Fenner was a crewmember of the methane refinery on Delta III in the 51st century.

After a ship landed on Delta III, Fenner and his superior, Thawn, went to to seek the craft. They came across the TARDIS and mistook the Fourth Doctor for the gun runner, Rohm-Dutt. They took him prisoner and returned to the refinery with him. While they were distracted by their machinery, the Doctor escaped.

This affected his treatment of Mensch, who was indeed a slave. Nevertheless, he did not hate the Swampies, and when Thawn tried to destroy Kroll and the Swampies, Fenner was not willing to go along with Thawn until he threatened to kill him too. When Thawn then killed Dugeen for attempting to save the Swampies, Fenner was enraged by this cold-blooded act and vowed to report Thawn to the authorities.

After Thawn and Kroll were killed, the Doctor told Fenner to spend his time wisely until a rescue mission from Delta Magna arrived. (TV: The Power of Kroll)
