-This '''[[Cyber-Leader (Mondas)|Cyber-Leader]]''' planned to destroy [[Earth]] with [[Cyber-bomb]]s to stop a conference that was leading to an alliance against the Cybermen. When its [[Cyberman android|androids]] were destroyed and the bomb had failed, the Cyber-Leader examined the information gleaned from the androids' memories, and realised the Doctor was involved.
+A '''[[Cyber-Leader]]''' led the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]'s attempted destruction of [[Earth]] in [[2526]] and tried to enlist [[Marcipor|Marc]] before being driven mad.
-It showed replays of the different encounters with the Doctor; it showed the [[First Doctor]]'s encounter with the Cybermen when [[Mondas]] was attacking Earth, when the [[Second Doctor]] confronted the Cybermen invading [[the Wheel]], and the Cybermen's attack on [[Voga]] where they were foiled by the [[Fourth Doctor]]. It deduced the Doctor had [[regenerated]] again, and that he should be killed.
+== Biography ==
+The individual who became the Cyber-Leader endured a painful [[Cyber-conversion|conversion]] when he became a [[Cyberman]], enduring [[blade]]s and a feeling of [[burning]] before what it considered to be [[death]]. However, its processing meant that it forgot about its life and conversion. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Conversion (BFM audio story)|Conversion]]'')
-It sent the Cybermen to attack [[Briggs' freighter]]. Its cargo, unknown to the crew, was an army of Cybermen. They awoke and took over the ship. The Cyber-Leader planned to destroy life on Earth by hitting it with the craft they had reprogrammed. The craft unexpectedly travelled back in time when interfacing with the Cyber device. It hit the Earth but only resulted in wiping out the [[dinosaur]]s. The Cyber-Leader attacked the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]] in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. The Doctor ground [[Adric]]'s gold star badge into the Cyber-Leader's chest. It shot at the TARDIS console and died when the Doctor shot it several times. ([[TV]]: ''[[Earthshock (TV story)|Earthshock]]'')

+In [[2526]], the Cyber-Leader was tasked with destroying [[Earth]] with a [[Cyber-bomb]] to stop a [[conference]] that would result in an unstoppable alliance against the Cybermen. However, the bomb failed and the [[Cyberman android|androids]] were destroyed, leading it to instead plan to use [[Briggs (Earthshock)|Captain Briggs]] [[Briggs' freighter|freighter]]. It was unsuccessful and attacked the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Nyssa]] in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], where the Doctor ground [[Adric]]'s [[Star of Mathematical Excellence|golden badge]] into its [[chest unit]] before shooting it several times. ([[TV]]: ''[[Earthshock (TV story)|Earthshock]]'')
+Whilst its body was destroyed, the Cyber-Leader's [[core processing]] was downloaded to another unit. It attempted to recover a partially-converted [[Marcipor|Marc]] for use in [[espionage]] but was thwarted once again by the Fifth Doctor, whom it called a hypocrite for resorting to violence. Reprogrammed medical [[nano-drone]]s invaded the Cyber-Leader's body, breaking down its conditioning and causing it to remember its past life, driving it mad. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Conversion (BFM audio story)|Conversion]]'')

+* This was the first Cyber-Leader to enter the TARDIS.
