Harley Sawyer, known as The Doctor in Poppy Playtime, is a complex antagonist with a dark history at Playtime Co. Initially part of the Young Geniuses Program, he rose to become Head of Special Projects before his eventual downfall.

During his tenure, Sawyer created the controversial Bigger Bodies Initiative, which involved experimenting on orphans and staff volunteers. His first successful experiment was Boxy-Boo, who later became his personal cleaner and enforcer.

Following these incidents, Leith Pierre ordered Sawyer's transformation into The Doctor - a security system consciousness that could move between mechanical bodies. This was meant as both punishment and containment, limiting him to surveillance and information processing through the Omni-Chip network.

The Doctor's legacy continues through his infamous phrase "get up," which The Prototype now uses to control experiments during The Hour of Joy, showing how his influence persists even after his transformation.
