Borg, who went by Kane, was a humanoid from the planet Kaltarr. (COMIC: The Warrior's Story)

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

At some point in his past, Kane had gained an advanced knowledge of Time Lords and Gallifrey. He was even able to help effect repairs to the Doctor's TARDIS. He had been a professor of phenomenology at Kaltarr Tech for ten years until he left because of politics and "interdepartmental backstabbing". He considered his time after Kaltarr Tech to have been far more productive than the whole of his tenure, to the point that had learnt telekinesis.

The Sixth Doctor and Frobisher met Kane by chance on an un-named world two years after he left Kaltarr Tech. He hitched a ride with the Doctor to the Ankara System, where were gathered leaders of various political groups who were concerned about the threat posed by the Skeletoids. (COMIC: Kane's Story)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Kane's debut comic story, Kane's Story, was immediately followed by Abel's Story, which introduced Abel Gantz, an alchemist with shapeshifting abilities. Taken together, Kane and Abel are references to Cain and Abel, two siblings from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. The short story One Bad Apple would later feature another such pairing: Lieutenant Cain and soldier Abel.
