Profile
Mark II was constructed as a replacement for the Doctor after Mark I, decided to stay on Gallifrey with Leela (DW: The Invasion of Time)
This version of K-9 accompanied the Doctor and new companion on their quest to locate the segments of the Key to Time (DW: The Ribos Operation), however the swampy terrain of Delta III made it impossible for him to accompany them there. At the conclusion of the quest, the Shadow turned K-9 to his evil will, during which time K-9 assumed a sinister personality. (DW: The Armageddon Factor)
The Doctor found that K-9 had contracted laryngitis and had lost his voice as a result of this. K-9 was left in the TARDIS while the Doctor and Romana battled the Daleks and Davros (DW: Destiny of the Daleks). During a subsequent adventure, it remained patiently in the TARDIS, which would imply that his voice had not yet returned. (DW: City of Death)
After the return of his voice, it sounded quite different and remained so for a number of adventures (DW: The Creature from the Pit). However, later the familiar voice returned. (DW: The Leisure Hive)
Damaged by the time winds, K-9 Mark II could not cross back into N-Space with the Doctor, so decided to stay behind at the Gateway with Romana, to help her free the remaining Tharils from slavery. (DW: Warriors' Gate)
He was later repaired, and accompanied Romana when she returned to N-Space. During Romana's term as President of Gallifrey, K-9 Mark II served as her aide and advisor. (NA: Lungbarrow) He may have also shared an adventure with Romana and later incarnation of the Doctor at some point after this (WC: Shada)
