Winifred Gillyflower | Mr. Sweet
In series 7 episode 12 we're introduced to the "crimson horror" and the people responsible for it: Mr. Sweet and Winifred Gillyflower.
The Doctor and Clara end up in Yorkshire 1893 where they hear about a recruitment of people to live in a place called Sweetville.
Advertised as a safe haven for those who wish to survive a coming apocalypse, Mrs. Gillyflower, a somewhat innocent looking elderly woman, is only interested in the fittest, brightest and most beautiful applicants.
The people Mrs. Gillyflower chooses are preserved from the "apocalypse" in giant bell shaped jars.
The Doctor ends up in the "reject pile". The rejects are dipped into a huge pool of the crimson stuff, which ends up being leech venom. We find out that Mrs. Gillyflower's "Silent partner" Mr. Sweet is a tiny red leech from the prehistoric era. Mr. Sweet has attached to Mrs. Gillyflower's chest, and in return for sustenance, he provides he with the venom she plans to use on the human race.
