| | The '''Fourth Drax''' was one of [[Eighth Drax|Inspector McCormick]]'s "half a dozen best men". |
|
| |
|
| '''Drax''' was a [[renegade Time Lord]] with a knack for tinkering. He knew [[First Doctor|the Doctor]] before either had left their home [[planet]] of [[Gallifrey]].
| | As such, he was present when McCormick was called to arrest the [[Third Drax|third]], [[Fifth Drax|fifth]], [[Ninth Drax|ninth]] and [[Twelfth Drax|twelfth incarnations]] of Drax. They later all ran away in [[Drax's TARDIS|McCormick's TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'') |

| == Biography ==
| | He posed as Captain Miles Rozann when attending the funeral of Drax which was posed by [[the Quantum Assassin]], saying that he was a jointed former customer of him. He was holding the Schroedinger cage in order to place the quantum assassin. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Here Lies Drax (audio story)|Here Lies Drax]]'') |
| === Youth ===
| |
| Drax attended [[Prydon Academy]] with the the [[First Doctor|the Doctor]] in the [[Class of 92]]. They were on the tech course together. Though his practical work was satisfactory, he failed his exams, done in by [[Temporal Theor]]y. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'') Drax and the Doctor belonged to [[the Deca]], a social group of rebellious students at Prydon Academy. Drax and [[the Monk]] became the first two members of the Deca to permanently flee Gallifrey and turn [[Renegade Time Lord|renegade]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties]]'')

| === As a Renegade ===
| | [[Category:Renegade Time Lords]] |
| Upon going renegade, Drax travelled the [[universe]] doing repair and maintenance work in the fields of [[cybernetics]], guidance systems, and armaments. When Drax's [[TARDIS]] suffered a breakdown in its [[hyperbolics]], Drax was caught on [[Earth]] engaging in criminal activity to procure replacement parts and did time in [[Brixton]] prison]].
| |
|
| |
|
| 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]].

| Four hundred and fifty years later in their personal timelines, they met again. While searching for the last segment of the [[Key to Time]], the Doctor and [[Romana I|Romana]] arrived on Zeos. Drax, under The Shadow's orders, reluctantly lead the Doctor into a trap. Easily seeing through Drax's pretence, the Doctor talked him into joining forces against the Shadow. With Drax's assistance, the Doctor recovered [[Astra of Atrios|the final segment of the Key to Time]]. Afterward, Drax stayed on Atrios to help rebuild that world. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Personality ===
| |
| Drax showed extreme technological aptitude. As a youth on Gallifrey, Drax had a [[skimmer]] he had built himself. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties]]'') However, Drax found himself unable to grasp [[temporal theory]], and he failed the class. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
| |
| | |
| During his prison stay Drax picked up Brixton's local accent and idioms, which remained part of his speech patterns after he left Earth and resumed his travels. When Drax met [[K9 Mark II]] and marvelled at the "little tin dog," K9 made note of Drax's silliness. Although Drax was not above criminal activity and weapons dealing for personal gain, he displayed a sense of what was morally right and bemoaned having to assist the Shadow in his schemes. The Doctor was able to talk him round to joining him against the Shadow without much trouble. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')

| | |
| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| * Drax was [[Barry Jackson]]'s third guest role in ''[[Doctor Who]],'' after [[Ascaris]] and [[Jeff Garvey]].
| |
| | |
| * The exchange between the Doctor and Drax regarding his accent in ''The Armageddon Factor'' would be echoed decades later in a similar exchange between [[Rose Tyler]] and the [[Ninth Doctor]] in ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]''.
| |
| | |
| * The interactive [[Make Your Own Adventure with Doctor Who]] book ''[[Search for the Doctor]]'' included Drax as a character. In this book Drax's TARDIS was in the shape of a convertible [[car]], the registration plate of which read "TARDIS."
