The [[ | The [[Seventh Doctor]] once described Zodin as a celebrated sword-swallower at the [[Grand Festival]] of [[Zymymys Midamor]] and by no means any kind of actual villain, who did an impressive trick with a [[scimitar]] ([[NA]]: ''[[Lungbarrow]]''), although the Doctor did consider her to have ego-maniacal and megalomaniac tendencies ([[MA]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'').
