Drax did jail time in [[Brixton]] on [[Earth]], where some of the local accent rubbed off.

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 [[Planet of Evil (planet)|Planet of Evil]], ruled by [[The Shadow]].
The Shadow had imprisoned Drax and made him work for him. He agreed to help the Doctor. With his assistance, The Doctor recovered the final segment of the Key to Time. Afterwards, Drax stayed on Atrios to offer his services to help rebuild. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
As with other Time Lords, his ultimate fate in light of the [[Last Great Time War]] remains a mystery.
