Nadim

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Cousin-Once-Removed Nadim was a companion of Cousin-Thrice-Removed Anastasia, an Arabian scholar devoted to the study of djinn. One day the pair encountered some Unkindness who, unprompted, offered a prophecy. What it involved Nadim never revealed, but it's speculated that it led to Anastasia's decision to enter the House of Lords. In the Thirteen-Day Republic Nadim served as her advisor, but as the situation became more desperate he began to be shut out of meetings and eventually decided the Republic had failed. He attempted to guarantee the safe passage of some defectors back to the Eleven-Day Empire and in doing so was ambushed and killed.
