A funeral director who was a member of the cowardly Tivolian race. He visited a remote part of Scotland in 1980, transporting the body of the Fisher King for burial there. The Fisher King had conquered Tivoli before finally being overthrown and killed by another invader. However, the creature wasn't dead at all, and had prepared a rescue scheme. A mental message was implanted into people's minds, which caused them to turn into ghostly psychic transmitters after they died. This would summon his supporters to find an free him.
Prentis was the first to die, and his phantom image haunted the Drum 129 years later. This was an underwater mining complex situated at the bottom of the lake which later flooded the valley where his hearse had landed.
All of the "ghosts" were trapped by the Doctor in a Faraday Cage, which UNIT had launched into space where their psychic energy would eventually dissipate.
