After [[Luke Rattigan]] destroyed the [[Sontaran flagship]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Poison Sky (TV story)|The Poison Sky]]'') [[Kaagh's space pod]] was sent off course after the concussive wave from the ship hit it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran (novelisation)|The Last Sontaran]]'') It crashed on the [[planet]] [[Earth]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran (TV story)|The Last Sontaran]]'') Despite damage to the ship and exposure to G-force which might have killed him, Kaagh survived, but was badly wounded, as a piece of white hot metal had cut his left hand and some plastic shrapnel had torn through his face, from his eye to his mouth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran (novelisation)|The Last Sontaran]]'')


When [[Luke Rattigan]] destroyed the [[Sontaran flagship]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Poison Sky]]'') , Kaagh's space pod was sent off course and crashed down to the [[planet]] [[Earth]]. Despite damage to the ship and exposure to G-force which might have killed him, Kaagh survived, suffering a large scar down the right side of his face, a similar scar on his right hand, and lost a piece of his right ear. As part of the Special Assault Squad, Kaagh's purpose was to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines in order to predict and anticipate their movements.
As a member of the Special Assault Squad, Kaagh's purpose was to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines to predict and anticipate their movements. Kaagh hoped that by doing this he could make up for his fleet's failure to conquer Earth. He began a covert attempt at destroying Earth and making himself a hero: "Kaagh the Avenger", then "Kaagh the Destroyer".


Kaagh hoped that by doing this he could make up for his fleets failure to conquer Earth. He began to began a covert attempt at destroying Earth and make himself a hero, "Kaagh the Avenger", then "Kaagh the Destroyer". To this end, he used a [[neural control implant]] on Professor [[Nicholas Skinner]] and his daughter [[Lucy Skinner|Lucy]], both of whom ran Tycho, a [[radio telescope]] nearby. Kaagh planned to use the telescope to bring down Earth's many orbital satellites in a coordinated attack on the planet's nuclear power plants, which would have rendered the planet uninhabitable.
Kaagh chose to use a nearby [[radio telescope]] to control the many [[satellite]]s orbiting Earth and send them plummeting into all the nuclear power plants. He distracted Professor [[Nicholas Skinner]] and his daughter [[Lucy Skinner|Lucy]] and put them under his control with [[neural control implant]]s; he wanted the Professor to act solely on his orders, while Lucy would be a sleeper agent to help him infiltrate potential enemies who might stop him. Soon after, [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Luke Smith]], [[Maria Jackson]] and [[Clyde Langer]] arrived to investigate the "lights" in the sky. These were actually drones Kaagh had used to lure out the Skinners.


His plan was discovered by [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]], her son [[Luke Smith|Luke]] and their friends [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]] and [[Maria Jackson|Maria]]. Kaagh attempted to kill her and her young friends whom he considered as 'half-forms'. However before his plan could come to effect Kaagh was attacked in his [[probic vent]] by Maria's mother, [[Chrissie Jackson|Chrissie]] and forced to return home to Sontar in his scout-ship. However Sarah Jane suspected that he would one day return. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran]]'')
Kaagh watched from a distance, then confronted Luke and Clyde when they found his cloaked pod. However, they evaded him and brought Sarah Jane and Maria back to investigate. Kaagh revealed himself, his past and his plan of vengeance and hatred for the Doctor. Thinking two steps ahead of them, Kaagh pretended to pursue when they ran away, but soon followed them back to the telescope, where he found Sarah Jane about to disable the professor's implant with her [[sonic lipstick]]. Kaagh learned Sarah Jane was a good friend of the Doctor. He planned to take her back to [[Sontar]] to have her be punished in the Doctor's stead, after he had avenged his fleet.


===Partnership with Mrs Wormwood===
However, the children escaped and Kaagh was forced to hunt for them. He finally gave up and returned to the telescope to continue his plans. As he had expected, Kaagh captured Clyde and Maria when they tried to cut the power. However, Luke surprised him by deactivating the signal to cause the end of the world. Kaagh activated Lucy's implant and initiated Plan B. However, [[Chrissie Jackson]] arrived and stabbed his [[probic vent]] with her high heels, knocking him out and electrocuting her unconscious. After he woke, Kaagh was forced off Earth at gunpoint. Sarah Jane felt he would return. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran (TV story)|The Last Sontaran]]'')

Too ashamed to return to Sontar, Kaagh began working as a mercenary for the [[Bane]], who had found the consciousness of Horath and used Kaagh as a go between for its transportation from planet to planet. A few weeks after this he met [[Wormwood (Bane)|Mrs Wormwood]], a member of the [[Bane]] Family whom had been cast out for her actions. He found that there was a high price on her head, but she persuaded him to help her control the universe. They both plotted to become Emperors of the Galaxy.  


Mrs Wormwood travelled to Earth, closely followed by Kaagh, who came in during a siege by the Bane Kindred. He found Mrs Wormwood and killed her attackers. They then stole Luke and the [[Tunguska Scroll]], which would show them where Horath was buried. Luke escaped, but Kaagh managed to catch him. However, Mrs Wormwood was growing tired of him. In the end, she offered Luke a place at her side and double crossed Kaagh, calling him a blundering idiot. Eventually he saw the light and in a last ditch attempt at honour he threw himself and Mrs Wormwood into the portal to Horath's body. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Enemy of the Bane]]'')

Commander Kaagh, also called Kaagh the Slayer, was attached to the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet's Special Assault Squad. He was the lone survivor of a failed invasion of Earth by the Sontarans and went on to serve the Bane as a mercenary.

Biography[[edit]]

Avenging his race[[edit]]

Kaagh fully encased in his armour. (TV: The Last Sontaran)

After Luke Rattigan destroyed the Sontaran flagship, (TV: The Poison Sky) Kaagh's space pod was sent off course after the concussive wave from the ship hit it. (PROSE: The Last Sontaran) It crashed on the planet Earth. (TV: The Last Sontaran) Despite damage to the ship and exposure to G-force which might have killed him, Kaagh survived, but was badly wounded, as a piece of white hot metal had cut his left hand and some plastic shrapnel had torn through his face, from his eye to his mouth. (PROSE: The Last Sontaran)

As a member of the Special Assault Squad, Kaagh's purpose was to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines to predict and anticipate their movements. Kaagh hoped that by doing this he could make up for his fleet's failure to conquer Earth. He began a covert attempt at destroying Earth and making himself a hero: "Kaagh the Avenger", then "Kaagh the Destroyer".

Kaagh chose to use a nearby radio telescope to control the many satellites orbiting Earth and send them plummeting into all the nuclear power plants. He distracted Professor Nicholas Skinner and his daughter Lucy and put them under his control with neural control implants; he wanted the Professor to act solely on his orders, while Lucy would be a sleeper agent to help him infiltrate potential enemies who might stop him. Soon after, Sarah Jane Smith, Luke Smith, Maria Jackson and Clyde Langer arrived to investigate the "lights" in the sky. These were actually drones Kaagh had used to lure out the Skinners.

Kaagh watched from a distance, then confronted Luke and Clyde when they found his cloaked pod. However, they evaded him and brought Sarah Jane and Maria back to investigate.

Partnership with Mrs Wormwood[[edit]]

Kaagh with Mrs Wormwood. (TV: Enemy of the Bane)

Too ashamed to return to Sontar, Kaagh worked as a mercenary for the Bane. They had found the consciousness of Horath and used Kaagh as a go-between for its transportation from planet to planet. A few weeks after this he met Mrs Wormwood, a member of the Bane family cast out for her actions. He learned there was a high price on her head, but she persuaded him to help her control the universe, which would be more fulfilling than simply serving the Bane. They plotted to become Emperors of the galaxy.

Mrs Wormwood travelled to Earth, closely followed by Kaagh, who came in during a siege by the Bane Kindred. He found Mrs Wormwood and killed one of her attackers (while she killed the others). They stole Luke and the Tunguska Scroll, which would show them where Horath was buried. Luke escaped, but Kaagh caught him. However, Mrs Wormwood was growing tired of him. (TV: Enemy of the Bane)

Betraying Mrs Wormwood[[edit]]

In the end, she offered Luke a place at her side and double-crossed Kaagh, calling him a blundering idiot. (TV: Enemy of the Bane) This made him realise how far he had fallen from grace (TV: SJAF 3) and, in a last ditch attempt at regaining his honour, he threw Mrs Wormwood and himself into the portal leading to Horath. It exploded, trapping them in another dimension. (TV: Enemy of the Bane)

Kaagh displayed more advanced Sontaran technology than seen during the ATMOS factory attack. He had a more compact blaster weapon, which had settings, allowing him to either stun (TV: The Last Sontaran) or kill his target, with an additional option of disintegration.

He employed neural implants, as opposed to the hypnosis Sontarans more commonly used, and used drones resembling large plasmic spheres as scouts, but also had attacking ability.
