[[Consuls of Traken|Consul]] '''Tremas''' was a [[Trakenite]] [[scientist]] who served as an appointed governor of [[Traken]] and, briefly, [[Keeper-Nominate]]. He and his daughter [[Nyssa]] assisted the [[Fourth Doctor]] when {{Pratt}} attempted to take control of [[Source of Traken|the Source of Traken]].

'''Tremas''' of Traken was one of the five [[consul]]s to the [[Keeper of Traken]] and was once selected to become Keeper. He married [[Kassia]], his second wife, who was also a consul, and he had a daughter, [[Nyssa]].

Born circa [[1936]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]''; [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Keeper of Traken (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Keeper of Traken]]'') Tremas was a [[scientist]] with an interest in [[bioelectronics]] who was appointed as a [[Consuls of Traken|consul]] to the [[Keeper of Traken]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Keeper of Traken (TV story)|The Keeper of Traken]]'') Some time after the [[death]] of his father, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Toy (audio story)|The Toy]]'') he and his wife, [[Lucina]], had a daughter named [[Nyssa]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Keeper of Traken (TV story)|The Keeper of Traken]]'')


However, Kassia came under the influence of the [[Melkur]] and she turned against the [[Traken Union]]. When Tremas was considered unfit to become Keeper for helping [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Adric]], Kassia was chosen and when she became connected to [[the Source]], the power of the Keepers, she was destroyed and replaced by the Melkur, who it was revealed was really [[the Master]].
Lucina died in childbirth ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Empire of Death (novel)|Empire of Death]]'') or whilst Nyssa was still young, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Haunting of Thomas Brewster (audio story)|The Haunting of Thomas Brewster]]'') after which Tremas stopped cultivating his extensive [[garden]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Asylum (novel)|Asylum]]'') He raised Nyssa on his own, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Orphan (audio story)|The Orphan]]'') his position having the consequence of her spending much of her time with older people. She inherited Tremas's love of [[science]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Keeper of Traken (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Keeper of Traken]]'') and his interest in bioelectronics. ([[TV]]: ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'')


Tremas helped the Doctor to stop the Master and still save the Source. In an unfortunate outcome, the Master, who still possessed some of the Keepership's powers after being removed from the Source, took over Tremas' body to use as his fourteenth incarnation. He would use Tremas' body as his own at least until he faced [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] on the [[Cheetah World]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Keeper of Traken]]'', ''[[Survival]]'')

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Keeper of Traken (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Keeper of Traken]]'')


: ''An older Tremas-as-Master would appear in the videogame [[Destiny of the Doctors]], but it's not known if this is canonical. The Master as played by [[Gordon Tipple]] in [[Doctor Who: The TV Movie]] resembles the Tremas incarnation, but it is not known for certain if it is meant to be the Tremas incarnation.''
=== Fighting the Master ===
Tremas attempted to use science to solve the death of a [[Foster (Traken Union)|Foster]] and detected {{Pratt}}'s influence on Traken. He trusted the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Adric]], taking them under his protection through [[Consular Privilege]] when they were suspected of wrongdoing, and was replaced as Keeper-Nominate by Kassia when she claimed that he had concealed information and named the newcomers as servants of the [[Melkur (The Keeper of Traken)|Melkur]].

Consul Tremas was a Trakenite scientist who served as an appointed governor of Traken and, briefly, Keeper-Nominate. He and his daughter Nyssa assisted the Fourth Doctor when the Decayed Master attempted to take control of the Source of Traken. Although unsuccessful, the Master managed to use some of the energy he had absorbed to merge with Tremas, killing him and giving the Master a new body at last.
