History[]

Mike Yates was a Captain in UNIT, an international paramilitary organisation under the command of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, which existed to protect the Earth from alien threats. He was a valued member of the team and a close associate of its scientific adviser the Doctor until a rather unfortunate brainwashing incident led to his being kicked out of the army after he became part of Operation Golden Age, a conspiracy to basically undo the whole of human history. He has since managed to get his head together again.
