Alex Evening was a young man who had endured a childhood of abuse from his deeply religious mother, Janet Evening, who after finding alien technology in a local river in Middlesbrough, created a a new world which he used to vessel his trauma into. However, he kidnapped women after he found his creations weren't enough, and made them his slaves, doing unspeakable acts to them.

Biography

Alex Evening grew up with only his mother, Janice Evening, in an old house in Middlesbrough. Janice, a practitioner of Christianity, would frequently use the religion to harm her son, reading from the bible to her young child, and then using it to physically beat him. From this, Alex knew what pain the bible could inflict. He enjoyed building model aeroplanes in his shed, but when he was in his teens, he found a Q'Dhite Mind-Treader in a local river, which through its design, allowed Alex to construct a world, based heavily off his interests, such as model making and male-oriented science fiction.

As his world florished, he found that the women he created, his "slaves", weren't quite real enough. He had to have the real thing. So, he started using chlormezanone to kidnap at least two local girls, bringing them to his shed, and transporting them to his world, making them his new "slaves" and abused them.

When the Seventh Doctor, Ace, Corporal Ives, Colonel Frost, and UNIT were investigating a potential UFO that caused the crash of a Nazi plane in World War 2, Ace went into the Burroughs Charted Surveyor, where Alex worked as a clerk, to obtain local records on plane crashes from that time period. However, Alex took a liking to Ace, so he drugged her like the other girls, kidnapping her, taking her to his world. However, being a Thursday, he didn't have enough free time to spend in his world, so he continued through Thursday and Friday, putting Ace out of his mind, despite his excitement. During those two days, the Doctor arrived at the Burroughs Charted Surveyor, looking for Ace, but Alex denied knowing where she was, though the Doctor wasn't convinced.

On Friday evening, he came to his world, much to the pleasure of his creations and to the fear of the girls. Over the course of the night, he abused them, including Ace. On Saturday morning, while Ace, in a traumatic state, tried her best to ignore him, he explained to her how he created his world. However, the Doctor and UNIT soon arrived, attacking the "people" and the city Alex created. He blamed the destruction on Ace, but when Ives and Frost confronted him, he instructed a monstrous bible, his secret weapon, to kill Ives (the "fat one") and leave Frost (the "pretty one"). The "bible" also attacked many UNIT soldiers, presumably killing them.

The Doctor, tired of this nightmare and all the death, returned to Earth, and came back with Alex's mother, Janice. She reprimanded his boy, his fear shattering the world he had created, and the Doctor and everyone else evacuated quickly. The Doctor remarked that Alex's nightmare would had only just begun. Back in the Evenings' shed, the Doctor explained to Janice that her son was now in a coma, and he left, taking the Mind-Treader with him. (COMIC: Evening's Empire)

Personality

Through the trauma inflicted upon him by his mother, Alex grew up to have an unhealthy state of mind. He would use his power, given to him by the Mind-Treader, to create a fantasy world in which he could expell his anger onto other beings, namely forcing his creations to fight each other to the death, and using the women in any way he pleased. With this poor state of mind, he had no issue kidnapping real women and using them in the same way, actually enjoying and relishing the excitement. They were little more than games to him, like the models he crafted. (COMIC: Evening's Empire)

Behind the scenes

While it is unambiguous that Alex was the main antagonist of the story, perhaps only redeemable if one considers the psychological trauma he went through as a child, the true antagonists of the story would be Janice Evening, who failed to recognise that her son's despicable acts were influenced by the abuse she inflicted upon him, and the way Christianity is used as a fear-inducing object of abuse by cruel individuals.
