Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]
Thorne worked for the Department (TV: Liberation [+]Loading...["Liberation (TV story)"]) and was familiar with June Turner, whose claims that the Department needed to be more open and transparent he always rejected. (TV: Lost Library of Ukko [+]Loading...["Lost Library of Ukko (TV story)"])
As prison governor[[edit] | [edit source]]
Whilst working as governor of Dauntless Prison (TV: Liberation [+]Loading...["Liberation (TV story)"]) Thorne agreed to work with Lomax to bring the Korven to Earth to conquer the planet, wanting to be on the winning side of the conflict. As part of the agreement, he was implanted with Meron DNA which allowed him to turn his right hand into that of a Meron and also made him vulnerable to the cry of a Jixen.
Lomax's plan was for Alistair Gryffen to repair a damaged Space-Time Manipulator which Thorne could the exploit to bring the Korven army to Earth through a gateway. Additionally, Lomax wanted K9's regeneration unit and the DNA of various aliens encountered by the Department to create a creature, Trojan. (TV: The Eclipse of the Korven [+]Loading...["The Eclipse of the Korven (TV story)"]) Numerous aliens encountered by the Department were incarcerated in Dauntless Prison.
A Jixen went to Dauntless Prison in search of Merons and was followed by Starkey and Darius Pike, whom Thorne had imprisoned with Mr Wiffy without checking them for communication equipment. June commanded Thorne not to harm either of them, reminding him of her superior position, and ordered him to let her out of his office after he locked them both in there to hide from the Jixen. The Jixen's cry caused his hand to transform into that of a Meron, which went unnoticed, and he swore that June would pay when she declared that his time at the prison was over.
The Department's treatment of aliens at Dauntless Prison was leaked to the media and the prison was shut down as a result. (TV: Liberation [+]Loading...["Liberation (TV story)"])

Thorne saw the potential in using an Ukkan library card held by the Department's Alien Technology Inventory as a prison for those with life sentences to solve the problem of prison overcrowding and withdrew it, leaving it in his office and holding an open day to trick Starkey and Darius into breaking in and being trapped inside it.
