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.
