The Marshal was a high-ranking Sontaran to whom Field Major Styre reported on his assessment of human physical limitations in 16087. He seemed to be impatient at Styre's delays, which were holding up the invasion fleet that was in dock in orbit of Sontar. He mentioned that they had had five false alarms about departure and that the crews were ready to mutiny if forced to wait much longer. After Styre was killed, the Fourth Doctor contacted the Marshal and told him that, without Styre's report, they could not invade and that the details of their plan were discovered.
