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.

Biography

She was finding a place to make a romantic liaison with a co-worker named Gareth Evans when she was seized and cyber-converted by Cybermen who had slipped 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 'earpieces' were overloaded by a signal from the Tenth Doctor. (TV: Army of Ghosts)

Her cousin, Martha Jones, whom she strongly resembled, later travelled with the Doctor. (TV: Smith and Jones, PROSE: Made of Steel) Like Adeola, Martha briefly worked with a branch of Torchwood. (TV: Reset, Dead Man Walking, A Day in the Death)
