These two roles were very similar - power hungry and calculating, yet still subject to the desires of the flesh (human flesh, specifically - Chessene liked to eat it and Servalan liked to...well, I'm sure you remember). No disrespect to actor Jacqueline Pearce, but it's pretty hard to think of Chessene as anything other than a Who-universe Servalan.

Kellman at first appears to be working for the Cybermen, but is later revealed to be working for their enemy, the Vogans.
