a wife and children too. But it doesn't happen like that. What he sees with UNIT and the Doctor changes him and Harry spends the rest of his life saving the world and questioning a lot of the things he's come to believe. He can't walk away from any of it long enough to have that boring life.
He also likes to tell stories. He told them to his step-brother and he later tells them to his friends in the pub. Of course, no one believes them, but it doesn't help that he changes the adventures he has slightly to make himself sound more heroic (however reluctantly heroic it is) and in some cases makes them up completely. The irony is that he is a hero, he just doesn't see himself that way. As far as he's concerned, he's just doing what's right and that's all there is to it.
Despite being passionate about what he does, sometimes at the expense of his personal life, he's a very private person, so it's not that easy to tell how passionate he is. His work is secret so he doesn't talk about that, but he doesn't talk about his private life either. To the extent that one of his best friends, who he's known for thirty years, doesn't know he has a step-brother.
He's quite a laid-back person, so being incarcerated won't bother him at first (he has been locked up before). He won't be that happy about it, but he won't be jumping at the bit to escape. He'll also feel that he needs to stay, regardless of what he wants, because the people there need another doctor. The slightly odd effects in the prison are more likely to make him think "here we go again" than bother him, because he's seen similar and got used to them over time.
What will annoy him is not being able to get any answers as to what he's done to be locked up in such a place - as far as he's concerned he hasn't done anything wrong, although he might have skirted the edges of the line from time to time. He will be persistent in trying to find out what's going on - both inside the prison and out of it.
Physical Description: He's about 6 foot tall with curly dark hair, which is greying, especially at the temples. He's average build and not too fat or too thin.
Magical powers or special skills: (Please indicate which powers/skills are natural/born with talent and which are learned. If the powers are a mixture of both, please indicate and explain. IE: Harry Potter has natural magical powers, but cannot control/use spells without being taught). None
Any crimes committed in canon: N/A
Crime incarcerated into Glaxcin for: (this can be any crime(s) of your choosing, especially if the character is not a criminal in their canon): Violation of the Official Secrets Act
Is there any particular direction you would like to see your character go? Anything you would like to explore?: Harry's such a cool, calm and collected person that I'd like to see what he does after being locked up and messed about with over a longer period of time. He's not the sort of person to throw a massive wobbler, but something will have to give sometime. I'd also like to see him use his medical skills on patients because in recent canon, he's mostly just used them for research.
