Drax did jail time in Brixton on Earth, where some of the local accent rubbed off. When the Doctor's search for the sixth and final segment of the Key to Time, the Doctor and Romana arrived on the planet Atrios, which was at war with their neighbouring planet Zeos. In reality, the planet Zeos was deserted save for a giant computer called Mentalis, which was controlling the war. The true enemy was a third planet called the Planet of Evil, ruled by The Shadow.
The Shadow had imprisoned Drax and made him work for him. He agreed to help the Doctor. With his assistance, The Doctor recovered the final segment of the Key to Time. Afterwards, Drax stayed on Atrios to offer his services to help rebuild. (DW: The Armageddon Factor)
As with other Time Lords, his ultimate fate in light of the Last Great Time War remains a mystery.
Behind the Scenes

He and K-9 helped you defeat Omega and rescue The Sixth Doctor. In this book his TARDIS was in the shape of a convertible car, the number plate of which read "TARDIS."
