Jake Simmonds (Doctor Who Series Two)
(Bracketed has been extracted from deleted scene... if you don't treat it as actually being part of the universe as it wasn't officially shown in episode, sorry for adding it in).
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Two Episode Six: "Rise of the Cybermen"
Played By: Andrew Hayden-Smith
A young member of the Preachers born on a Parallel Earth, Jake Simmonds joined the resistance team to fight Cybus Industries after discovering the true intentions of the corporation.
(At some point prior to the Doctor's arrival to the Parallel Earth he began a relationship with the Preachers leader, Ricky Smith).
"Rise of the Cybermen"
Jake watched from behind a burning barrel as a "International Electricomtics" van arrives in a tip and Mr. Crane tells several homeless people that it is full of free food and drink. When the last one makes his way to the van, he comes out from his hiding place and warns him not to go as they "are lying." However the homeless man comments that "it is easy for you to say" and questions when he last starved. He ignores his comment and tells him that these people are responsible for the "disappearance of people on the streets" for several months and that they are a going to take him away. When the homeless man asks him what for, Jake replies that they were going to experiment on him. However the homeless guy says that he is too hungry and goes off in the direction of the van. He starts filming Crane and the van as the men scream from inside and the doors close after them.
While Micky visits the Parallel version of his grandmother Rita-Anne, Jake grabs him and throws him into the back of the Preacher's van mistaking him for Ricky. He questions why "he" had gone to see her when he had told them not to keep contact with closest family and friends for their own safety. Confused, Micky pretends to be Ricky saying he was testing them and Jake proudly says that he filmed Cybus as they "went round Blackfriars gathering up the homeless like the child catcher." He goes on to say that four dozen people had gone missing now and Mrs. Moore finishes with the fact that they were all taken by lorries hired by "International Electricomatics." Both Jake and Mrs. Moore seem surprised that "Ricky" isn't aware that Cybus Industries were responsible for it setting up as a fake company.
Upon arrival at the Preacher's base, Jake spots that someone is inside and has the light on and warns Mrs. Moore. All three cross into the building and Jake enters the room with the light on, pointing it at the real Ricky who is just as surprised to find his (lover) pointing a gun at him as his (lover) is to discover that there is two of him and has one standing in front of him and one behind him. Both Jake and Mrs. Moore turn their weapons on Mickey.
Jake scans Mickey's body while Mrs. Moore analysis the data and confirms that he is "clean" and has "no bugs." Ricky is shocked and questions how it was possible to get an exact copy of himself. When Ricky suggests that Mickey could be his brother, Jake tells him to "be fair" and wonders "what else it could be." Ricky concludes that they are identical and tells them that there is something else is happening as well as at Cybus. Jake gives a small smile when Mickey questions if the Preachers were going to take down John Lumic "from your kitchen."
After receiving word from "Gemini", Jake and the other Preachers pack up and follow the number of "International Electromatics" vans in their own and set up weapons in the back while Ricky drives.
Ricky and Jake survey the trucks as they reach the Tyler Household and begin unloading the vans, He is horrified to see the Cybermen disembark and march forward.
Upon the Cybermen's attack on the party and the Doctor's escape from the mansion- with Pete Tyler and Rose- Jake and Ricky try and shoot the Cybermen with AK-47's and are surrounded when the bullets do nothing to slow them down or harm them. The Doctor tells them to stop shooting, but Jake ignores this and fires a few more rounds before the Doctor knocks the weapon down and orders them all to "surrender." He looks horrified as the Cybermen declares their plans to upgrade all of humanity.
"The Age of Steel"
As the Cybermen advance, the Doctor uses the Tardis power cell to disintegrate them. Slightly taken aback he begins to run before Mrs. Moore arrives in the van and orders them all inside- getting in the front with Ricky.
Jake argues the fact that they don't have weapons by angrily declaring that they are "good enough for me like him", referring to Pete Tyler and blaming him for the death of the President and the rest of "the government." Upon the mention of "Gemini" and confirmation of the channel used to contact the Preachers, Jake looks to Ricky totally confused. Jake smiles when Ricky tells them the title of London's most wanted was for "parking tickets", enjoying his attempt to justify it by wanting to tear the system apart.
He is shocked when Lumic uses the Ear Pods to control the whole of London to head towards Battersea Power Station, where he has made the Cyberman's main Cyber Conversion Factory for the city. Jake and Ricky go on ahead and spot the Cybermen leading more people away. When a Cyberman patrol arrives down the far end of the street, Ricky orders Jake to act a distraction to allow the others to escape and meet up after at "Bridge Street."
Reaching the rendezvous, Jake reports that he has seen more people all heading for and entering the factory and that there are "hundreds of Cybermen all down the Thames." He gets excited by arrival by one of the Smith twins, but suddenly changes to panic as he questions which "one are you." Upon learning of his (lovers) death, he turns his back on Mickey telling him to "shut it" when he tried to explain what happened and declared that he was "nothing." Seeing his reaction, the Doctor tells him that he can morn Ricky later but they need to save London first.
Planning what to do next on the shore opposite the Power Plant, Jake stands away from the main group watching them. When Pete suggests using the front door, he argues that they "can't just go strolling up" and seems fascinated by Mrs. Moore's fake ear pods (originally real with the signal removed). The Doctor pulls him aside and tasks him to destroying the transmitter for the ear pods built into Lumic's zeppelin, which Jake comments that he should "consider it done" and smiles for the first time since Ricky's death. When Mickey says he is going with Jake to help, the latter aggressively calls him an "idiot" and claims he doesn't need his help. Standing up for himself, Mickey tells him that he "only wants to help" and Jake storms off with a dismissive "whatever."
Climbing to the roof, he is pretty happy to see the zeppelin is guarded. He motions for Mickey to follow and tells them that they can "take them." When Mickey tells him not to kill them, he angrily snaps "who put you in charge." Listening to his response about killing would put him on the same level as a Cybermen, Jake offers to use Mrs. Moore's version of smelling salts and gives them a countdown window to complete the task. Taking them out, he grins at the idea of more guards and jokingly says that they should "go get them," boarding the airship.
Aboard the ship, the two squabble over finding the "transmitter controls", with Jake sarcastically suggesting that they have a big sign in "red letters" signposting them. Reaching the front of the airship, Jake turns a gun on an offline Cyberman mistaking it for an active one which made Mickey jump. He is very uneasy with the declaration that it was an empty suit, but states that they needed to continue and find the "transmitter." Finding it in a protected case, Jake sarcastically tells Mickey that he left his "oxy-acetylene" and suggests that they could crash the zeppelin by setting it to auto-pilot and escaping before it could be destroyed. Trying to hack into the control system on the main computer, Mickey tells Jake to let him have a go and watches as he begins working. He comments that Mickey was doing a decent job, but is suddenly distracted by the Cyberman who has been reactivated. He complains that Mickey had diagnosed it as being dead and is about to shoot at it until Mickey tells him not to- causing the Cyberman to destroy both itself and the ear pod transmitter. They jump up and down and excitedly hug each other.
Hacking into "Cybercontrol", Jake asks in both shock and disgust what the Cybercontroller was and addresses him as a "thing." He watches as Mickey uses the Doctor's words to get past all the codes and locate the cancellation code for the emotional inhibitors, celebrating as the Doctor uses it and Rose's phone to trigger a city wide shut down that drove the Cybermen insane.
He tries to pilot the zeppelin and get it away from the power station as it goes up in flames, telling Mickey that the whole "balloon" will go up in flames as well. However Mickey persuades him to stop and help the Doctor and the others, getting into a slight shoving match until Jake eventually backed down and let him have control. He orders him to hold his mobile close to his ear and allow Mickey to call Rose to get them to escape via the roof. Jake warns him not to go any lower as he would crush them, but finds it hard not to enjoy the mission.
After the defeat of the Cybercontroller, Jake joins Mickey in returning the Doctor's suit, who reveals Mrs. Moore's true name as Angela Price and asks that she find her husband and children and tell them that she died a hero. He agrees to and stands by as Mickey says goodbye to both Rose and the Doctor, choosing to stay on the Parallel Earth. He is amazed and astounded by the Tardias as it disappears.
Getting back in the van, Mickey comments that he knows it will be difficult for Jake with his face being identical to Ricky's he has no intention of replacing him. (Jake comments that he could never do that and that he would never "have another boyfriend like him." Mickey expresses his surprise and jokes that he is "defiantly not replacing him") but states that they will fight in his name and the name of Mrs. Moore, which makes Jake smile. Mickey wonders whether there is a cyberfactory in Paris, stating that they will "go liberate Paris." Jake states his amusement at the prospect that it would be "you and me in a van." Mickey states that their was "nothing wrong with a van. I once saved the Universe with a big yellow truck."
"Doomsday"
Using specially developed teleportation devices capable of crossing dimensions, Jake and a team of soldiers from the Parallel World crossed into Earth, arriving on the top floor of the Torchwood One building in Canary Warth. He orders his troops not to move and fire at the Cybermen, who have little time to react before they are destroyed. He tells the Doctor it was "good to see him again" removing his gas mask and surprising the latter. He orders the soldiers to lock down the room and puts a fellow officer, Chrissie to monitor all communications and warns them about the constant upgrade of Cyberleader is the previous is killed. The Doctor confronts him about the fact it was not possible to travel between parallel universes, but Jake explains that Torchwood on their world had developed the technology they were currently using and asks if he wanted to see and presses his own sending them back to his world's version of Torchwood One.
During Pete Tyler's explanation of the past three years, Jake comments that people objected to Cybermen being sealed within the factories as many still saw them as living beings and that they should be helped, which had given the Cybermen time to escape and cross the void into Earth. Jake follows him across the room, acting as an unfortunate dummy for the Doctor's constant tapping of the teleport disc and explaining how the power caused by this transportation is causing the world to "boil." He listens as the Doctor questions if Pete really thought he could "seal of the breach, stop th Cybermen and defeat the Dalaks" and is teleported back with the other two as the Doctor agrees he will do it.
Upon their return, Jake orders his men to guard the door while the Doctor called Jackie, After hanging up, the Doctor takes Jake's gun and alters it in order that it can work on "poly-carbide", answering Jake's question of what "poly-carbide" was the fact it was Dalek-skin.
Jake leads an attack with several officers and Cybermen (who they have somehow reprogrammed) in a fight against the Dalek's in the Sphere Room, manaing to rescue Mickey and Rose before getting out alive. As the door closes, the Doctor orders him to "protect the stairwell."
Surviving and fighting his way to the top floor, Jake watches as the Genesis Ark releases millions of Daleks over the streets of London. He listens to the Doctor as he reveals his plan to seal the breach via pulling the Daleks and Cybermen to a Hell-like place. Taking it to be a literal Hell, Mickey makes a side note to Jake about always telling him that the Doctor was "good."
He is transported away when the Doctor puts a disc on Rose, but watches as she transports back, forced to watch the backlash between Jackie and Pete when Rose makes her way back to the original Earth.
Harriet Jones (Doctor Who Series Four)
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series One Episode Four: "Aliens of London"
Played By: Penelope Wilton
Formally a back bench British Politician for the Constituency of Flydale North, Harriet Jones later became Prime Minister after she helped the Doctor and Rose uncover and stop a Slitheen plot within Downing Street.
Her term in office was ended by the Doctor's strategic whispering of the six words- "don't you think she looks tired"- after she had ordered the Torchwood Institute to shoot down the Sycorax spaceship as it was leaving on Christmas Day.
Since then she continued with her goal in saving the world from the shadows, developing technology such as the Subwave Network which was created by the Mr. Copper Foundation.
"The Stolen Earth"
After deciding that the time was right and the Earth looked like it had no hope left, Harriet Jones contacted Torchwood, Sarah Jane Smith (via Mr. Smith), Rose Tyler- although unable to hear her without webcam at the Noble Household- and Martha Jones at her mother's house.
She calls out to those she contacted, asking if anyone could hear her as the signal began transmitting. She continues trying to reach out calling this message "the utmost importance", which Captain Jack ignores as just being someone else from the "world crying out". However she berates him and orders him to "stand to attention." Getting his attention, he asks who was speaking and the introduces herself with the fact that she was "former Prime Minister" and flashes her passport- although he tells her he "knows who you are."
Rose tries to speak to Harriet, but is unable to and watches as Sarah Jane replies. Harriet uses the sub-wave to allow those connected so far to contact each other. She comments that the "fourth contact seems to be having trouble getting through" boosting the signal so that Martha joins the conversation (again introducing herself) and said it seemed an appropriate time, introducing Sarah Jane to the Torchwood team. She has to tell Jack to stop flirting as he comments that Sarah Jane is "looking good." She then goes onto introduce Martha Jones to Sarah Jane, before going on to explain that due to the "sentient software" being programmed to seek out anyone who had worked with the Doctor Subwave network she was able to locate them all. She goes on reassure Martha that the Subwave was completely hidden from the Dalek's radar and that she had developed it with the aid of the Copper Foundation.
Harriet warns Martha not to use the Osterhagen Key when Jack asks about it and orders them to forget about it, claiming that "all we need is the Doctor." Sarah Jane questions this and asks whether it was the Doctor who had "deposed her". Harriet replies sadly that "he did" and goes on to say that although doubting herself about the desission she had made on Christmas at first. However she justifies her reasoning as the Doctor couldn't be there to save the world every time there was an invasion. When Martha tells her that she failed to get through to the Doctor on her own, Harriet concludes this is why they all need to work together and act as "the Doctor's secret army."
During the plan to use the rift to call the Doctor's number- via Mr. Smith's hacking of the phone network- Ianto Jones comments that the transmitting signal would become open and visable to the Dalek fleet. Harriet admits that she was aware of this fact and that she also knew the Dalek's would track her down and kill her. She states that "my life doesn't matter. Not if it saves the Earth."
She thanks Jack for his solute, but tells them that "is enough with words" and that they they start as "there are people dying on the streets."
Wilfred Mott commends her and voices that he "voted for her" to be Prime Minister, although Sylivia Noble tells him that he never did.
She opens the Subwave to "maximum" allowing the signal to mask the transmission to contact the Doctor, which attracts the attention of a Dalek Saucer. The Daleks use their exterminators to smash the window, whilst she transfers the Subwave network to the Torchwood facility in Cardiff, putting Jack in charge and requesting that he tell the Doctor that "he chose his companions well." She states that it "had been an honor", before moving into the center of the room as three Dalek's enter her house via the blown out window. She introduces herself to them and retorts that although they knew who she was, they "knew nothing of any human. And that will be your downfall." She exhales and stands taller as the Dalek sentences her to death, dying along with her screen on the collected subwave monitor.
"Journey's End"
During Davros' goading of the Doctor- while he was being held in the vault- he boasts that he had "already seen them (The Doctor's allies) sacrificed today for their beloved Doctor" and addresses Harriet Jones as "the Earth Woman who fell opening the Subwave Network." The Doctor had been unaware of her death or the fact that she had been involved in bringing him to Earth until Rose tells him and he remembers her along with all the others he had lost over his travels.

Jamie (Doctor Who Series One)
First Mentioned: Doctor Who Series One Episode Nine: "The Empty Child"
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series One Episode Ten: "The Doctor Dances"
Played By: Albert Valentine
Born in London in the year of 1937 to a young woman called Nancy, Jamie never knew that she was his mother, who out of shame for giving birth to him as a teenager told him that she was his sister.
Scared of the bombs and being on his own, Jamie followed Nancy one evening of the London Blitz during 1941 and was crushed by the Chula Ambulance (that had been thrown away by Captain Jack Harkness). His injuries included a "massive head trauma in his left side, a partial collapse in the chest cavity and a scar on the back of his right hand". Being the Blitz Jamie wore his gas mask for fear of a gas attack. He had been resurrected by nanogenes, who took him to be a model example of a human and created a virus that would infect humans to make them look like he did. The last thing he wished for before his death was his mother.
He was later cured by Nancy and the nanogenes, which recognised her parental DNA and restored his body to what it had been before he had been "killed".
"The Doctor Dances"
When the nanogenes disperse from both Nancy and "The Empty Child", the Doctor runs over to him and expresses his desire to "give me a day like this". He reaches forward and laughs as he finds he can detach the gas mask from Jamie's face to reveal that he is alive and well. The Doctor picks him up and tells him that he will love the future in "twenty years" for the "pop music". Nancy asked what happened and the Doctor tells her that the DNA was registered and identified as having a similar match, joking that "mother knows best" and giving Jamie to his mother, who cries and hugs him tightly to her.
Jamie has his back to the falling bomb and is oblivious to the space ship flying above them and catching the bomb whilst it is hurtling towards them.
Later the Doctor comments to Rose in the Tardis that Nancy and Jamie would go to Doctor Constantine for "help."
Mrs. Harcourt (Doctor Who Series One)
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series One Episode Ten: "The Doctor Dances"
Played By: Vilma Hollingbery
Living during the 1941 London Blitz, Mrs. Harcourt was an elderly woman who had at some point lost her leg. She was transferred to the Albion Hospital under the care of Doctor Constantine, where she had come into contact with an infected individual and became one of the gas mask zombies. The transformation also managed to grow her leg back due to the nanogenes that were part of the virus.
She was cured at the abandoned rail way line along with the other zombies, by the Doctor and nanogenes that understood what humans were supposed to look like (unlike the ones that were infecting people).
"The Doctor Dances"
After the Doctor compliments Doctor Constantine for his dedication to his patience and explains that "whatever was wrong with them in the past, you will probably gonna find they are cured", Mrs. Harcourt hobbles over to him and addresses him warmly. Constantine comments that she is looking much better. Mrs. Harcourt expresses her surprise to find that her "leg's grown back" since she had only gone to the hospital with "one leg". He asks her if she had "possibly miscounted" due to all the confusion of the war.
She watches the Doctor as he prepares the Chula Ambulance for self destruction and clears the area with all the other cured victims.

Death of Cassandra Script (Doctor Who Series Two)
(This is exactly taken from Doctor Who Series Two Episode Two: "New Earth", so contains spoilers from the episode if you haven't seen it- Spoiler Warning)
"New Earth: Final Scene"
The T.A.R.D.I.S doors creak open. The Doctor walks out of time machine into a highly decorated side chamber, just near the main body of the party. It is the party from the recording (see the Psychograph Scene... coming soon)- held in the honor of the Ambassador of Thrace.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: For Bodeley's sake, don't do that. He'll be livid.
The Doctor passes under the half tied curtain into the main room, followed by Chip (Cassandra's soul sharing his body) and Rose. Chip is wearing a black shall over old hospital clothes and covering up his many of his tattoos.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: Oh no, don't! Stop it! (She giggles)
As Chip moves forward his eyes brighten and a smile begins to slowly appear on his face.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: That's simply not true. Tiny! Egypt was so dismal.
Cassandra is surrounded by a fairly large crowd- mostly men- who are all laughing at what she is saying.
Chip looks back to the Doctor.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: And the mosquitoes, I can't tell you....
Chip: Thank you.
The Doctor: Just go and don't look back.
Rose: (In Chip's ear) Good luck.
Chip smiles at her and gives her a polite nod, slowly making his was across the quieter side of room (most are gathered near the end). B/G- Two guests mingle with each other. A waiter passes with a loaded tray of champagne. The wall on his right has a water feature that resembles a Waterfall. He smiles as he is only a few paces away from his younger self, who is wrapping up her conversation.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: And if you actually see them, you're shocked.
Cassandra (Younger): (Wags her finger at the closest guy) But don't quote me on that.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: Oh you naughty people!
Cassandra (Younger): A Bientot!
She grandly begins to walk away, flourishing her hand.
Chip: Excuse me, the Lady Cassandra?
Cassandra (Younger): I'm sorry, I don't need anything right now, I'm fine, thank you.
Chip: (As Cassandra slowly turns) No, I just wanted to say. You look beautiful.
Cassandra (Younger): (He smiles. Pause, thinking how to react) Well, that's very kind, you strange little thing. (Looks him up and down) Thank you very much.
Chip: (Slightly taken aback, but ignores "her" own judgement) I mean it. (Steps closer to her) You look... (almost whisper) so beautiful.
Her face changes, looking as though she was terribly moved by this (as though it was a long time since anyone had truly complimented her).
Cassandra (Younger): (Voice is softer) Thank you.
Chip exhales. His eyes close. He falls forwards as though he has lost all ability to stand.
Cassandra (Younger): Oh, my Lord! (She goes down to her knees, catching him before he hits the floor) Are you alright? What is it, what's wrong? (To a guest that moves around her with a drink still in hand) Someone get some help. Call a medic or something (Other guests disperse) quickly!
Female Guest- O.S: Who is he?
Cassandra (Younger): (Pulls back his hood slightly to take his pulse, revealing a few of the tattoos) I don't know, he just came up to me. Don't even know his name. He just collapsed. I think he's dying. (More people are turning their backs and walking away) Someone do something. I've got you, sweetheart (begins to cradle him, rocking him gently on her knee). It's all right.
The Doctor and Rose watch on silently.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: There you are. There you are. I've got you.
Cassandra (Younger): (Almost completely alone in the middle of the room, keeping Chip company. Everyone else has ever turned their back or gone) It'll be alright. There, there. You poor little thing.
The Doctor nudges Rose and they slowly walk away, Rose looks back before disappearing behind the curtain. The Doctor then looks back, his glance long.

As Chip moves forward his eyes brighten and a smile begins to slowly appear on his face.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: That's simply not true. Tiny! Egypt was so dismal.
Cassandra is surrounded by a fairly large crowd- mostly men- who are all laughing at what she is saying.
Chip looks back to the Doctor.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: And the mosquitoes, I can't tell you....
Chip: Thank you.
The Doctor: Just go and don't look back.
Rose: (In Chip's ear) Good luck.
Chip smiles at her and gives her a polite nod, slowly making his was across the quieter side of room (most are gathered near the end). B/G- Two guests mingle with each other. A waiter passes with a loaded tray of champagne. The wall on his right has a water feature that resembles a Waterfall. He smiles as he is only a few paces away from his younger self, who is wrapping up her conversation.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: And if you actually see them, you're shocked.
Cassandra (Younger): (Wags her finger at the closest guy) But don't quote me on that.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: Oh you naughty people!
Cassandra (Younger): A Bientot!
She grandly begins to walk away, flourishing her hand.
Chip: Excuse me, the Lady Cassandra?
Cassandra (Younger): I'm sorry, I don't need anything right now, I'm fine, thank you.
Chip: (As Cassandra slowly turns) No, I just wanted to say. You look beautiful.
Cassandra (Younger): (He smiles. Pause, thinking how to react) Well, that's very kind, you strange little thing. (Looks him up and down) Thank you very much.
Chip: (Slightly taken aback, but ignores "her" own judgement) I mean it. (Steps closer to her) You look... (almost whisper) so beautiful.
Her face changes, looking as though she was terribly moved by this (as though it was a long time since anyone had truly complimented her).
Cassandra (Younger): (Voice is softer) Thank you.
Chip exhales. His eyes close. He falls forwards as though he has lost all ability to stand.
Cassandra (Younger): Oh, my Lord! (She goes down to her knees, catching him before he hits the floor) Are you alright? What is it, what's wrong? (To a guest that moves around her with a drink still in hand) Someone get some help. Call a medic or something (Other guests disperse) quickly!
Female Guest- O.S: Who is he?
Cassandra (Younger): (Pulls back his hood slightly to take his pulse, revealing a few of the tattoos) I don't know, he just came up to me. Don't even know his name. He just collapsed. I think he's dying. (More people are turning their backs and walking away) Someone do something. I've got you, sweetheart (begins to cradle him, rocking him gently on her knee). It's all right.
The Doctor and Rose watch on silently.
Cassandra (Younger)- O.S: There you are. There you are. I've got you.
Cassandra (Younger): (Almost completely alone in the middle of the room, keeping Chip company. Everyone else has ever turned their back or gone) It'll be alright. There, there. You poor little thing.
The Doctor nudges Rose and they slowly walk away, Rose looks back before disappearing behind the curtain. The Doctor then looks back, his glance long.

Vardan (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe)
First Appearance: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
Played By: Jim May
A talking wolf born during the reign of Jadis the self proclaimed Queen of Narnia and the one hundred year winter.
At some point in his life, he joined the White Witch's Secret Police force being a supporter of her claim to the throne.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"
Vardan is among the members of the Secret Police to be tasked to hunt down and kill both of the Beavers and the Pevensie children at the Beaver's Damn.
Reaching the Damn, Vardan and the rest of the pack begin to break into the house, but are told to hurry by Maugrime. Finally getting inside, they begin to tear the place apart until they find the Beaver's escape tunnel and follow it.
He and the pack watch Maugrime as he interrogates the fox, falling for the Fox's ploy to send them North in order to allow the children to get to the Stone Table.
The pack eventually pick up the correct trail and confront the Pevensie Children at the Waterfall and frozen river crossing, where they corner the children. However he and the other wolves are sent crashing under the water when the ice thaws and creates a powerful wave.
Surviving the incident, Vardan and the other members of the pack find the Fox gathering "rebels" near the shuddering woods and helps bring him before the Queen: watching him being turned stone, before being ordered to continue to the "Stone Table" after Edmund revealed the location of Aslan and his army.
Vardan and Maugrime hunt down the Pevensie's at the camp, where they shock Lucy and Susan- while the two girls were playing in the river- by appearing behind their towel that was hanging on a branch. Varden follows Maugrime's statement of their tiredness by stating that they wanted to kill them "quickly." However Susan distracts them long enough to reach for her horn and contact Peter and climb up a tree. Both wolves try and bite at their legs as Peter arrives and draws his sword on them.
Varden circles Peter as Maugrime mocks Peter for standing up to him again with the sword- having done it at the river- and is about to attack when Aslan arrives with Oreius and traps under him the lion's paw. He watches in shock as Peter kills Maugrime and sprints away as soon as he is released, inadvertently leading Oreius and several other of Alsan's forces to the Witch's camp.
Varden was injured during Edmund's rescue and is subsequently killed by an irate Jadis with a sword for failure.

A minotaur living during the reign of Jadis the Queen of Narnia, Otim was the General of the White Witch's army and her second in command, joining and supporting her cause at some point prior to the arrival of the Pevensie children.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"
Minutes before the arrival of Oreius and the other creatures in his party to rescue Edmund from the White Witch's military camp, Otim stood before Jadis, proposing the strategy they should use during the upcoming battle between their army and Aslan's. He reveals that he will "send the Minotaur's on the left flank and keep the Giant's on reserve, sending the dwarves in first."
Hearing the clashing of blades and hoof beats, Otim realises that their bargaining chip- Edmund- was in danger of being taken away from them and alerts the Queen, following her to the tree where Edmund had been kept. He watches as the Queen frees Ginarrbrick and looks to her for new orders. She tells him that "they have work to do."
Otim acted as Jadis' bodyguard during her parle with Aslan and her attempt to regain Edmund in order to sacrifice on the Stone Table. He leaves after the proposal to exchange Aslan's life with Edmund's was agreed by the two leaders.
Later that evening, Otim stood near the Stone Table as Aslan made his way up the stairs towards the Witch. On her signal, he knocks Aslan out with his axe and enjoys the sight of the Lion being bound, shaved and dragged before the Queen. Upon the "death" of Aslan, the White Witch tells him to "ready the troops" and he gives a loud bellowing moo to the other members of her army.
Otim is the first to come over the mountain, giving the signal for the rest of the army to advance, waiting for the Queen and her polar bear driven chariot. She tells him that she "has no interest in prisoners, Kill them all," and he commands them to advance. Jumping into the fray he charges towards Aslan's army. However he notices the flock of gryphons in the air, warning the soldiers to "look to the sky." Otim unsheathes his sword and brings down two centaurs
He is forced back by the Pheonix's fire, but continues his assault once the Witch douses the wall with her magic.
When Peter is thrown from his horse (unicorn), Oreius leads a second charge against Jadis and her forces. Charging at the centaur, Otim is disarmed by a two handed attack and is thrown over Oreius' flank. Trying to hold on and pull him back, Otim had the two blades rammed into his spine and is killed.
The Narnian Lullaby (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe)
First Appearance: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
One of the many Narnian Lullabies played by the Narnians to get them to sleep, Mr. Tumnus learned this piece for his pan pipes.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"
During Mr. Tumnus' attempt to kidnap Lucy Pevensie, he asked her whether she wanted to hear any Narnian music. Happily accepting, he goes on to question whether or not she has heard any "Narnian Lullabies" before. He jokingly comments that it was a good thing that she hadn't as "this probably won't sound anything like one" before beginning to play the piece on his pan pipes.
As the music plays, Lucy sees various scenes within the flames as she begins to fall deeper into sleep. When she eventually did fall asleep, Mr. Tumnus continues playing until a vision of Aslan appears in the flames, his roar acting like cold air and blowing out all the candles.

The Doorknob (Alice in Wonderland (1951)
First Appearance: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Played By: Joseph Kearns
Attached to the door at the end of the Rabbit Hole, the Doorknob is
the only way for people to enter Wonderland.
"Alice in Wonderland"
When Alice entered the empty room at the end of the passage of doors
(opening each one after the other to gain access) she comes across the
doorknob fast asleep behind a small curtain at the far end. When she
twists the knob, he wakes with a start that shocks her. He accepts
her apology, jesting that he had "given me quite a turn"
and interrupts her explanation of following the rabbit by
complementing his own wordplay. He tells her that "one good turn
deserves another" and asks what he can do for her in return. She
moves closer to him telling him that she is "looking for a white
rabbit". The Doorknob opens it's keyhole wide and she sees the
Rabbit and begs that she must get through. However he pulls away
saying that she was "much too big" and that the situation
was "impassible". She tries to correct him by saying he
meant "impossible", but he is defiant that he meant what he
said with the justification that nothing can be "impossible."
He directs her to "the bottle on the table" which has just
appeared before her and tells her to "read the directions and
directly you will be directed in the right direction." He is
confused when Alice talks to herself about the potential for the
contents of the bottle being poisonous and watches as she drinks some
of the bottle and shrinks to the right size. He chuckles when she
asks him what had happened and he replies that "you almost went
out like a candle." She points out that she is the right size to
pass, but he says that he "forgot to tell you" that he was
locked. Thinking she had the key he remarks that she is able to get
in and is surprised that she doesn't have it- the key having
materialised seconds later on the glass top. He recommends her to
"try the box" and eat one of "eat me" biscuits.
As Alice grows bigger, he foot presses against his mouth and he makes
a comment that is inaudible. Asking what the Doorknob said after
removing her foot, he jokes that "a little of that went a long
way"
He tries to cheer her up as Alice begins to cry, which results in a
large build up of water filling the corridor. He hurriedly points her
to the bottle. When she shrinks herself down to a size small enough
to fit within the bottle, it is carried on the "tide" and
is swallowed by the Doorknob.
The Fox (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950 Book)
First Appearance: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950 Book):
"Chapter Eleven: Aslan is near"
A relatively old fox that lived during the Jadis, The Queen of
Narnia's reign and her 100 years of Winter, he was one of the many
animals that had been visited by Father Christmas: when her grip over
Narnia began to loosen allowing Christmas to happen. He and a party
of several woodland residents were given Christmas Food, Wine and
Holly.
"Chapter Eleven: Aslan is near"
During the Queen's sledge journey towards the Stone Table Jadis
discovered the party in the woods, which was being attended by: the
Fox, a family of squirrels, two satyrs and one dwarf who were
celebrating the return of Father Christmas, who had given them the
stuff. The Fox had been about to start a toast when the Queen ordered
her sled to stop and demands to know what was happening. When nobody
answers her, she snaps to the Fox that if he didn't answer her
question she would get her Dwarf to "find a new tongue with his
whip" calling him "vermin." She continues to ask "what
is the meaning of this gluttony, this waste, this self indulgence?"
and describes all the Christmas related stuff as "things."
The Fox politely tells her that they had been given the stuff, before
going on to try and have them "drink your majesty's good
health." However she ignores this and goes on to question who
had given them. Terrified the Fox stammers that it had been "Father
Christmas" and Jadis advances on them with fury. She berates
them, saying that it was impossible for "him" to have
gotten into Narnia. However she changes her tact and tells them that
if they tell her it was a "lie" she would forgive them.
However after one of the child squirrels confirms the Fox's statement
to be true, Jadis uses her wand to turn the whole party to stone. She
smacks Edmund across the face, who had tried to protest telling him
that it was his lesson for asking "favor for spies and
traitors", before continuing the journey.
The Fox along with all the other animals at the party were freed by
Alsan at some point after the death of the White Witch.

After the Dragonborn killed Malyn Varen within his "sanctuary" of the interior of Azura's Star and returns to the Frozen Hearth Inn, Nelacar congratulates them for cutting off the link between the Star and Azura, altering "the fate of a Daedric item and live" (which is a very event to happen). The Dragonborn asks what they should do with Black Star now and Nelacar replies that they can keep it and use the Black Star to both collect and manipulate black souls for the enchanting process. He tells them that the Black Star "will never decay", but reminds them that they can no longer absorb "White Souls."

K-9 Mark IV (Doctor Who Series Four)
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Two Episode Four "School Reunion"
Played By: John Leeson
The latest model of the K-9 unit built after the previous one sacrificed itself to blow up the Krillitanes and Deffry Vale High School by the Doctor, he was a present for Sarah Jane Smith and was left in her care after he left Earth with Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith in the Tardis.
Around a year and a half before Sarah Jane adopted Luke Smith and began saving the world his aid and the aid of his friends- Maria, Clyde and (later) Rani- K-9 was forced to leave Earth and watch over an artificially created black hole (made in deep space by members of human race in Switzerland), where he has very little contact to his "mistress" or "master." Although he is still capable of visiting Earth in an emergency.
"Journey's End"
When the Doctor asks Mr. Smith to use the power from the Rift in Cardiff- sent by the Torchwood team via their Rift Manipulator- Mr. Smith informs him that he is unable to do so without having "remote access to Tardis basecode numerals." The Doctor remarks that getting the number to Mr. Smith will be a long process, however Sarah Jane tells him to let her do it.
From the Tardis, Sarah Jane orders K-9 back to Earth, who follows his orders with his usual phrase "affirmative mistress." Luke watches as the Doctor calls him a "good dog" and orders him to transfer the basecode. Following his instructions, K-9 remarks that "the process is simple", which makes many of the "Children of Time" amused.
K-9 stays with Luke during the planet's tow back into its rightful place in the Universe, who wraps his arms around him and cheers excitedly.

The Psychic Servant (Doctor Who Series Four)
First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Four Episode 13: "The Stolen Earth"
Played By: Amy Beth Hayes
A young albino servant working within the Shadow Proclamation, she had some form of psychic powers and the ability to see both into the future and past.
"The Stolen Earth"
The servant snaps Donna back into the present as she zones out while waiting for the Doctor during their time at the Shadow Proclamation, listening to the sound of a heartbeat inside her head (the sound of the meta-crisis Doctor's heart), offering her a bowl of water. She claims that she "needs sustenance" and that she should drink the water as it "purifies." Donna thanks her but is suddenly taken aback by the servant commenting about how she had "something on your back" (referring to the time beetle) and asks how she could know that. She ignores the question and tells her that she is "something new". Donna replies that she is nothing more than a "temp. Shorthand, filing, 100 words per minute" and that it was "fat lot of good that is now. I'm no use to anyone." The servant tells her that she is "so sorry for her loss", which Donna thinks is referring to the fact that the whole of Earth has been taken (by Davros and his new Dalek army grown from the very flesh of it's original creator). However the servant whispers that she meant "the loss that has yet to come" and hurries past her up the stairs (where Donna had been sitting) with the final comment of "God save you."

The Fox (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe)
First Appearance: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
Played By: Rupert Everett
One of the talking animals of Narnia, the Fox was born during the reign of the "White Witch"- Jadis, the self proclaimed Queen of Narnia.
At some point prior to the arrival of the Pevensie children, the Fox was recruited to join Aslan's army of "rebels" seeking to take back Narnia and free it from her endless Winter. One of his responsibilities was to personally find new troops for their cause.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"
The fox met the Pevensie children (Susan, Lucy and Peter) outside Badger's house, where he hears Peter ask what had happened after seeing the stone statues of the former residents. He answers, telling them that "this is what becomes those who cross the witch" and creeps out of the woods where he had been watching them and stands outside one of the higher up houses (that have been cut into the mountain).
Mr. Beaver has to be restrained by Mrs. Beaver, who angrily snaps that "you take one step closer traitor, I'll chew you to splinters." However the Fox laughs this off and tells him to "relax" as he was "one of the good guys." Beaver is unconvinced and points out that he "looked an awful lot like one of the bad ones," but the Fox remarks the it was an "unfortunate family resemblance". Hearing Maugrim and his secret police trying to pursue them through the barreled off tunnel, he tells them that they have to move and slyly smiles when Peter questions what "he had in mind".
Acting as a distraction while the Pevensie children and Beavers hide in a nearby tree, the Fox greets Maugrim with an enthusiastic good evening and politely asking if they had "lost something" while the rest of his pack circle him. Maugrim harshly barks that he shouldn't "patronize me" and declares that he knew whose side he was on. He tells them that he is looking for the children and gets furious when the Fox jokes about that being "valuable information". He is attacked by one of the wolves, who bites his flank and lifts him off the ground for Maugrim to interrogate further. He darkly tells him that his "reward is his life" and mockingly tells him that it "isn't much". Asking him again, the Fox tells them that the "fugitives" have gone North. He is tossed aside as the pack continue their hunt.
Mrs. Beaver tends to his wounds as the Fox explains about how the animals had been "helping" Mr. Tumnus before the police and the Witch had gotten to them first. Lucy asks him if he was "alright" and he replies rather jovially that "he wish that he could say that his bark was worse than his bite", but yelps in pain. Mrs. Beaver demands that he stops "squirming" and compares him to Beaver on his bath day (who makes a side note that it was the worst day of the year). He thanks her for her help, but tells her that he is unable to get any more aid as his mission to get more troops needs to be completed, telling Lucy that it had been both "a pleasure and an honor" to meet them. The Beavers ask him excitedly what Aslan was like and he declares like he was everything the old stories had made him out as being. He comments that the children should be happy to have Aslan on their side during the upcoming war, but Susan defiantly says that they weren't going to battle. He asks them what they intended to do about the prophecy and Mr. Beaver says sadly that they can't go to war without them. Peter tells him that all they wanted to do was get Edmund back.
Leaving the children as they went to Beruna, the Fox began gathering more of the Witches enemies to join the army in the Shuddering Wood, but was caught by Maugrime. He was dragged before the Queen, who sarcastically thanks him for telling them the wrong direction the children had went in and mockingly tells him that "it was nice of you to drop in." The fox begs forgiveness to "your majesty" and the Queen orders him not to "waste my time with flattery." However he defiantly answers her by saying that he wasn't being "rude" but "he wasn't actually talking to you" and looks in the direction of Edmund. Realising what he meant, she angrily demands where the "humans" were going but he doesn't answer the question. Edmund stops her advancing on him by telling her that they were heading to the Stone Table, thinking it would save his life, but only ends up to making him sigh and shake his head in disappointment. She thanks him and happily tells him that "it was nice for this creature to see some honesty... before he dies." She uses her wand to turn him into stone mid bound to Edmund's protest. She smacks him across the face telling him to "think about whose side he was on" directing Edmund in the Foxes general direction to show him what she saw in her eyes was the losing side.
He is brought back to "life" and is present at the children's coronation, where he stands beside the lioness (that Edmund had drawn on when he first arrived at the Queen's place) at the front of the hall of Cair Paravel. He joins in with the cheering, laughing at the lioness' face that has been permanently drawn on with a piece of charcoal.

Cosmo (Guardians of the Galaxy)
First Appearance; Guardians of the Galaxy (Cameo)
Played By: Fred the Dog
A former canine member of a U.S.S.R Space program that originated on the planet Terra (known to the locals as Earth), Cosmo was somehow obtained by the Collector-Taneleer Tivan, who locked him behind a glass display case and made him one of the exhibits in his private Museum on the mining colony of Nowhere (in the severed head of a Celestial).
"Guardians of the Galaxy"
During Star-Lord, Gamora, Groot and Rocket's visit to the Tivan Museum- the home of the "largest collection of Fauna, Relics and Species of all manor"- to sell him the Orb, Cosmo is alert in his exhibit and growls at Rocket as he passes the display case. Rocket retorts in the same fashion, but leaves him barking as the four outlaws (not yet official the Guardians of the Galaxy) follow Carina to meet the Collector.
After Carina's attempt to kill Tivan with the Power Stone backfired, causing her body to disintegrate and then explode in a blast of purple energy that tore through the museum and destroyed much of the building and the exhibits, Cosmo managed to survive the blast and scampered off into Knowhere.
Returning to Tivan later, Cosmo begins licking the Collector's face while the recovering owner is drinking. He doesn't receive a reaction and pathers off while Howard comments that it was "gross" that Tivan would "let him lick you like that."

Howard the Duck (Guardians of the Galaxy)
First Appearance: Guardians of the Galaxy (Cameo)
Played By: Seth Green
A being taking on the form of an anthropomorphic duck, Howard the duck was one of the many specimens that Taneleer Tivan had obtained and put on display in his private museum in the head of a Celestial that became the mining community of Knowhere.
"Guardians of the Galaxy"
Howard was one of the many exhibits that the Collector had on display when Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket and Groot arrived to sell him the Orb.
After the discovery that the Orb was a containment unit for the Power Stone, Carina grabbed the stone in order to use it's powers to escape from his services and kill her master. The energy releases and the explosion that tore through her body destroyed much of the museum and his collection.
Howard managed to survive the attack and sat watching his "owner" in the remnants of one of the old exhibits holding an identical green cup that Tivan was drinking from. When Cosmo licked Taneleer's face, Howard questions why he would "let him do that" and calls it "gross" in a very disgusted tone, taking a long drink from the cup.

Nelacar (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)
First Appearance: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Formally an Altmer student of the Mage's College in Winterhold who had been asked to leave after several failed experiments that ended badly, Nelacar has since been residing in the Frozen Hearth inn. He had left Winterhold completely but decided to move back.
He had been living there for some time, where he got on fairly well with the innkeeper, Dagur. Dagur cared for Nelacar's safety and declared that is he ever had any trouble from the other patrons, he should tell him and he would deal with it.
"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"
After being told by Aranea Ienith to look for "an elven mage able to turn the brightest star as black as night" that she had seen in a vision and that they should go to the "fortress endangered by water, yet untouched by it," the Dragonborn investigates Winterhold and discovers both Nelacar's identity and residence while talking to the local villagers.
Upon his arrival in the Frozen Hearth Inn, the Dragonborn hears Dagur (the innkeeper) exasperatedly confronts Nelacar over his latest experiment that had created a foul smell and a large explosion and asks what he actually did. Nelacar replies that it was just a simple "miscalculation", which he has "already corrected for future experiments." Dagur tells him that it was these types of magical disasters that made people dislike both magic and the College.
Upon talking to him, Nelacar tells the Dragonborn that he hadn't been at the Collge for years but still chose to live nearby. He goes on to tell them that Dagur and him have an "understanding" that allows him to board at the inn and carry out his experiments- but in return he has to make sure that the experiments don't result in his inn being destroyed. He claimed that due to his proximity to old colleagues, his research keeps him busy but he had lots of sources and data to work with.
Moving on from the pleasantries, the Dragonborn asks him about "the elven mage". He gets very suspicious and questions who sent them. Telling Nelacar it was Azura who sent him, he declares that his past has "finally come back to haunt him." He asks the Dragonborn about their knowledge of soul gems. Stating that they are used for Enchanting purposes, Nelacar states that soul gems are "frail" since they are used up after the enchantment is completed. However he mentions that only one can withstand the magic and not be broken down- Azura's Star.
Nelacar explains that Azura's star is a Daedric artifact that had the capacity to absorb multiple souls, which several people wanted to discover how this was possible. He explains he had worked under Malyn Varen, Nelacar reveals that the two of them attempted to alter the star so that he could use it's power to save himself from an imminent death (as he was suffering from a disease) and become immortal. Malyn was driven to insanity, which led to the death of several students and his eventual excommunication from the College. He tells the Dragonborn that he took himself, the star and his most loyal followers to Ilinalta's Deep before vanishing. Nelacar pleads with the Dragonborn not to bring the star back to Azura as he claims that the "Daedra are evil" and they are "the reason Malyn went insane."
Asking about Malyn's work, Nelacar explains that Azura's star was only capable of storing the white souls of animals and that her magic stopped any mortal souls from passing into the artifact. Malyn worked on a method of unlocking the full potential of the star. He goes on with an explanation of how Malyn went insane: he began to see and hear things that had were not there or said until one day he killed one of the students, using her soul to continue with the project. He remarks that College would deem Azura's revenge to being deserved, but wonders how many lives had been cut short to enact the Daedra's will. He claims that mortals were just "pawns to move around, praise and punish as they see fit.
When the Dragonborn returned with the broken star, Nelacar is surprised that they had actually found it. He muses that he might actually be able to change the fate of the artifact. He states that he can finish Malyn's work and cut the star off from Azura so that the star could only absorb black souls. The Dragonborn decided to give him the star, who takes the star over to his desk and examines it. Upon finishing, he remarks that the cracks and fissures in the star looked as if Malyn had was more hasty with his work and treated the star more roughly. However he suddenly realises that Malyn's work was successful and that he had managed to trap his soul within the star. However he reveals that the star isn't stable and that it needs more souls to "sustain itself" and that the star is keeping Malyn "alive." He tells the Dragonborn that he is unable fix the star with Malyn's soul still inside.
He agrees with the Dragonborn's comment that they need to try and remove Malyn's soul, but claims that he is unable to remove the soul by a simple enchantment, due to Malyn's own barriers that prevented souls from being extracted- only absorbed. However he concluded that he could potentially get a soul into the star and end the soul permanently- arguing that he was already dead.He says that they need to stop it from fading and letting it return to Azura's hands in Oblivion.
Nelacar tells the Dragonborn that he could soul trap them and send them within the star so he can finish Malyn and then lift the enchantments from the inside. The soul trap that he could use would not kill him, promising that he would release them once the job is done.
The Dragonborn questions Nelacar about his own fate- wondering if his fate will be the same as Malyn's. However Nelacar simply says that Malyn is "beyond help because he's dead" so it won't trap the Dragonborn because they still have a body to return to. He goes on to say that Malyn is little more than a ghost and that killing him will release the star.
Telling him that they are ready, the Dragonborn is sent into the star with Nelacar's soul trap: being warned before he went that it would "sting" as he needed to grab his soul and take a "deep breath."
Upon the death of Malyn, Nelacar contacts the Dragonborn and tells them that he will remove them from the star before he too was lost. Back at the Frozen Hearth, Nelacar tells the Dragonborn to take it easy and that the feeling of numbness "would pass." He tells them that they had done it and congratulates the Dragonborn for cutting off the star from Azura. The Dragonborn asks what they should do with the star and Nelacar tells them that they can keep it, so he can "end that chapter in his life" and happily tells the Dragonborn that he has achieved something that not many people had done and "altered the fate of a Daedric item and lived."
Alternate Reality:
When the Dragonborn returns to Nelacar after defeating Malyn on behalf of Azura, he coldly tells the Dragonborn that he has no time for the worshipers of the Azura.
Formally an Altmer student of the Mage's College in Winterhold who had been asked to leave after several failed experiments that ended badly, Nelacar has since been residing in the Frozen Hearth inn. He had left Winterhold completely but decided to move back.

When the Dragonborn returned with the broken star, Nelacar is surprised that they had actually found it. He muses that he might actually be able to change the fate of the artifact. He states that he can finish Malyn's work and cut the star off from Azura so that the star could only absorb black souls. The Dragonborn decided to give him the star, who takes the star over to his desk and examines it. Upon finishing, he remarks that the cracks and fissures in the star looked as if Malyn had was more hasty with his work and treated the star more roughly. However he suddenly realises that Malyn's work was successful and that he had managed to trap his soul within the star. However he reveals that the star isn't stable and that it needs more souls to "sustain itself" and that the star is keeping Malyn "alive." He tells the Dragonborn that he is unable fix the star with Malyn's soul still inside.
He agrees with the Dragonborn's comment that they need to try and remove Malyn's soul, but claims that he is unable to remove the soul by a simple enchantment, due to Malyn's own barriers that prevented souls from being extracted- only absorbed. However he concluded that he could potentially get a soul into the star and end the soul permanently- arguing that he was already dead.He says that they need to stop it from fading and letting it return to Azura's hands in Oblivion.
Nelacar tells the Dragonborn that he could soul trap them and send them within the star so he can finish Malyn and then lift the enchantments from the inside. The soul trap that he could use would not kill him, promising that he would release them once the job is done.
The Dragonborn questions Nelacar about his own fate- wondering if his fate will be the same as Malyn's. However Nelacar simply says that Malyn is "beyond help because he's dead" so it won't trap the Dragonborn because they still have a body to return to. He goes on to say that Malyn is little more than a ghost and that killing him will release the star.
Telling him that they are ready, the Dragonborn is sent into the star with Nelacar's soul trap: being warned before he went that it would "sting" as he needed to grab his soul and take a "deep breath."
Upon the death of Malyn, Nelacar contacts the Dragonborn and tells them that he will remove them from the star before he too was lost. Back at the Frozen Hearth, Nelacar tells the Dragonborn to take it easy and that the feeling of numbness "would pass." He tells them that they had done it and congratulates the Dragonborn for cutting off the star from Azura. The Dragonborn asks what they should do with the star and Nelacar tells them that they can keep it, so he can "end that chapter in his life" and happily tells the Dragonborn that he has achieved something that not many people had done and "altered the fate of a Daedric item and lived."
Alternate Reality:
When the Dragonborn returns to Nelacar after defeating Malyn on behalf of Azura, he coldly tells the Dragonborn that he has no time for the worshipers of the Azura.
