==Powers and abilities==
== Biography ==
Nephew had the abilities of modified Ood, speaking using a translation sphere. He could remove the mind and soul of a person by placing his hands on their temples, leaving the body intact. This may have been due to House's influence.
Nephew — like [[Auntie (The Doctor's Wife)|Auntie]], [[Uncle (The Doctor's Wife)|Uncle]] and [[Idris]] — was brought to House through a [[Time rift|rift in space-time]]. When he arrived, he was broken, but House fixed him. There he lived with Auntie, Uncle and [[Idris]]. He tended to Auntie's and Uncle's worries in the manner of an enslaved Ood. However, unlike [[Auntie (The Doctor's Wife)|Auntie]] and [[Uncle (The Doctor's Wife)|Uncle]], he did not possess any obvious signs of being "repaired" by House. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] attempted to fix his [[translation sphere]], but it didn't work very long and only picked up [[Time Lord]] [[hypercube]] transmissions, not the Ood's thoughts.
==Appearance==
 
Nephew looked like all modified Ood, but had green eyes and a green translation sphere, possibly an effect of House's possession of him.
Nephew also had the ability to drain people's minds and souls. This may have been a natural ability of Oodkind or something House gave him.
 
Soon after the Doctor, [[Amy Pond|Amy]], and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] arrived on the asteroid, Nephew was possessed by House.

Nephew was an Ood who lived with Auntie and Uncle on an asteroid — actually an accretion to a sentient lifeform called House.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Nephew — like Auntie, Uncle and Idris — was brought to House through a rift in space-time. When he arrived, he was broken, but House fixed him. There he lived with Auntie, Uncle and Idris. He tended to Auntie's and Uncle's worries in the manner of an enslaved Ood. However, unlike Auntie and Uncle, he did not possess any obvious signs of being "repaired" by House. The Eleventh Doctor attempted to fix his translation sphere, but it didn't work very long and only picked up Time Lord hypercube transmissions, not the Ood's thoughts.

Nephew also had the ability to drain people's minds and souls. This may have been a natural ability of Oodkind or something House gave him.

Soon after the Doctor, Amy, and Rory arrived on the asteroid, Nephew was possessed by House. He chased Amy and Rory through the TARDIS corridors. He met his demise in the control room used by the Ninth and Tenth Doctors when the Doctor and Idris' makeshift TARDIS materialised in the space he was standing in, rending him apart at an atomic level. (TV: The Doctor's Wife)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

According to The Doctor Who Companion: The Eleventh Doctor Vol. 3, Neil Gaiman originally created a new alien for Nephew, but was asked to choose a previously established race when the budget didn't allow for the creation of a new monster.
