Hade
Gatherer Hade was an official who worked for the Company in Megropolis One on Pluto.
Biography
Hade was keen to obey the Collector and so applied all of his taxation policies without pity. He was aided constantly by Marn, who worked for him.
When the Doctor's TARDIS landed on Pluto, Hade was overjoyed as it broke several rules that would result in large fines. However, he was unable to find the occupant.
The Fourth Doctor was captured and Hade took him to be an Ajack who was conspiring against the Company. He decided to set him free so that he could see who his associates were. In doing so, he also gave him 1000 talmars, the money that the Doctor was originally trying to get. Watching on a tracking screen, Hade and Marn lost track of the Doctor when he entered the undercity.
In order to combat the outlaws massing in the undercity, Hade visited the Collector and convinced him to part with half of his Inner Retinue guard. He devised a plan called Morton's Fork with which he intended to force the outlaws into the open where they could be picked off.
Hade was summoned by the Collector who told him that his theory was wrong and that the Doctor was simply a traveller. The Collector then decided to put out a bounty of 5000 talmars for information leading to the Doctor's death or capture. He finished by saying that it was to be paid for by Hade himself.
Unwilling to loose the money, Hade and Marn headed out to find the Doctor when he showed up on the scanner. However, at his supposed location, they found him absent and put it down to a technical fault. Hade was then required to oversee the process of Leela's steaming. However, problems arose and Hade had to report that rebellion was breaking out across Megropolis One.
Hade attempted to personally quell the rebels by berating a group he found lounging on the rooftops, an out of bounds area. However, they simply picked him up and through him over the edge. The 100 metre fall resulted in his death. (DW: The Sun Makers)
