'''Icthar''' was the leader of the [[Silurian]] [[Triad]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scales of Injustice (novel)|The Scales of Injustice]]'')

According to one account, Icthar told [[Sauvix]] of [[Elite Group One]] that he was the "sole survivor of the Silurian Triad", with [[Scibus]] and [[Tarpok]] being Icthar's "companions". ([[TV]]: ''[[Warriors of the Deep (TV story)|Warriors of the Deep]]'') According to another account, Icthar told the [[Third Doctor]] that he was the leader of the Triad, with Scibus as Icthar's Second, and Tarpok his Science Adviser. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scales of Injustice (novel)|The Scales of Injustice]]'')
 
When Icthar had awoken in a world dominated by [[human]]s, he had made contact with a shelter beneath the island of [[L'Ithe]]. Following the death of the shelter leader [[Daurrix]], Icthar made [[Chukk]], who had already been a favourite of Icthar's, this shelter's leader. The Third Doctor pleaded with the Triad to seek peace with the human race, but this failed after a [[C19]] [[Jana Kristan (imposter)|operative]] killed Chukk. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scales of Injustice (novel)|The Scales of Injustice]]'')
 
The [[Fifth Doctor]] believed he had been killed, but he had not. Later, in [[2084]], Icthar decided, with Scibus and Tarpok, to take over [[Sea Base 4]] with [[Sea Devil]] troops and a [[Myrka]], and trigger a [[nuclear war]] between two human factions. After recovering from [[hexachromite gas]] poisoning, Icthar shot and killed Commander [[Vorshak]] with a Sea Devil weapon. [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] then forced the weapon from Icthar, and killed him with it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Warriors of the Deep (TV story)|Warriors of the Deep]]'')
 
In an [[Silurian Earth|alternate reality]] where the Silurians retook the Earth, Icthar was a member of the Council for Operations. Unlike [[Morka (Silurian Earth)|Morka]], who expressed regret for killing [[Third Doctor|the Doctor]], Icthar remained hostile to human threats and responded to them with excessive violence. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'')
 
== Behind the scenes ==
* The Target novelisation of ''Doctor Who and the Silurians'', ''[[Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters]]'', does not name the scientist, Old Silurian or Young Silurian as "Icthar", but respectively as [[Bokka K'to|K'to]], [[Okdel L'da|Okdel]] and [[Morka]].
* Additionally, Icthar appears in the novel ''[[The Scales of Injustice (novel)|The Scales of Injustice]]'', which also establishes that Silurians belong to different races or sub-species, with Icthar belonging to a different sub-species than the one seen in ''Doctor Who and the Silurians''. Just as in ''Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters'', the novel also identifies K'to as the "Silurian Scientist."
