Rinchen

Rinchen was a monk at Det-Sen Monastery. He was one of the higher lamas.

When Khrisong wanted to let the robot Yeti kill the Second Doctor, he objected, thinking Khrisong should consult with the Abbot. He set up a spirit trap around the captured Yeti in the monastery.

He was suspicious of Victoria Waterfield, calling her a "devil woman," because she tried to explore the monastery against orders. He had Khrisong imprison the Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon. He was searching for Victoria when he was killed by one of the Great Intelligence's robot Yeti in order to frighten the monks away from the monastery. (TV: The Abominable Snowmen)
