THE SOLDIER - TAKEN

ALBERT HUMBLE is TWENTY YEARS OLD and has been onboard the TARDIS for ONE YEAR. HE is portrayed by LOAN LERMAN.

THREE FACTS

This human found themselves on the frontline after being conscripted during the Second World War in late 1939. 

This human lied about their age and was taken into the army at age seventeen when their older sibling went into the army to. Tricked into thinking there would be glory when they returned home, they blindly went to war. 

In 1941, this human was badly injured. Calling out for a Doctor, they thought nobody would come when they passed out. When they awoke again, however, they found that a very special Doctor had come to their aid indeed. 

PERSONALITY TRAITS

Loyal & Creative & Hopeful

Foolish & Gullible & Guarded

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Hounslow, London, England to Rose and Arthur Humble, Bertie was the second and youngest child. James, his brother, and he grew up incredibly close just around the corner from the florists that his family owned. Surrounded by flowers and loving parents, Bertie couldn’t ask for much more. That was, until, of course, his father passed away of TB when he was twelve years old and his brother was sixteen. 

From that moment, things seemed to decline, their mother fell ill with depression or, rather, the alcohol she consumed to numb the grief. Bertie and James had no choice other than to take over the florist together. They managed ti support each other through a time where it felt like there was nobody else left in the world. 

In 1939, Bertie, only seventeen, and James, twenty-one, were conscripted into the army. Bertie, having lied about his age so he could go with his brother, followed without a thought, leaving his mother behind. That would be the last tim he’d see her.

The following years were long and changing. The once happy-go-lucky young man became hardened and riddled with trauma.The boy who once couldn’t even stand the thought of killing someone, held a gun like it was an extension of his arm. When he received the news his brother had passed, that was when he guarded walls really cemented around him.

In 1941, nineteen, Bertie lay in the mud and grime, bleeding out staring at the grey sky. He called out for medical attention only just before he closed his eyes, embracing what had taken his brother. 

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in  a place that was certainly no hospital and certainly not home. Not yet. Someone introduced themselves as the Doctor, explaining that he was in a spaceship and he was safe now. Bertie couldn’t quie believe it until he looked out the doors and saw nothing but the large expanses of space.

Albert ‘Bertie’ Humble is 20 years old and works as a florist at In Bloom. He has lived in Devil’s Point for 2 years, and is portrayed by Logan Lerman.

Head Canons:

Having grown up in a small rural village in England, Bertie and his older brother, James, went to America in search of adventure. Eventually, they settled in Devils Point when the money that James had earned ran dry. Staying was supposed to be only a temporary thing but, after Bertie began to settle in, it was difficult to convince him to leave. James decided to continue his adventures on his own but promised to return one day. It’s been a year and a half since then.

Bertie has always loved flowers. His late mother kept a beautiful garden before she passed and he could name every flower that inhabited it. Working in the florist is something, he believes, is in his blood and he takes great enjoy in his job.

Bertie is struggling with his sexuality. It’s not that he fears his brother and everyone around him won’t accept him for it, it’s more the fear that things might change. Having never really fitted in at home, in England, he is terrified that he would jeopardise everything because of how he feels.

Bertie has a deep, overwhelming fear of sharks and has had it his entire life.

Bertie has been spending an awful lot of time at the library when not working. Having left school early to explore America, it is his biggest regret that he never spent the time to educate himself. One day, he hopes to get himself a degree. Until then, he continues to study everything and anything he can get his hands on.

The Band Scary Pockets performing a soulful iteration of Radiohead’s 1993 anti-anthem, “Creep” (On Youtube at https://youtu.be/tcNuPheBQgU)

Well that was incredible. The singer was just pouring out a heart rending, soulful rendition of Creep that would make your chest shudder.  Her possessed  driven voice was looking to smash right out of that room, like a gail force from massive unseen pipes.  She could turn from whisper to soaring then back.  

Meanwhile, the backing band  played a giddily infectious and genial vamp, like it just went right over their heads that Creep is a devastatingly sorrowful song–not melancholy, but acute anguish, bereaved loss as a freely gushing wound that doesn’t heal.But no, they carried entire duration  of the song–like it was jauntily amiable, laid back and with the purest kind of no-fucks-to-give, bounce in its gait.  For me, it recalled the sensation and storied feel of Herbie Hancock’s Fat Albert Rotunda, or the lope along good natured Linus and Lucy theme from countless Peanuts animated specials–which only added to the thick warm mallow feeling it stirred in me.  

Her voice railed with loneliness and loss.  It’s sonorous dolor filled the air enveloping the rhythm section, but instead of leaching the vitality out of them, it was like they just absorbed her energy for juice.  It cranked the mood coming off them from dopey laissez-faire to jubilation, the loping feel of the rhythm’s stride shifted subtly, rising in mood to a march. Then up from march to a joyous victory dance  without changing any tempo, dynamic, or orchestration, just like they appropriated the agony energy of her song and transformed it into an aural ecstasy  more suited to a dervish.

Ann Clare Boothe and Henry Luce

Ann Clare Boothe was born in New York City on March 10, 1903. Her parents were not married and would separate in 1912. Her father, a sophisticated man and a brilliant violinist, instilled in his daughter a love of literature but had trouble holding a job and spent years as a travelling salesman. Her ambitious mother's initial plan for her was to become an actress.

After a tour of Europe with her mother and stepfather, Dr. Albert E. Austin, whom Ann Boothe married in 1919, she became interested in the women's suffrage movement, and she was hired by Alva Belmont to work for the National Woman's Party in Washington, D.C. and Seneca Falls, New York.

Highly intelligent, ambitious, and blessed with a deceptively fragile blonde beauty, the young Clare soon abandoned ideological feminism to pursue other interests. She wed George Tuttle Brokaw, millionaire heir to a New York clothing fortune, on August 10, 1923, at the age of 20. They had one daughter. According to Boothe, Brokaw was a hopeless alcoholic, and the marriage ended in divorce in 1929.

At this stage Clare Boothe Brokaw clearly placed immense value on being known for her style. Her dining room, which overlooked the city, Lerman remembered, “was covered with silver tea paper painted over with a panorama of the New York skyline in Matisse colors.” The table, which seated twenty, was smoky mirror glass, reflecting the mural of New York and Clare’s own skyscraper ambitions. Her living room was also very much à la mode, a study in Chinese red, black, and white. Clare had the money and nerve to prop up her ambitions; she met Condé Nast at a party and demanded a job. When he said no, she showed up anyway—she just sat down at a desk at Vogue and wrote captions until he relented. She was quickly moved to Vanity Fair, a man’s world editorially and more her style than the frivolous world of Vogue in 1930. In those days Vanity Fair was quartered in three semi-partitioned rooms between the elevators and the airy, scented suites of Vogue. Clare started off writing captions for the Hall of Fame. One of her first was about Henry Luce, the founder of Time Inc.

On November 23, 1935, Ann Clare married Henry Luce, who was publisher of Time, Life, and Fortune magazines. And the cornerstone of what is known today as Time-Warner.

Henry Robinson Luce was born in Dengzhou, China, in April 1898, Henry Luce traveled extensively throughout his life and was comfortable anywhere in the world.

The marriage between Clare and Henry was difficult. Henry was by any standard extremely successful, but his physical awkwardness, lack of humor, and newsman's discomfort with any conversation that was not strictly factual put him in awe of his beautiful wife's social poise, wit, and fertile imagination. Clare's years as managing editor of Vanity Fair left her with an avid interest in journalism (she suggested the idea of Life magazine to her husband before it was developed internally). Henry himself was generous in encouraging her to write for Life, but the question of how much coverage she should be accorded in Time, as she grew more famous, was always a careful balancing act for Henry since he did not want to be accused of nepotism.

In 1942, Ann Clare won a Republican seat in the United States House of Representatives representing Fairfield County, Connecticut, the 4th Congressional District. She based her platform on three goals: "One, to win the war. Two, to prosecute that war as loyally and effectively as we can as Republicans. Three, to bring about a better world and a durable peace, with special attention to post-war security and employment here at home." During her second term at office, Luce was instrumental in the creation of the Atomic Energy Commission.

On January 11, 1944, her only daughter from her former marriage with George Tuttle Brokaw died at age 19 in an automobile accident. As a result of the tragedy, Luce explored psychotherapy and religion She was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1946. She became an ardent essayist and lecturer in celebration of her faith, and she was ultimately honored by being named a Dame of Malta. As a memorial to her daughter, beginning in 1949 she funded the construction of a Catholic church in Palo Alto for use by the Stanford campus ministry.

Ann Clare returned to politics during the 1952 presidential election and she campaigned on behalf of Republican candidate Dwight Eisenhower. For her contributions Luce was rewarded with an appointment as Ambassador to Italy, a post that oversaw 1150 employees, 8 consulates, and 9 information centers. She was no stranger to Pope Pius XII, who welcomed her as a friend and faithful acolyte. Her principal achievement as ambassador was to play a vital role in negotiating a peaceful solution to the Trieste Crisis of 1953–1954.

Their marriage was sexually open. Clare Luce's lovers included Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, Randolph Churchill, General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr. and General Charles Willoughby.

The Luces stayed together until Henry's death from a heart attack in 1967. As one of the great "power couples" in American history, they were bonded by their mutual interests and complementary, if contrasting, characters. They treated each other with unfailing respect in public, never more so than when he willingly acted as his wife's consort during her years as Ambassador to Italy. Ann Clare was never able to convert Henry to Catholicism (he was the son of a Presbyterian missionary) but he did not question the sincerity of her faith, often attended Mass with her, and defended her when she was criticized by his fellow Protestants.

In the early years of her widowhood, she retired to the luxurious beach house that she and her husband had planned in Honolulu, but boredom with life in what she called "this fur-lined rut" brought her back to Washington, D.C. for increasingly long periods. She made her final home there in 1983.
