Aris was a young Kinda male who was possessed by the Mara which went from Tegan into him. He was the first male of his kind to speak. Under the Mara's evil influence, he wanted to attack the Earth Expedition's Dome, which would have resulted in the destruction of Deva Loka. He was freed of the Mara thanks to the Doctor's intervention and the help of the Kinda tribe to trap the Mara.
