Serving Officer PC Yasmin "Yaz" Khan was a companion of the Thirteenth Doctor and a junior police officer with Hallamshire Police. She lived in Flat 34 of the Park Hill estate in Sheffield with her parents Hakim and Najia, and her sister Sonya. She is of Pakistani descent.

As part of Team TARDIS, Yaz often made use of her investigation skills to help the Doctor solve problems. She often questioned people for information and made note of items of interest, to help work out what was really going on.

She also had training which came in handy for reassuring and calming victims and survivors of traumatic events, in the aftermath. During adventures, she was best equipped to develop a relationship of trust with people who could help out, by gaining their confidence.

Fiercely loyal to the Doctor, with budding romantic feelings for her developing later in their travels, Yaz saw her outlook on life changed by her travels and found it difficult to adjust to life on Earth after the Doctor's imprisonment. As a result, she continued to travel in the TARDIS even after her friends Ryan Sinclair and Graham O'Brien chose to leave.

Travelling alone with the Doctor, Yaz became fully immersed in the Doctor's world. No longer working for the Hallamshire Police, she found a new role by the Doctor's side, as co-pilot and co-conspirator.

Dan Lewis later joined the crew as the Flux threatened to destroy everything they knew. As the more experienced companion, Yaz helped Dan adjust to this new reality, offering explanations without condescension, and challenged the Doctor on keeping secrets from her friends.

Whilst trapped in a storage unit building on New Years Eve, she revealed to Dan that she liked the Doctor. She also admitted that she hadn't told anyone about her sexuality, or even admitted it to herself yet. Dan said that her feelings for the Doctor were obvious from how she acted.
