Preba

Preba was a Peladonian trisilicate miner, who once helped the Third Doctor navigate the caves underneath the royal citadel. He was raised in the caves, which gave him a navigational advantage over most Peladonians. (DW: The Monster of Peladon) He was the youngest of the miners and by far the most daring. Despite the fact that Ettis trusted him, Preba was in fact a strong supporter of Gebek. (DWN: Doctor Who and the Monster of Peladon)

Behind the Screen

 * Despite being given a name, this character is little more than an extra in the televised episodes. He never has a close-up, and all but one of his scenes are played very much from the side or from behind. However, he is identified on screen when Ettis directly addresses him. Nevertheless, he is often confused with the more prominent nameless miner played by Roy Evans, who gets stabbed by Ettis in part four.
