Half Face Man

“	I burned an ancient, beautiful creature for one inch of optic nerve. What do you think you can accomplish, little man?	„
	~ Half Face Man to the Doctor

The Half Face Man is the main antagonist of the Doctor Who episode "Deep Breath".

He used to be the Central Command Node on the time traveling ship SS Marie Antoinette (sister ship to SS Madame de Pompadour which another group of Clockwork Repair Droids tried to repair with Madame de Pompadour's brain). The ship crashed on Earth around the Mesozoic Era causing the human crew to die and the droids to remain on Earth for millions of years, replacing their parts every so often until there was virtually nothing left of their original selves.

He was portrayed by Peter Ferdinando.

Biography[]

The Half Face Man and the other droids started to harvest human organs (including an optic nerve from a T-Rex) to repair their ship in order to reach "The Promised Land" and based their factory underneath the floor of a restaurant called Mancini's Family Restaurant in Victorian London. The Twelfth Doctor and his companion Clara Oswald came to the restaurant and discovered that everyone else there were droids before they were lowered into the factory and came across the Half Face Man who was charging himself. Using the Doctor's sonic screwdriver, the two were able to break free and prepared to leave but then the Half Face Man woke up. The Doctor was able to escape but the door of the factory shut on Clara. She helds her breath to stop the other droids from attacking her but passed out from holding her breath too long. She was brought to the Half Face Man who demanded that she tell him where the Doctor was or she would be destroyed. When she refused, he pulled off one of his hands and revealed a blowtorch underneath it and continued to ask where the Doctor was. Clara told him that the Doctor always had her back and sticks her hand out behind her believing the Doctor will be there and take it. Just then one of the droids took Clara's hand before removing its face to reveal the Doctor. He along with Clara then said Geronimo to call for The Paternoster Gang to help them fight the droids.

The Half Face Man fled to the ship's escape capsule, a hot air balloon made from human skin. He was pursued by the Doctor who told him that the Promised Land doesn't exist and said that, being the droids leader, they would deactivate if he dies. The Half Face Man said that self-destruct is not in his basic programming and the Doctor replied that murder is not part of his, before a brief scuffle between the two. They then said that one of them was lying about their basic programming and they thought they know which one. He was then seen impaled on Big Ben but it is unknown whether he jumped or the Doctor pushed him out of the capsule. Due to his death the other droids deactivated just moments from killing Clara and the Paternoster Gang. Following his death, the Half Face Man woke up to find himself in a garden and met a woman named Missy who claimed to be the Doctor's girlfriend and told him that he reached the Promised Land and was in Heaven.
