Arthur King

Early History
Arthur King was a time agent. He originally met the Doctor on an assignment by the Time Agency to hunt him down. He found the Doctor to actually fight evil, as they did on that assignment, fighting against the Sontarans. He found the Graak, an artificial creation of the Doctor's, to need a host. He volunteered, and the Graak became his symbiont. He also informed the Time Agency about the Doctor, and they called off the man hunt.
