Rory Williams is a character from the British science fiction TV show Doctor Who. Arthur Darvill played him. Rory first appeared in the fifth series of the show. He became a companion to the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) during Series 5.

Rory started as Amy Pond's fiancé. At first, he felt a bit unsure about the Doctor. He thought Amy might like the Doctor more than him. But Rory later showed he was a true hero. Amy realized she loved him very much, and they got married. Their baby, Melody Pond, was born while they were traveling in the TARDIS. Their baby was kidnapped after she was born. Rory and Amy later found out their daughter was River Song. They became related to the Doctor when he married River in "The Wedding of River Song".

Rory Williams' Adventures

Early Life and Friendship

Rory Williams grew up with Amelia "Amy" Pond in a village called Leadworth. They were close friends since they were children. Their friend Mels was also part of their group. Mels secretly knew she was their future daughter, Melody. This is why Melody was named after her!

Amy and Rory often played dress-up. Amy would make Rory pretend to be her "imaginary friend," the "Raggedy Doctor." Amy used to think of herself as "counting as a boy." Rory was too shy to tell her he liked her. Amy never thought Rory was in love with her. She even thought he might be gay because he never showed interest in other girls. A few years before the Doctor returned, Mels told Rory and Amy they liked each other. This started their relationship and led to Mels (Melody) being born.

Joining the Doctor (Series 5)

Rory first appeared in "The Eleventh Hour" (2010). He was Amy's boyfriend. In 2008, he worked as a nurse at the local hospital. He was curious about coma patients in the village. He was surprised to meet Amy's "imaginary" "Raggedy Doctor." This was the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith). Rory knew it was the Doctor without being told.

Rory and Amy decided to get married two years later. The Doctor returned the night before their wedding. Amy traveled with him, but only after he promised to bring her back before morning. The Doctor took them to 1580s Venice to help their relationship. Rory often felt annoyed by the Doctor because of Amy's interest in him. This feeling got worse when the Doctor told Rory that Amy had kissed him. When Rory suggested they go back home, Amy asked him to travel with them. The Doctor agreed, and Rory accepted.

In the episode "Amy's Choice", they had a shared dream. In this dream, they were married, and Amy was pregnant. As Rory was about to die, he told Amy to take care of their baby. This made Amy realize how much she loved him. Rory traveled with the Doctor and Amy until "Cold Blood". In that episode, he was shot and died while saving the Doctor. He was then removed from time by a crack in time and space. Because he was removed from existence, Amy no longer remembered him.

Rory appeared again in "The Pandorica Opens". He was a Roman soldier in AD 102. It turned out he was not the real Rory. He was a plastic copy with Rory's memories. He tried to fight his programming, but still shot Amy. In the last episode of Series 5, "The Big Bang", the fake Rory freed the Doctor. He then put Amy inside the Pandorica. The Pandorica was a prison built to keep someone safe and healthy forever.

The fake Rory guarded the Pandorica (and Amy) for 1,894 years. He became known as the "Last Centurion." He moved the Pandorica to safety when its warehouse in London was destroyed during The Blitz. Finally, he helped a young Amy open the Pandorica. This freed the adult Amy, who was fully healed. The Auton Rory helped the Doctor, Amy, and River Song (Alex Kingston) save the universe.

After the cracks in time were fixed, Rory returned to his own timeline. Everyone's memories came back, and he and Amy got married. At their wedding reception, the Doctor called Rory "Mr. Pond." Rory didn't like it at first but accepted it. The Doctor left Rory and Amy for their honeymoon.

Full-Time Companion (Series 6)

In Series 6, Rory became a full-time companion. After the Doctor saved their cruise ship from crashing during their honeymoon, Rory and Amy joined him in the TARDIS again. After some time traveling, Rory and Amy returned to Leadworth for two months.

Rory and the Doctor became friends. But Rory still worried that Amy might love the Doctor more than him. In "Day of the Moon", he thought Amy's comments were about the Doctor. He later learned they were about him. He also worried when Amy told the Doctor she hadn't told Rory she thought she was pregnant. He understood when he learned she was worried about the baby because of traveling in the TARDIS.

Before "The Rebel Flesh", the Doctor found out that the Amy with them was not the real Amy. She was a "Flesh" avatar. The real Amy had been kidnapped. At the end of "The Almost People", Rory didn't know it wasn't the real Amy. When the Doctor told him to move away from Amy, Rory trusted the Doctor. Rory let the Doctor destroy the false Amy. Just then, the real Amy began to give birth.

Amy gave birth to their daughter, Melody Pond, between "The Almost People" and "A Good Man Goes To War". The baby was kidnapped and replaced by a Flesh copy. Rory and the Doctor fought to get to them. Rory showed great courage against a group of Cybermen. He destroyed their fleet with the Doctor's help. Rory's memories of being a centurion in the alternate timeline helped him fight the Headless Monks. After the battle, Rory helped a dying Sontaran nurse. The Sontaran said Rory was both a warrior and a nurse. At the end of the episode, River Song appeared. It was revealed she was Amy and Rory's daughter. In the alien language of the people who raised her, "Melody" and "Pond" translated to "River" and "Song". In "Let's Kill Hitler", Rory and Amy learned that their childhood friend Mels was also Melody. They also saw her regenerate into River Song.

As they traveled, Rory saw how dangerous it could be on the TARDIS. He told the Doctor he didn't want to travel anymore if they were always in danger.

In "The God Complex", Rory was the only person on the TARDIS not hunted by a creature that fed on faith. The Doctor thought this was because Rory had no faith of his own. Rory also said that after traveling in the TARDIS, he was afraid of very few things. The Doctor saw the danger he was putting his friends in. He took Amy and Rory back to Earth. He gave them a house and a car as a gift.

When River created an alternate reality by not killing the Doctor, Rory became "Captain Williams." He was a soldier working for Amy Pond. They were not a couple in this version of history, but Rory still loved Amy. He almost died fighting the Silence but was saved by Amy. They were both at River's marriage to the Doctor. In the main timeline, Rory and Amy were still married. Amy became a model for a perfume. Their daughter River visited them and told them the Doctor was still alive.
