"Did you make this tea? Don't make the tea." 

First Regular Appearance
The Giggle

A dedicated and experienced member of UNIT, Colonel Ibrahim can occasionally be a little rash to go into battle but is committed to the defence of the Earth - while fitting in a workout when he can. He has developed a close working relationship with Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, both as his superior officer and as a friend, and she trusts him as her closest second-in-command.

 

Character Bio

A high-ranking member of UNIT, Colonel Ibrahim is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart's right-hand man and the most prominent member of their military division. 

The Fourteenth Doctor first meets him during the global mass-hysteria caused by the Toymaker. Colonel Ibrahim extracts the Time Lord, along with Donna Noble and Wilfred Mott, from the streets of London, taking him to UNIT HQ. He witnesses the Doctor's bi-generation into the Fifteenth Doctor, and later takes the Toybox, containing the defeated, crushed Toymaker, to the “deepest” UNIT vault. 

The Colonel is present at UNIT HQ when Sutekh, an old enemy of the Doctor’s, materialises around the TARDIS. Like the rest of the Earth’s population, he is killed by Sutekh’s deadly dust, though is brought back to life after the God is defeated by the Doctor and Ruby
