Jon St. Myth

Daktari Jonas Ambaye, more often called Dr. Jon St. Myth, was a non-human adventurer who travelled with Berenice and Dorothea Gale in the Collapsing Universe. (PROSE: Blood Heat Second Iteration)
== Biography ==
His people dedicated themselves to learning what lay beyond the cosmological horizon of the expanding universe. They built great Ships to "bridge infinity", and all of them set out to explore beyond the edge. But the doctor fled the last of these great Ships in a stolen life raft, the Trisected Abutment Reality Disconnect. None of his people ever returned from their trip, and he occupied himself by seeking adventures within the observable universe which would distract him from the ultimate question.
He had memories of thirteen "once and future selves", incarnations which he explained as "ghosts"; they bore symbols including a cat badge, a penny whistle, and a signet ring. According to a data fragment retrieved from cloud storage, the doctor was uncertain if there was a single identity behind these "fun-house mirror" reflections. (PROSE: Blood Heat Second Iteration)

* With the traditional British pronunciation of "St." in personal names, "Jon St. Myth" is pronounced /d͡ʒɒn ˈsɪndmɪθ/, similar to "John Smith", a frequent alias of the Doctor in Doctor Who. Daktari is Swahili for "doctor", and Ambaye is a rough translation of the Swahili pronoun "whom".
* In a Q&A with Josh Wilson of the Oncoming Storm Podcast, author Jim Mortimore described his inspirations in transforming the Seventh Doctor of the original Blood Heat into Jon St. Myth:
