| ==Biography==
| | After the Doctor and Romana discovered their plan, they went to the ''[[Rutan's Tendril]]'', where they knew the four Draxes would be, and called [[Eighth Drax|inspector Fleur McCormick]] to arrest them. However, by the time they realised that Drax must have known he would have been arrested over different incarnations, they realised the truth about McCormick and her men, and by the time they returned all of Drax's incarnations had escaped in [[Drax's TARDIS|their TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'') |
| ===Youth===
| |
| Drax attended [[Prydon Academy]] with the [[First Doctor]] in the Class of 92. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
| |
|
| |
|
| Drax and the Doctor belonged to [[the Deca]], a social group of rebellious students at [[Prydon Academy]]. Drax and [[Mortimus]] 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:Drax incarnations| 09]] |
| Upon going renegade, Drax travelled the galaxy 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 a [[Brixton]] prison. During the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s search for the sixth and final segment of the [[Key to Time]], the Doctor and [[Romana I|Romana]] arrived on the planet [[Atrios]], which was at war with their neighbouring planet [[Zeos]].
| |
| | |
| In reality, the planet Zeos was deserted save for a giant computer called [[Mentalis]], which was controlling the war. The true enemy was a third planet called the [[Third planet]], ruled by [[The Shadow|the Shadow]].
| |
| | |
| The Shadow imprisoned Drax and made him work for him. He agreed to help the Doctor. With Drax's assistance, the Doctor recovered the final segment of the Key to Time. Afterward, Drax stayed on Atrios to help rebuild. ([[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==
| |
| * 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."

The Ninth Drax, under the pseudonym of "Galdron Cabot", pretended to be a criminal-turned-businessman who rivalled Charles Kirkland. At this point, Drax's memories were starting to dim due to age.
In reality, the Ninth Drax was plotting with ten of his incarnations to make the Fourth Doctor raid the most secure safe-house in history in order to retrieve a Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter.
After the Doctor and Romana discovered their plan, they went to the Rutan's Tendril, where they knew the four Draxes would be, and called inspector Fleur McCormick to arrest them. However, by the time they realised that Drax must have known he would have been arrested over different incarnations, they realised the truth about McCormick and her men, and by the time they returned all of Drax's incarnations had escaped in their TARDIS.
