Rory Williams
Rory Williams is a
fictional
character portrayed by
Arthur Darvill in the long-running British
science fiction television series ''
Doctor Who''. Having been introduced in 2010, at the start of
Series 5, Rory joins the
Eleventh Doctor (
Matt Smith) as a
companion a few episodes later. 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.
