Principal mortician of the Tranquil Repose funeral complex, on the planet Necros. He was terribly vain, and hid his baldness with an ill-fitting toupee.
He regarded himself as a lady's man, and attempted to charm any woman he encountered - including the Doctor's companion Peri. The one woman who actually showed any affection back, he disliked and constantly belittled. This was Tasambeker, who worked as his assistant. Jobel liked to think that he was in charge of Tranquil Repose, but he was being watched closely for signs of disloyalty by its true controller - the Great Healer. This was Davros, who was using the complex's bodies in his experiments to create a new Dalek army loyal only to him.
Davros had once offered him the chance to become a Dalek, but he had declined. When Tasambeker was also offered this choice, she too declined but because of her love for Jobel. When he insulted her once more, she snapped and stabbed him through the heart with a syringe full of embalming fluid.
Played by: Clive Swift. Appearances: Revelation of the Daleks (1985).
- Swift returned to the programme for the 2007 Christmas Special - Voyage of the Damned - as Mr Copper. An interview he gave for DWM at the time was extremely ill-tempered.
