Adeola Oshodi, known familiarly as "Addy", was a technician at Torchwood 1, where she worked on its free energy project. She died as the result of Cyberman infiltration of Torchwood Tower. She was a cousin of Martha Jones.

Profile

Biography

She was finding a place to make a romantic liaison with a co-worker when she was cybernetically altered by Cybermen who were able to slip through the Void through a breach in space-time. Her 'upgrade' was internal, through an EarPod-like earpiece (or earpieces) linked with connective tissue directly to her brain. She was killed definitively when her earpiece(s) were overloaded by a signal from the Doctor. (DW: Army of Ghosts)

Her cousin, Martha Jones, with whom she shared a strong resemblance, would later travel with the Doctor. (DW: Smith and Jones, NSA: Made of Steel) It is not known if the Doctor ever told her how Adeola died. Like Adeola, Martha would later come to work with a branch of Torchwood.

Known family

Adeola was a cousin of Martha Jones of unknown distance. If a first cousin, her aunt and uncle were Francine and Clive Jones; some of her other first cousins were Tish Jones and Leo Jones; and Leo's daughter was Adeola's first cousin once removed.
