Churchill

Churchill is a fictional artificial humanoid and a recurring minor character featured on the Syfy television series Defiance. Played by actor Rob Archer, he was introduced in the premiere episode of season two, "The Opposite of Hallelujah". He made five appearances in the series in total.

Churchill was a BioMan and was named after former British prime minister, Winston Churchill. He was employed by provisionary mayor Niles Pottinger and was charged with executing two political dissidents named Josef and Hyatt Mirch by depositing them in the middle of Hellbug-infested territory.

Churchill attended Pottinger, along with Lawkeeper Joshua Nolan, to inspect a piece of arkfall that had crashed some distance from Defiance. While rummaging through the ruins of the ship, they encountered a Gulanee - the sole surviving member of this race who had become part of the Votanis Collective exodus to Earth. The Gulanee tried to destroy the three men, and Churchill intercepted the being in order to protect Pottinger. The Gulanee proved durable enough to withstand Churchill's blows, and generated an electrical discharge directly into Churchill's brain, killing him.
