| '''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]]. | |
|

|
| == Biography ==
| | 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]]'') |
| === Youth ===
| |
| Drax attended the [[Prydonian Academy]] with [[First Doctor|the Doctor]] in the [[Class of 92]]. They took the tech course together. Though his practical work was satisfactory, he failed his exams, done in by [[temporal theory]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]''). Whilst he was at the academy, Drax became a member of [[the Deca]] and had his own self-made skimmer. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'')

| === As a renegade ===
| | {{NameSort}} |
| Drax had already escaped from Gallifrey when the Doctor was expelled from the [[Time Lord Academy]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'') Upon becoming a 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 stranded on [[Earth]]. He engaged 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]].
| |
|
| |
| 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. 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. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')

|
| |
| The Doctor was later used as a fall guy in a con orchestrated by the third, fifth, eighth, ninth and twelfth incarnation of Drax, who used a [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]] [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter|limiter]]. The fifth Drax was using the identity "Galdron Cabot" (a criminal-turned-businessman), the eighth - "Fleur McCormick" (galactic police officer), the twelfth - "Charles Kirkland" (businessman and Cabot's rival), and the ninth - "Rosser" (Kirkland's butler). ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'')
| |
|
| |
| == Alternative timeline ==
| |
| In an [[alternative 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 (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'')
| |
|
| |
| == Personality ==
| |
| Drax showed great technological aptitude. However, he could not grasp [[temporal theory]] and failed the class.
| |
|
| |
| 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 noted 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 talked him round to joining him against the Shadow without much trouble. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
| |
|
| |
| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| Although Drax's TARDIS is somewhere around in ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'', only components from it are seen on-screen. The interactive ''[[Make Your Own Adventure with Doctor Who]]'' book ''[[Search for the Doctor]]'' included Drax as a character, and described his TARDIS as taking the shape of a convertible [[car]], the registration plate of which read: "TARDIS".
