Assuming a Human disguise and alias in the form of Victor Kennedy, the creature known as the Abzorbaloff absorbed his victims' memories and consciousness into himself.
Profile
"Abzorbaloff" is not the actual name of the species, but was coined independently by Elton Pope and the Doctor. The alien was seen to approve of the term, however. Other names thrown at him by the Doctor and Elton included "Abzorbatron", "Abzorbaklon", "Abzorbatrix" and "Abzorbalot".
Circa 2007, the Abzorbaloff lived the lifestyle of a wealthy Human gentleman named Victor Kennedy. When he discovered the Doctor's picture on LINDA's website ([[TW}}: Tardisode 10 the Abzorbaloff recruited them to try to locate the Doctor with the aid of Torchwood files that he had somehow obtained.
Feining in common with the group, an admiration for this mystery figure, the Abzorbaloff picked off members of LINDA one by one until he could acquire his real quarry. He planned to absorb the Doctor's memories and knowledge. He was defeated when the remnants of the absorbed members of LINDA absorbed rallied together to pull him apart from the inside. When Pope then broke the cane, the Abzorbaloff's limitation field inside it was destroyed. This caused his absorption ability to go out of control, and his body to collapse into a gooey puddle. The remnants then seeped into the ground.
Abilities
The physical absortion process was begun by a simple touch and was irreversible. The faces of his victims could be seen embedded in his flesh and retain their identity and consciousness for several days at least, but are also able to access the creature's own thoughts. As noteed, the Absorbaloff also required the use of a limitation field (disguised as part of Kennedy's cane or the can itself) to keep his absorption ability in check.
Origins
Clom, the creature's home planet, is the sister planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius. Despite a passing resemblance to them, the Abzorbaloff spoke of the Raxacoricofallapatorians with contempt.
Behind the Scenes
The basic design for the Abzorbaloff, and its name, came from a drawing by a 9 year old, William Granthan, an entrant in a competition to design a monster for Doctor Who. The on-screen Abzorbaloff remained mostly faithful to the drawing with a few changes. The drawing decipted the Abzorbaloff as about the size of a building, rather than Human-sized.
