Cicero, full name Marcus Tullius Cicero, was a 1st century BC Roman politician who served as Consul of Rome in 63 BC. In addition to politics, Cicero was known for being an orator, lawyer and a poor poet according to the Fifth Doctor He was married to Terentia, with whom he had a son, Marcus Minor. Like many upper class Romans, Cicero owned slaves, including a young man named Marcipor, known as "Marc."
During the aftermath of Adric's death, the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka traveled in the Doctor's TARDIS to attend a party Cicero's estates at Cumae. During the party, Cicero, Marc, the Doctor's party and a guard named Septus were transported to a world generated by Tartarus a sentient warp ship from the planet Zorth in the Fraxis Galaxy, in the constellation of Zandrobar. Tartarus sought new minds for the Hive Leadership of Zorth and, after dismissing the Doctor for allowing Adric to die and Cicero for executing men without trial, selected Marc. When Tartarus attempted to take Marc against his will, Cicero used his oration skills to convince the ship otherwise. After their ordeal, he decided free Marc, who then left to travel as a companion to the Doctor after Nyssa invited him along.
Eventually, Cicero would die what the Doctor described as an unpleasant death. (AUDIO: Tartarus)
