Human servant of Sutekh, the evil Osirian whom he believed to be one of Egypt's ancient gods. His family had served Sutekh for generations, helping prepare for his release from millennia-long captivity.
After Egyptologist Marcus Scarman had unwittingly broken into the tomb where he was held immobilised by a force-field, Namin was despatched to his country house in England to prepare for his freedom. He was given a special ring which controlled the mummy-like Osirian servo-robots.
Namin's task was to secure the house and grounds to establish a base of operations.
When an old friend of the archaeologist - Dr Warlock - arrived demanding to know the whereabouts of Scarman, Namin attempted to kill him. He was saved by the Doctor's intervention, though badly wounded. Namin sent the robots to search the grounds and kill them.
Sutekh took over the reanimated corpse of Marcus Scarman and sent him to the house via a time tunnel, deeming him to be a more effective servant. His usefulness now at an end, his first task was to kill Namin.
Played by: Peter Mayock. Appearances: Pyramids of Mars (1975).
- Mayock returned to Doctor Who the following year, playing Solis - the hypnotised Chancellery Guard officer who tried to kill the Doctor in The Deadly Assassin.
