The '''Animus''' was an alien intelligence from an unknown planet which landed on the planet ]. It could take over any living creature which had come into contact with gold and had already taken control of the ]-like ] when ] and his companions arrived on Vortis in the serial '']''. |
|

At the end of the story, the Animus's true form was revealed, as resembling an ] with some ] features.

After that, it is assumed that natives of Vortis managed to resolve their differences peacefully. |

The Animus has returned or been mentioned in several ] stories.

The ] encountered the '''Lady Cassandra O'Brien Dot Delta Seventeen''' in the episode '']''. They, along with the rich and powerful of the universe, were on ''Platform One'', a space station orbiting ] five billion years in the future, set up to witness the final destruction of the planet by the expansion of the ]. The character was a purely ] creation, and was voiced by the actress ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
According to her, Cassandra's parents were the last to be buried "in its soil". She had been born a boy on Earth and lived on the edge of the ] Crevasse. Married several times, her life had been extended through a series of 708 ], until she was nothing but a piece of skin stretched onto a frame, with eyes and a mouth, connected to a brain in a jar below. The skin had to be constantly moisturised to keep it from drying out. As the rest of the human race had long since left Earth and had interbred with other species, Cassandra considered herself the last "pure" human, and the others as mongrels. |
|
|
|
|
|
Cassandra used ]-like robots to sabotage ''Platform One'''s computer systems and the android Adherents of the Repeated Meme to direct attention away from herself. Her original intent was to create the appearance of a hostage situation and collect the ransom and insurance money to fund further surgical procedures. When that was exposed by the Doctor, she ] off the station, leaving the others to die — eliminating both the evidence and allowing a hostile takeover of the guests' financial holdings. |
|
|
|
|
|
However the Doctor reset ''Platform One'''s systems, saving the station, and also reversed the teleportation feed, bringing Cassandra back. In the heat, without her assistants to moisturise her, Cassandra's skin stretched and exploded, apparently killing her (although her brain was not seen to be destroyed). |
|
|
|
|
|
According to '']'' #361, Cassandra will return in the first episode of the ] series of ''Doctor Who'' (tentatively entitled '']''), once again portrayed by Wanamaker. It is not yet known whether this means Cassandra survived her apparent death, or if ''New Earth'' is set before ''The End of the World''. |

'''The Editor''' was the mysterious manager of the space station Satellite 5, an orbital news station around ] broadcasting across the whole of the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire of the year 200,000. The character was played by ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Little is known about the Editor, except that he managed the operations of Satellite 5 from Floor 500, unseen and unknown to the rank-and-file journalists who packaged and broadcast the news over six hundred channels. He also monitored the thoughts of all those connected to the archives of the station via chips implanted into people's heads, which were required to access the computer systems of the 2001st century. Through these implants, the Editor was able to instantly know whatever the person connected knew, and was even able to sense when a record was fictional or not, or that there was something out of place with a particular individual before a security check confirmed it. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Editor was a smooth and sinister individual in the mould of an ], but was not the true controller of the station. He reported to the monstrous slug-like ] known as the ]. The Editor claimed that he represented a consortium of interstellar banks whose intent was to subtly control the Empire by means of manipulating the news. In the ninety years since Satellite 5 had been established, the social, economic and technological development of the human race had been retarded, making them inward looking and xenophobic. When the ] investigated this, he and ] were captured by the Editor. |
|
|
|
|
|
Initially, the Editor was both intrigued and frustrated at the fact that records of their existence did not seem to exist in the archives. However, because the Doctor's new companion ] had accessed the archives of the Satellite, the Editor acquired the knowledge that the Doctor was a ] and had a ] capable of time travel. |
|
|
|
|
|
Before he could gain the Doctor's secrets or claim the TARDIS, however, a human journalist named Cathica (who had been following the Doctor's investigation) reversed the environmental controls of Floor 500 that had been kept at an icy temperature vital for keeping the Jagrafess alive. Overheating, the Jagrafess exploded, apparently taking the Editor with him. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the episode '']'', taking place on Satellite 5 a century after ''The Long Game'', it was revealed that the Badwolf Corporation was behind the Jagrafess, and that his masters were the ]s. |

'''Fenric''' was a being described by the ] as "evil from the dawn of time," a malevolent force that survived the clash of energies present at the birth of the universe. In an untelevised adventure, the Doctor had encountered Fenric and defeated him by challenging him to solve a ] puzzle. When Fenric proved unable to solve it, the Doctor then trapped the being in a flask for where he remained for several thousand years. |
|
|
|
|
|
However, Fenric was still able to manipulate human minds and events through time and space. He set up pawns, bloodlines of families that were under his control and he could use, "The Curse of Fenric" stretching down through generations. These people were known as the "Wolves of Fenric", and their true purpose was unknown even to them. He also had the power to summon ], ] which were to be the evolutionary destiny of mankind in a possible far future. The haemovores were strong enough to be able to weld metal with their bare hands, and were also immune to bullets. They could be countered, however, with a psychic barrier caused by faith. |
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually, the flask was brought to a ] base in ] in ], where several Wolves, including the Doctor's companion ], were manipulated into freeing Fenric from his flask. He also summoned the Ancient One, the last of the Haemovores from the future, in an attempt to poison the world with a deadly chemical toxin. Fenric then revealed that he had manipulated the Seventh Doctor's life upon several occasions as part of his game, such as creating the time storm that originally ]. Eventually, the Doctor convinced the Ancient One to turn on Fenric; the Ancient One then destroyed Fenric and himself with the same toxin. |
|
|
|
|
|
In ], Fenric is another name for ], the monstrous ] that will devour ] during ]. The ] novel ''All Consuming Fire'' by ] also equates Fenric with the ] entity ] the Unspeakable. As with all spin-off media, the ] of this is unclear. |

|
|

While searching for the fourth segment of the Key, ] discovered that it was disguised as the head of a statue representing the family crest of Grendel's family. After Romana transformed it into its actual crystalline form, the segment was confiscated by Grendel. Grendel did not know of the segment's true nature; his real intent was to use Romana (who resembled the Princess Strella) in a complex plot to seize the throne of Tara from Prince Reynart. |

His plans were ultimately defeated by the ]. Although Grendel was considered the finest swordsman on Tara, the Doctor managed to duel him to a standstill, and he made his escape by leaping into the moat of Castle Gracht and swimming away. |

A cultured and charming villain, Gracht used his breeding to cover a ruthless and cunning personality.

The '''Jagrafess''', or, to give its full title, '''The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe''' was a gigantic, gelatinous creature similar to a slug in shape. Its origins or home planet (or even the name of its species) are not known, but it was sentient and able to communicate in a series of growls. It had a life span of about 3000 years, with sharp, vicious teeth and several vestigial eyes. Its metabolic rate, however, meant that it had to be kept at low temperatures to survive. Its first and only appearance to date was in the episode '']''. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Jagrafess was the supervisor of the mysterious and sinister ] on board Satellite 5, a space station that broadcast news across the whole of the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire of the year 200,000. The Editor (who called the Jagrafess "Max" for short) claimed that the Jagrafess had been placed with Satellite 5 some ninety years before by a consortium of interstellar banks. The intent was to use the news broadcasts to subtly manipulate the Empire, retarding its social, economic and technological growth and turning it more inward looking and xenophobic. Control was enhanced by the use of computer chips in every human that allowed the users to access the computer systems of the 2001st century, but at the same time allowed the Jagrafess and its cohorts to monitor people's thoughts. In this way, the human race was reduced to slavery without them even realising it. |
|
|
|
|
|
The environmental systems of Satellite 5 had been configured to vent all heat away from Floor 500, keeping it cold enough for the Jagrafess to survive, attached to the ceiling of the main control room. When the ], ] and ] arrived on board, the ] recognised that human development had been deliberately obstructed and began to investigate. Ultimately captured by the Editor and about to be killed by the Jagrafess, the Doctor and Rose were saved by the actions of Cathica, a human journalist, who reversed the environmental systems. The Jagrafess overheated, bloated up and exploded, apparently ending its threat and the scheme to hold back the human race. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the episode '']'', taking place on Satellite 5 a century after ''The Long Game'', it was revealed that the Badwolf Corporation was behind the Jagrafess, and that its masters were the ]s. |

'''Sharaz Jek''' was a partner of businessman Morgus. Together they planned to harvest the rare Spectrox drug on the planet Androzani Minor using androids built by Jek. Morgus, however, supplied Jek with substandard equipment and Jek was caught in a mud burst on Minor leaving him hideously disfigured. Jek thereafter bore a pathological hatred for Morgus. |
|
|
|
|
|
When the Doctor and Peri landed on Androzani Minor, they soon became entangled in a three way struggle between Jek's androids, drug runners and Androzani Major troops. Jek found Peri beautiful and coveted her strongly. When the Doctor and Peri were to be executed by the Major troops, Jek replaced them with realistic androids. |

When Morgus and the leader of the of the drug runners, Stotz, arrived at Jek's base, Jek attacked Morgus and killed him, but was himself shot by Stotz. |

The '''Master of the Land of Fiction''' was a human writer from the year ] who was drawn to the Land of Fiction and forced to continuously write stories which were enacted within that realm. The Master's name was never revealed, but he did identify himself as the writer of "The Adventures of Captain Jack Harkaway" in ''The Ensign'', a magazine for boys. He was freed by the Doctor, and returned to his own time. |
|

His creations included ]es, ]s, a ] type children's group and a version of the Doctor called "Dr. Who", based on the '']'' comic strip portrayal, complete with his grandchildren ]. Jason also appeared in ''Head Games'' (also by Lyons), where he became "Dr. Who"'s companion in the real world for a while before the ] set things right. |

|
|
|
|
|
The Doctor found Morbius in Solon's castle. A ]'s monster body from the bits of dead aliens was what Solon wanted to use for Morbius. Solon drugged the Doctor, intending to use his head for Morbius's brain, but insisted that it would be no cruel butchery. |
|

|
|
|
] foiled his plans. Solon had a Plan B for the head of Morbius - a goldfish bowl head with two eyestalks. This time round, the plan worked. |
|

Morbius fought the Doctor in a series of violent encounters. Their final confrontation was a battle of the brains. It left them damaged. What was known as the Sisterhood wanted rid of Morbius. He died after a fall from a cliff. |

'''The Shadow''' was a servant of the ], and at least partially responsible for a war between the planets Atrios and Zeos. The extent of the Shadow's involvement with starting the war was unstated, but when the Zeons eventually abandoned their planet rather than continue the war, he had a ] named Drax build a computer named Mentalis which would co-ordinate the remaining Zeon forces. Once Drax completed work on Mentalis he realised just who he was working for, but was imprisoned by the Shadow so as not to disrupt his plan. The Shadow then waited on a space station in orbit of Zeos (invisible to either the Atrians or Mentalis) and waited for the Doctor to arrive. In the meantime, Mentalis was more successful in fighting the war than the Zeons and pushed the Atrians to the brink of defeat. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Shadow knew that the royal family of Atrios held the secret of the sixth segment of the ], and when the ] arrived he arranged for the Doctor and the last survivor of the family, Princess Astra to be kidnapped. With this done, the Shadow ordered Mentalis to cease its attacks and duped Atrios' military leader, the Marshall, into making a nuclear attack on Zeos — the result of which would have been that Mentalis would set off an explosion powerful enough to destroy both planets. |
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually the Shadow worked out that Astra herself was the sixth segment, and transformed her into the segment. Before he could attach it to the other five (which he had stolen from the Doctor), the Doctor stole the segments back and with Drax's aid dismantled Mentalis. Finally, using the ], the Doctor set up a force field which diverted the Marshall's missiles into the Shadow's space station, destroying it. The Shadow perished in the explosion, but not before informing the Black Guardian of what had happened. |

'''Henry van Statten''' was an ] billionaire from the year ]. His first and only appearance to date was in the episode '']''. |
|
|
|
|
|
Van Statten was a man who wielded enormous wealth and influence, apparently enough even to sway the course of ] elections. Intelligent, arrogant and self-assured, he treated his employees like chattel, to the point of mindwiping them when they left his employ so they could not betray his secrets. His personal helicopter had the ] "Bad Wolf One" and his corporation was called Geocomtex. |
|
|
|
|
|
Van Statten had been collecting ] artefacts on the ] for several years, buying bits and pieces of alien technology at auctions and then reverse engineering them to create "new" technologies which he would then exploit commercially. He claimed to "own" the ], and said that ] was derived from technology scavenged from the ]. He kept these artefacts in a private collection, inside a bunker called the Vault, fifty feet below ground in ] near ]. |

Van Statten had acquired the Dalek at an auction some time before and had been torturing it to try and get it to speak, but it had refused to do so until it recognised the Doctor as the mortal enemy of its race. |
|
|
|
|
|
Despite the Doctor's warnings to destroy it, Van Statten captured the Doctor instead, to examine his ]. The Dalek managed to regenerate itself by absorbing the ] of the time travelling Rose and escaped, killing two hundred personnel before it eventually self-destructed. Van Statten's personal assistant, Diana Goddard, took charge at this point and ordered that Van Statten be taken away, mindwiped and dumped on the streets, "somewhere beginning with an 'S'." When last seen, Van Statten was being escorted away by his own guards to his fate. The website of Van Statten's company can be seen at |

The '''War Chief''' was a renegade ] who assisted an alien race known as the War Lords in the 1969 serial '']''. He was played by ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
The War Lords had been kidnapping soldiers from various wars in Earth's history to play war games on an unknown planet. The War Chief provided the War Lords with ]-like travel machines, which they used to kidnap the human soldiers. |

|
|
When the War Chief and the Doctor came face to face, they recognized each other. The War Chief wanted the Doctor's help to double-cross the War Lords and seize power for himself. The Doctor refused, and instead summoned the Time Lords for help. The War Lords found out the War Chief's plans, and executed him. |

Although the War Chief was apparently killed at the end of ''The War Games'', some fans choose to believe that ] (the Doctor's arch-enemy, introduced in '']'' a couple of years later) is the War Chief in a new guise, due to similarities between the two characters' appearances and '']''. |

The ] (which are of debatable ]) include both a novel featuring the return of the War Chief (''Timewyrm: Exodus'' by ]) and a novel featuring the Master set before ''The War Games'' (''The Dark Path'' by ]), establishing that the two are not the same person. |
