Rory Williams

Rory Arthur Williams is a fictional character portrayed by Arthur Darvill in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. Introduced in series 5, Rory joins the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) as a companion a few episodes later intermittently, consolidating his place as a full companion in Series 6. As fellow companion Amy Pond's (Karen Gillan) fiancé, Rory is initially insecure because he believes Amy secretly loves the Doctor more. Later, however, he proves to be a hero in his own right and he and Amy get married. The couple conceive a daughter aboard the Doctor's time machine, the TARDIS, while in the time vortex, but their baby is kidnapped at birth. In "A Good Man Goes to War", Rory and Amy discover their time traveller friend River Song (Alex Kingston) is actually their daughter, Melody Pond. The Doctor and River marry in "The Wedding of River Song", and Rory becomes the Doctor's father-in-law. In "The Angels Take Manhattan", the fifth episode of the seventh series, he and Amy are transported back in time by a Weeping Angel, leading to the couple's departure from the series.
