Unlike his predecessors, the Third Doctor is initially exiled to Earth by the Time Lords and is forced to work with the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (UNIT). He forms a strong partnership with Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart and often confronts extraterrestrial threats that menace Earth.
During his tenure, the Third Doctor is accompanied by companions such as Jo Grant and Sarah Jane Smith. Together, they encounter various adversaries, including the Master and the Autons. The Third Doctor's era is marked by his use of Venusian Aikido, a martial art that emphasizes non-lethal combat.

Equipment: The Third Doctor's primary mode of transportation is the TARDIS, although it remains largely nonfunctional during his Earth-bound exile. He also wields a device known as the Sonic Screwdriver, which he uses for various tasks, from analyzing technology to unlocking doors.
Weaknesses: The Third Doctor's exiled status limits his ability to freely explore time and space, confining him to Earth and its immediate vicinity. His strong-willed nature and impatience with authority figures can sometimes create conflicts and obstacles.
