She joined MI6 and became involved with her father ' s project , Wonderland . She moved to Cornucopia with her father under the alias of a Toliakk called Miss Ghost . She met the Doctor again there twice . Biography . Prague . Annabel was born in England , but moved to Prague with her parents as a young girl . Her father , Patrick Lake , told them that he worked as an accountant and that he had been transferred there , when in truth he was a spy working for MI6 , investigating Yuri Azarov . In November 1989 , Annabel and her mother , Heather , were kidnapped by Azarov . Here they met the Eleventh Doctor , who was also being held captive . They discovered the Golem of Prague and freed him from Yuri ' s control . The Doctor sent Annabel to sleep to prevent the Mavora from feeding on her fear and , while she was asleep , Heather became the Golem to save the world from the Mavora Collective . She was destroyed in the process . ( COMIC : " The Broken Man " ) She attended her mother ' s funeral with her father , where he promised never to lie to her again . ( COMIC : " Hunters of the Burning Stone " ) Training with MI6 . Annabel trained to join MI6 and work under her father . She was first in her year at everything , having promised herself that she would never again be a victim . After the Cybermen ' s attempted invasion of Earth in 2005 , MI6 decided to start operating in space , gathering intelligence , infiltrating the enemy and , when necessary , eliminating them , long before they reached Earth . It was around this time that Annabel discovered that her father had been blocking her transfer to UNIT . When she confronted him , he offered her a place on the Wonderland project . She was given converted cyber armour with some modifications , along with an Amaranian Star - Hopper on her birthday . She then started operating on Cornucopia , and Annabel and Patrick had moved there by 2012 . ( COMIC : " Hunters of the Burning Stone " ) Operations on Cornucopia . Psychic Metal . At this point , Annabel was working for Granny Solasta , the head of ThiefCorp , disguised as a Toliakk called Miss Ghost . Here she met the Doctor for a second time , as he and his friend Rory were captured by Solasta , who wanted to use the TARDIS to get to the Bank of Heaven , a ziggurat made from the same psychic metal that had resulted in Heather ' s death , which Annabel was investigating , and which was sending Cornucopia into poverty . The Doctor was forced by Solasta and the other crime lords of Cornucopia to take them to the bank , where he tricked them into fighting over its riches . Annabel tried to stop them but thought better of it , choosing to save herself . The Doctor managed to destroy the ziggurat and escaped with Amy , Rory , Horatio Lynk and Annabel . The Doctor then correctly deduce d that " Miss Ghost " wasn ' t a Toliakk , and Annabel turned off her disguise . However , the Doctor had no idea who was under the suit as he had not yet met Annabel as a child and she didn ' t take off her helmet anyway , instead hinting that she knew him and that she ' d be seeing him again soon . ( COMIC : " The Cornucopia Caper " , " Hunters of the Burning Stone " ) After Granny Solasta ' s death , Annabel and Patrick continued to live on Cornucopia . Annabel was still disguised as Miss Ghost , and was now working in port authority . Continuing her investigation into psychic metal , she boarded Captain Pala ' s ship , using the Doctor ' s sonic screwdriver to access information . However , her cover was blown just after she found stores of liquid psychic metal . While the ship ' s crew were attacking her , the ship was attacked by the Hunters . Annabel grabbed a member of the crew , Tarky Pakko , and questioned him , finding out that they got the liquid from a mining ship in the Kell Nebula . She destroyed the liquid metal just before the Hunters could get to it , prompting them to destroy the ship . She then opened a portal to escape , leaving Pakko behind . The Hunters proceeded to attack Cornucopia . Annabel followed them and once again met the Doctor , this time accompanied by Ian Chesterton . She demanded that he told her what he knew of the Hunters , and took Barbara Wright hostage . Barbara struggled and they both fell back into Annabel ' s portal . They emerged on Annabel ' s ship , where Barbara confronted her and demanded to know who she was . She took off her helmet and introduced herself as Annabel Lake and revealed that she blamed the Doctor for her mother ' s death . Barbara introduced herself , and the two witnessed the Doctor , Ian and Patrick ' s confrontation with the Tribe of Gum and the Prometheans . Now able to track them , Annabel explained her past to Barbara , before saying that now that she has a face and a name , she also has a target . They followed the energy wake to Earth - space , and were attacked by the hunters . Barbara spoke with them and persuaded them to let them past , promising they would speak again soon . After watching the Prometheans regress the human race to the stone age , they used a short range teleport to infiltrate their neuron platform and rescue the Doctor , Ian and Patrick . When the Doctor accused Patrick of turning Annabel into his toy soldier , she was quick to defend him , telling him he failed and her mother payed the price , and what they do now they do to honour her . She demanded that he made himself useful and thought of something . The Doctor left in the TARDIS and returned to the neuron transmitter , using the psychic gauntlet to reverse the Promethean ' s indoctrination of the human race , and transforming the transmitter to the shape of the TARDIS . Patrick tried to launch a full strike on the platform , but Ian protested . Barbara asked Annabel to give them a chance to stop the Prometheans their own way . She asked if she had a plan , but Barbara admitted that she was just trusting her instincts . Annabel told her that sometimes instinct is all they have , and that if she kept trusting it , then she would trust her . She opened a portal to the platform for Ian and Barbara and witnessed them persuade the hunters that compassion is the greatest strength they can ever have . When the Prometheans attacked them the hunters chose to protect Ian and Barbara , and a fight broke out . Patrick ordered Annabel to open fire while they were vulnerable , but she refused . When he tried to do it himself she forcibly stopped him , telling him he loved him , but he had to see that the hunters , their ancestors , are their only hope . The hunters and the Prometheans destroyed each other in the chaos . Annabel then continued to pose as Miss Ghost on Cornucopia . ( COMIC : " Hunters of the Burning Stone " ) Azrael . At some point , Danny Fisher joined Annabel and Patrick on Cornucopia . The three ran an operation to infiltrate the Obsidian Mainframe in order to monitor every transaction that took place there . They planned to lure the Doctor there to rescue five Kindred of Fel , an endangered telepathic species that was being auctioned by Mr Minus to be eaten . Danny would disguise himself as Londi Kalo , a humanoid goat - like cabbie , and deal with the Doctor , while Annabel took the identity of " crazy old diva " Donaria Strul , pretending to have an interest in buying the mainframe . When the Doctor overloaded the mainframe , he unknowingly provided a diversion , which Annabel used to plant " spyders " , tiny robot spiders that would hack the mainframe . Their mission a success , Annabel and Danny returned to Cornucopia . ( COMIC : " Pay the Piper " ) When they learned of 1930s pilot Amy Johnson ' s presence on Cornucopia , Patrick suspected the Doctor ' s involvement . After finding that the Doctor had returned to the planet , they watched him and discovered that he had lost his TARDIS thanks to them using him to hack the mainframe . The Doctor later visited her in Miss Ghost ' s office . She initially threatened him , but he reminded her that he hadn ' t blown her cover . When he asked for her help in tracking down Azrael , a dangerous necrotist from ten thousand years ago who had somehow returned to life and bought the TARDIS on the mainframe , she rejected him , saying that Cornucopia was not her priority . The Doctor reminded her that the people on Cornucopia weren ' t threats . When Danny , still disguised as Londi Kalo , entered the office , the Doctor figured out that they had used him to hack the mainframe and cost him the TARDIS . He angrily told them that they owed him . They took him to their headquarters , where the Doctor and Annabel found Azrael ' s location with the combined power of their sonic screwdrivers . Patrick sent the Doctor , Annabel and Danny through a portal , and they emerged on the Wasting Wall , Azrael ' s supposed masterpiece . After picking up tech signals , the three found a scientist who was working for Azrael on a weapon called the Mercy that turned people into blood statues . The scientist killed himself in order to beceome a part of the Wasting Wall , and Annabel tried to use his equipment to track the data feed back to Azrael . However , it was booby trapped , and her sonic caused it to explode . The Doctor and Annabel were knocked unconscious . When Annabel awakened the Doctor , they assumed that Danny was buried under the rubble . However , they had found the TARDIS , parked on a pedestal and coated in the Mercy . Azrael appeared , and Annabel shot at him , only for her and the Doctor to be captured . He used a psychic wand to dismantle her gun and both of the sonic screwdrivers , and removed his mask to reveal his true identity : Danny Fisher . While working in the mainframe he had stolen Azrael ' s mask from an auction and found that it contained his memories and skills . He had designed the Mercy to destroy alien life but spare humans , planning to use the Mercy - coated TARDIS to destroy all life - and all threats to Earth - in the universe . Annabel pretended to go along with his plan in order to get free but quickly turned on him , stealing the psychic wand and using it to free the Doctor . She then fought Danny while the Doctor tried to stop the TARDIS . Danny gained the upper hand and went to kill her , but she grabbed the wand and fried him , leaving only a skeleton , much like the scientist they had encountered earlier . The TARDIS then took off with the Doctor holding on , but there was nothing that Annabel could do to help him . Later , after the Doctor had stopped the TARDIS , he rejoined Annabel on Cornucopia and the two watched the Lifesong Carnival from above the city . Annabel reassured him that she didn ' t blame him for her mother ' s death , and said that she ' d be looking for monsters a lot more carefully now . The Doctor wished her luck and gave her a spare sonic screwdriver to replace the one that Danny destroyed . Shocked , she asked him why he was trusting her . He told her that it was because she trusted him , echoing a similar conversation he had had with her mother . ( COMIC : " The Blood of Azrael " )
