Biography
Morka stubbornly believed that his own race was superior, and rejected the notion of sharing Earth with the humans. He went behind the back of Okdel and released a human prisoner who had been infected with a deadly disease engineered by the Silurians.
Believing that his leader had failed him, Morka killed Okdel and set about reawakening his species to reclaim Earth. After being tricked into going back into hibernation, Morka opted to stay behind when there were only a few pods left, willingly giving leadership of the Silurian race to K'to, who had assisted Morka in his plans.
Angry that the Doctor had tricked him, Morka tried to kill him when he returned to the Silurian base. However, the Brigadier arrived at the scene, shooting and wounding Morka.
Morka tried to revive one of the Silurians from hibernation, but was killed when their base was blown up by UNIT. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
Behind the scenes
- Morka was not named on-screen, only in the novelisation and in the novel The Scales of Injustice. He was listed as "Young Silurian" in the credits.
