Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early activities[[edit] | [edit source]]
Drax had already escaped from Gallifrey when the Doctor was expelled from the Time Lord Academy. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties) By one account, unlike other renegades like his contemporaries, the Master and the Rani, Drax purchased his TARDIS instead of stealing one. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Armageddon Factor) However, another account disagreed and asserted that he did indeed steal his Type 63 TARDIS, although the Time Lords decided to leave him be, recording him as "harmless and apolitical". (GAME: "Renegade Time Lords" [+]Part of The Legions of Death, Loading...{"namedpart":"Renegade Time Lords","1":"The Legions of Death (game)"})
Upon becoming a renegade, Drax travelled the universe, doing repair and maintenance work in the fields of cybernetics, guidance systems and armaments. He also committed cons. When his TARDIS suffered a breakdown in its hyperbolics, Drax was stranded on Earth. He engaged in criminal activity to procure replacement parts and did time in Brixton prison for over ten years where he acquired a Cockney accent to help him survive inside, (TV: The Armageddon Factor [+]Loading...["The Armageddon Factor (TV story)"]) which would later become a trademark through several of his regenerations, though the Twelfth Drax would tell Romana II he had lost it a few regenerations ago, from that incarnation's perspective, during a con. (AUDIO: The Trouble with Drax [+]Loading...["The Trouble with Drax (audio story)"])
Used by the Shadow[[edit] | [edit source]]
Later, the Black Guardian's agent, the Shadow, imprisoned Drax and forced him to build and maintain a giant computer called Mentalis on the deserted planet Zeos. Mentalis carried out a war against the neighbouring planet of Atrios.
450 years later in their personal timelines, Drax and the Doctor met again. While searching for the last segment of the Key to Time, the Fourth Doctor and Romana I arrived on Zeos. Drax, under the Shadow's orders, reluctantly led the Doctor into a trap. Drax claimed he hadn't expected the one looking for the Key to be the Doctor. Briefly, the two reminisced though at first, the Doctor needed a moment to remember him. Easily seeing through Drax's pretence, the Doctor talked him into joining forces against the Shadow. With Drax's assistance, the Doctor recovered the final segment of the Key to Time. Afterwards, Drax stayed on Atrios to help rebuild that world. (TV: The Armageddon Factor [+]Loading...["The Armageddon Factor (TV story)"]) During that time, Drax had hacked the directional unit of the Doctor's TARDIS. (AUDIO: The Trouble with Drax)
Later activities[[edit] | [edit source]]
Drax was once involved in an incident with the Sixth Doctor and Omega. (PROSE: Search for the Doctor [+]Loading...["Search for the Doctor (novel)"])
Alternate timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
In an alternate timeline Drax cooperated alongside the Master, the Monk, and the Rani to try to destroy the world using a DNA recombinator, turning the human race into a gestalt consciousness which could be used as a weapon to conquer the universe. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel)
Other information[[edit] | [edit source]]
This Drax's TARDIS took the shape of a convertible car, the registration plate of which read: "TARDIS". (PROSE: Search for the Doctor [+]Loading...["Search for the Doctor (novel)"])
