*We will be extending the deadline for auditions for the role of Nikola Tesla.
Time Traveller. Energetic and a guardian of Earth history. Always willing to see the best in people. Takes a short trip alone and reunites with famed inventor, Nikola Tesla. Whom she affectionately nicknames ‘Nik’, ‘Nikki’.
Originally played by Jodie Whittaker.
Ah... Nineteen forty-three, the last year of Nikola Tesla’s life and he’s spending it feeding the pigeons. What a man!
There’s so much to process... Russians, Nazis. Both wanting one thing: Tesla’s work. That’s the thing though...Tesla is a prime humanitarian, a pacifist after my own hearts! What is he doing working with these two? He wouldn’t get involved in the war! Unless...
You just want to take his work for yourselves. There’s no investigation here! You were at the New Yorker when I went to visit Tesla. You also must’ve been following, coz how did you find me at the docklands?
(86, American/Croatian.) An old friend of the Doctor and in the final year of his life. A kind man made bitter by circumstances. He fears being forgotten, pushing him to an almost irredeemable act. He seeks to answer the hardest question: Is it better to die in infamy than to have lived in obscurity?
Tell me Doctor. Is it better to die in infamy than to have lived in obscurity? The men... I trusted have buried my legacy.
I have no solidarity with a man that chooses war over peace. You’ve forced me to dig up my buried past. I’m an old man, my dreams of stopping the war are just that, dreams. You don’t want to stop it. You revel in the subjugation, the destruction!
I’m sorry Doctor. I let my pride get in the way of what’s right. I just wanted to prove that my aged mind was worth something. It was on a beach like this where I made my most important discovery, so long ago...
(Mid-late 30’s New York American.) A duty bound FBI agent tasked with following Nikola Tesla and retrieving his research. Reluctantly teams up with the Doctor. Only to stop Tesla’s research from falling into the ‘wrong hands’ and into his government’s instead.
Doctor, you have to come with me. I’m Agent Foxworth, Office of Alien Property, FBI...
I don’t care if we’re on the same side... When this is over there will be a bigger fight. The likes of which we won’t comprehend. Especially in your lifetime.
She’ll come here soon and stop this whole thing. It’s a shame cause as an American, there would be nothing I want more than to turn this weapon on you and end the war... Save my brother.
(Late 30’s Russian.) A dedicated member of the KGB, sent to New York to secure Tesla’s research for Russia. Not afraid to get violent for results. He’s smarter than he looks and seeks opportunities when he can.
Ah, but she’s no ‘Lady’. This is ‘The Doctor’. A fable among men, women, and children. I did some research into our operations history. A foreign agent known as ‘The Doctor’ has interfered on numerous occasions.
Your name is a stain on the history of our world. Rest assured, if it is future knowledge as you claim it is... Then I will ensure it is changed when I return to the Motherland.
We gave you funding and materials. Those funds are hard to come by especially in these troubled times...
(Early 40’s German.) A cold, calculating leader. He seeks to intercept the Russians and Americans from getting Tesla’s research. A man with a tragic past that has warped his body and mind. He finds kinship with Tesla, understanding that both have been similarly used and abandoned by their leaders…
I’m not just a ‘Nazi’. I had talents in the pursuit of science. It’s what cost me my limbs. We were experimenting with explosive capabilities in the Great War. I introduced an experimental chemical element... The resulting explosion killed all of my team. I was left alive; my limbs were as good as dead.
Doctor... Show yourself. We knew you would come. It’s just me and Tesla here. I have an ultimatum to propose...
Doctor, you are a fool. If you truly knew your ‘friend’ you would know that he’s a creator as much as he is a thinker...
