Empty Child

The Empty Child, whose real name was Jamie, was the titular antagonist of the Doctor Who two part story The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.

History[]

Jamie was born in 1937. Nancy, his mother, due to getting pregnant at 16, told Jamie, and everyone else, that he was her brother. In January 1941, Jamie was injured in the London Blitz, left with a massive head trauma on the left side, partial collapse of his chest cavity on the right and a gash on the back of his right hand, and would die in Albion Hospital.

However, Nanogenes from a crashed Chula ambulance ship found his body and, unaware of what a human looked like, assuming the gas mask he was wearing was part of his face, revived him, granting him the abilities of a Chula soldier. Jamie, all but mindless, had only one thought, to find his mother. At the hospital, Dr Constantine tried to get though to him. The Nanogenes would go onto spread a "plague" where all the victims would become "zombies", with Jamie's injuries and a Gas Mask face.

The Empty Child[]

The Empty Child would wander the streets of London, searching for his mother, terrifying the homeless children Nancy was looking after. Rose Tyler spotted him on a roof top and got caught up in the Blitz. After calling the TARIS's fake phone, he tried to enter the house Nancy's gang were looting, but they escaped, and the Doctor tried to talk to him, not knowing his true nature. After finding Nancy, the Empty Child would advance on her, while she tried to get him to recognise her. 

The Doctor Dances[]

After the Doctor ordered the Gas Mask Zombies to go to their room, the Child complied, and headed for his hospital room. He entered his room while the Doctor Rose and Captain Jack Harkness were inside it. After they escaped the Child punched through the wall, with the Gas Mask Zombies holding them in place, until they used the "Squareness gun" to escape through the floor. The Child communicated though a typewriter that the homeless were using, and Jack's radio, telling them that he’s coming to find them. 

After the Doctor, Rose and Jack arrived at the crash site, and opened the ambulance, the emergency protocols were activated, Summing the the Gask Mask Zombie, and the Child as the leader, to the crash site to defend it, surrounding the site. The Doctor, after finding out about Nancy's secret persuaded her to tell the truth to Jamie, and after hugging him, the Nanogenes recognised the superior DNA, and restored Jamie to normal. After the Doctor took off the mask, he joyfully told the human Jamie that he would love pop music in twenty years. Afterwards, Jamie and Nancy were looked after by Dr. Constantine.
