A portrait of the late mother of the Duke of Pemberton was on display in the ballroom of the Pemberton manor in Bath, England, in 1813. The Duchess of Pemberton told Ruby Sunday who the portrait was of when she noticed it, stating that the painting's eyes tended to follow her around the room as if in judgement. Ruby recognised her as a face she'd been seeing across their journeys, (TV: Rogue ^[+]Loading...["Rogue (TV story)"]) because the woman was one of Sutekh's Angels of Death.

The Fifteenth Doctor later told UNIT about this woman as one of several women across time with the same face. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday ^[+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"])
