The Marshal, or the Controller, (PROSE: The Sontaran Experiment) was a high-ranking Sontaran to whom Field Major Styre reported on his assessment of human physical limitations (TV: The Sontaran Experiment) in 16087. (AUDIO: Wirrn Isle)

Biography[]

The Marshal seemed to be impatient at Styre's delays, which were holding up the invasion fleet.

After Styre was killed, the Fourth Doctor contacted the Marshal and told him that, without Styre's report, they could not invade and the details of their plan were discovered. (TV: The Sontaran Experiment)

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Marshal appears only on Styre's video communications screen for his appearances in part two.
  • The Marshal sports two large bosses on the front of his collar — presumably to signify his rank.
  • The Marshal's image appears on the cover of The Doctor Who Monster Book.
  • For part two, Kevin Lindsay is credited as "Styre and the Marshal" on-screen, and as "Styre/The Marshal" in Radio Times.
