C is for... Chela


A young man from the planet Manussa. He worked for Ambril, the Director of Antiquities. Chela had an interest in the planet's legends - especially that of the Mara. Whilst Ambril was dismissive of such superstition, Chela thought that the old myths should be respected. When the Doctor arrived and warned that the Mara were going to return, Chela chose to believe him. He decided to help him, and informed him of the Snakedancers, who included Ambril's predecessor - Dojjen - among their number. When the Doctor and Nyssa were locked up, Chela gave them Dojjen's journal to read. He later stole the key to release them, and accompanied them when they went into the hills to find the old man. From Dojjen, the Doctor discovered the means to prevent the Mara re-establishing themselves on the planet.

Played by: Johnathon Morris. Appearances: Snakedance (1983).
