Cass Fermazzi
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Cass was the sole remaining pilot of a space gunship. She died when the ship crash-landed on the planet Karn.
Profile
Cass had already teleport the rest of the crew off the ship when she encountered the Eighth Doctor, whose TARDIS had just materialised onboard. Recognizing the Doctor as a Time Lord, Cass chose to death rather than to become involved with the Last Great Time War, despite the Doctor's protestations.
Her death inspired the Doctor to finally take part in the war. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)
- The reason for her ship's proximity to Karn remains unknown.
