Biography
Greg was considered the best oil drilling technician in the world, according to Sir Keith Gold. Prior to being brought onto the Inferno Project, he was on an oil drilling mission in Kuwait, he claimed that they were about to make a breakthrough and he almost had a 'respectable tan', but was rushed to England at Gold's request.
Greg was one of the biggest objectors to Stahlman's actions and callous nature, constantly pleading with him to see sense and near the end of the project just wanted to get away before it was too late, claiming the director and his staff could 'blow themselves to kingdom come'. He also seemed hesitant to be working for the British government, as when he was asked by Gold what it was like, he responded frostily with 'no comment', mirroring his parallel universe's anti-fascist views.
Greg seemed to get on well with the Third Doctor, seeing him as the only one who made any sense in the project and backed up his attempts to slow down or stop the project, and also joined the Doctor in fighting off the now mutated Dr Stahlman just before penetration of the Earth's crust was reached.
Following the shutdown of the Inferno Project, Greg and Stahlman's former assistant Petra Williams became lovers, and were planning to leave Great Britain in February 1970.
He was interviewed by James Stevens of the Daily Chronicle, having claimed to Petra beforehand "We don't pay much attention to Pommie D-notices where I come from" and Stevens probably wouldn't believe a word of the story anyway. This turned out to be the case, as Stevens dismissed Sutton's outlandish claims that a green slime from the centre of the Earth transformed scientists into wolf monsters — describing it as sounding like the plot of a "science fiction potboiler".

By 1973, Greg had become friends with the First Doctor's former companion Ian Chesterton. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
