Pearl was a member of a travelling circus sideshow troupe who were known as "the Night Travellers", as they only performed after dark. In the early years of the 20th Century they attracted the attention of Captain Jack Harkness, after a string of mysterious disappearances - always following one of their visits. Come morning, there was never any trace of the circus having been there.
Pearl was billed as the "Mermaid Woman" as she had a special affinity with water. She appeared to be able to breath underwater. The troupe were once captured on celluloid and, when the vintage film print was screened at an old cinema in Cardiff, Pearl and other members of the group were able to emerge and resume their nocturnal activities - capturing the life-force of their victims. They stole the original reel of film but Jack captured them again on another old cine-camera. When this new footage was burned, the Night Travellers were destroyed. However, he was concerned that other footage of the group might exist somewhere, and they could once again be set free...
