Julia Hartley-Price
Julia Hartley-Price, also known as the Overseer, was the Auctioneers' largest shareholder.
Biography
As the largest shareholder, Julia was effectively the leader of the Auctioneers, (AUDIO: The Sontaran Project) although she insisted that this was not the case. (AUDIO: Game Theory) She kept her identity secret even from her agents and was known only as the Overseer. (AUDIO: The Sontaran Project)
Julia was irritated by UNIT's meddling with the Auctioneers' activities and based the group at the Whitehouse Gallery to keep an eye on them. (AUDIO: Master of Worlds) After Sam Bishop was captured at a warehouse in the Mendips, Julia entered virtual reality with him and pretended to be a fellow prisoner in order to make a video game utilising his skills. (AUDIO: Game Theory) She also had John Torrance and Christine Colley work on cloning Merx, but UNIT thwarted them. (AUDIO: The Sontaran Project)
With Sam as her hostage, Julia made Kate Stewart and Petronella Osgood complete several tasks using virtual reality purely as a display of power. Sam eventually realised that Julia was manipulating him to make a video game and, with enough information, she returned him to UNIT in a container outside Windsor Castle and released the video game as a free app with optional internal transactions. She announced this to her fellow shareholders, who applauded her. (AUDIO: Game Theory)
Julia and everybody at the Whitehouse Gallery were immune to the C-Control App thanks to their technology and guided Kate, Josh Carter and the War Master's helicopter to the building using drones where she blamed UNIT's meddling for the Cybermen's invasion. The Master used his laser screwdriver to kill Julia and her soldiers. (AUDIO: Master of Worlds)
