Angel of Death
The Angels of Death were seemingly-ordinary women inserted into history by Sutekh at every point the Doctor's TARDIS landed after Sutekh latched onto it. (TV: Empire of Death [+]Loading...["Empire of Death (TV story)"]) The malevolent personalities of the Angels existed like chrysalis within these ordinary women. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"]) When the time came for the Empire of Death, the Angels would bring the Dust of Death to their homes. These Angels could look identical or they could vary in appearance.
Sutekh considered himself to have "birthed" the Angels, with Kate Stewart remarking that the God of Death had created life. They were enmeshed with history to the point of having families and complete pasts. (TV: Empire of Death [+]Loading...["Empire of Death (TV story)"])
Susan Triad, a notable Angel, often had dreams from the perspectives of other Angels. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"])
