A rank-and-file UNIT soldier with limited operational involvement, appearing exclusively in The Silurians (Season 7, Episode 6) under Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart's command. Focuses on immediate tactical support, such as transporting injured personnel, and does not hold a command rank.
Morton serves as an operational aide within UNIT’s command structure. His attempt to intervene during the confrontation with Broton demonstrates immediate, instinctive loyalty to the Brigadier’s authority. Ambushed from behind during the struggle, his effort to assist highlights a subordinate’s dutiful responsiveness under extreme pressure. His fate remains ambiguous—left injured or potentially killed by Broton’s throttling—yet his actions reinforce his role as a reactive functionary within UNIT’s field hierarchy.
