Marn was the assistant to Gatherer Hade of Megropolis One on the planet Pluto. Hade was primarily concerned with collecting taxes from the oppressed human population on behalf of The Company.
When the Doctor was coerced into trying to defraud a bank with a forged credit card, he was captured and sent to a correction centre. Hade suspected there was more to him than simple robbery and told Marn of this. She went to the centre and freed him, taking him to see her superior. Once released, they planned to track him and see who his co-conspirators were, as Hade thought he might be in the city to foment rebellion.
When a revolt did take place, and Hade was thrown from the roof by the disgruntled citizens, Marn quickly changed sides and joined the rebellion.
Played by: Jonina Scott. Appearances: The Sun Makers (1977).
- Marn was to have been a male character, but director Pennant Roberts had a habit of altering roles from male to female for greater diversity.
- Scott, who died in 2018, was married to actor David Ashton who appeared in Timelash as council member Kendron - another story directed by Roberts.
