| == Biography ==
| |
| === Youth ===
| |
| Drax attended [[Prydon 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]]. ([[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 ===
| | {{NameSort}} |
| 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 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]].

| Four hundred and fifty 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|Romana]] 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. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Personality ==
| |
| Drax showed great technological aptitude. As a youth on Gallifrey, Drax had a [[skimmer]] he had built himself. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties]]'') However, he could not grasp [[temporal theory]] and 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 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. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| * Drax was [[Barry Jackson]]'s third guest role in ''[[Doctor Who]],'' after [[Ascaris]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Romans]]'') and [[Jeff Garvey]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Mission to the Unknown]]'').
| |
| | |
| * 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]]''.
| |
| | |
| * 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, in which his TARDIS was in the shape of a convertible [[car]], the registration plate of which read '''TARDIS'''.

While posing as "Charles Kirkland", the Twelfth Drax pretended to be a businessman whose main rival was Galdron Cabot. He had a butler called Rosser.
When he put his disguise aside, he told Romana II that he had lost his Cockney accent a few regenerations ago.
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.
