Bokka K'to was a Silurian scientist, who, along with several others of his race, went into suspended animation under Wenley Moor.
He was the creator of the Silurian virus. (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice) According to one account, this Silurian scientist was Icthar, though it acknowledged reports that his Silurian name was also spelled K'to. Having survived the Wenley Moor Affair, Icthar went on to orchestrate the Sea Base 4 incident in which he perished in 2084. (PROSE: The Universal Databank [+]Loading...["The Universal Databank (reference book)"]) However, other historians who acknowledged the physical differences between Silurians indicated that the Silurians of Wenley Moor and those who attacked Sea Base 4 were two different subspecies, Early Silurian and Middle Silurian respectively.
