Sil was a Mentor from Thoros Beta. He was actively involved in various unethical business schemes.
Biography
As representative of the Galatron Mining Corporation on the planetoid Varos, Sil lied about the value of Zeiton-7 to get the cheapest price for it. He was also interested in buying and distributing recordings of the various tortures which passed for entertainment on Varos. These schemes ended when the Sixth Doctor informed the Governor of Varos of the true value of the commodity. Sil hoped to secure rights to videos of the torture of criminals on Varos (already served up on television as entertainment for Varos' oppressed citizens) and market them on other worlds. (DW: Vengeance on Varos)
Prior to 2379, Sil allied himself with the Ice Warriors to profit from their invasion of the planet Magnus, which he hoped to make have a colder climate to suit the Ice Warriors, while he also made a profit selling the natives warm clothes. (BFA: Mission to Magnus)
In 2379, on his homeworld of Thoros Beta, Sil became involved in weapons dealing with the primitive peoples of the planet Krontep. The Sixth Doctor's personality had changed meanwhile, so they worked together, the Doctor using his knowledge of future history to know the best investment prospects. While not explicitly stated, Sil was presumably killed by King Yrcanos during his rampage in Crozier's laboratory. (DW: Mindwarp)
Personality
Sil once said "There is nothing I more enjoy than human suffering." (DW: Mindwarp) He was extremely self-centred, greedy and manipulative, as shown in his attempt to govern Varos. (DW: Vengeance on Varos)
Habits and quirks
Sil liked to eat marsh minnows. (DW: Mindwarp)
Appearance and Behaviour
Like all Mentors, Sill looked like a slug with humanoid features. He had a dark brown colouration. (DW: Vengeance on Varos)
Behind the scenes
- Sil's hand mirror and food dish were kept as stock props by the Doctor Who production company.
