'''Drax''' was a [[renegade Time Lord]] with a knack for tinkering and [[engineering]]. He knew [[the Doctor]] before either had left their home [[planet]] of [[Gallifrey]].

In an [[alternate timeline]] Drax cooperated alongside [[the Master]], [[the Monk]], and [[the Rani]] to try to destroy the world using a DNA recombinator, turning the human race into a [[gestalt]] [[consciousness]] which could be used as a weapon to conquer the universe.

Shortly after regenerating, Drax gained the map to [[Altrazar]].

Needing a fall guy, Drax conned the [[Fourth Doctor]] into stealing the limiter, which was what allowed his future incarnations to successfully cooperate on this scheme and others in the first place.


During his ten-year prison stay, Drax picked up Brixton's local accent and idioms, which remained part of his speech patterns after he left Earth and resumed his travels. This cockney accent would last for a number of regenerations, but by the twelfth, it would be gone. When Drax met [[K9 Mark II]] and marvelled at the "little tin dog", K9 noted Drax's silliness. Although Drax was not above criminal activity and weapons dealing for personal gain, he displayed a sense of what was morally right and bemoaned having to assist the Shadow in his schemes. He was quick to assure others that he didn't involve himself with armaments on a regular basis. The Doctor talked him round into joining him against the Shadow without much trouble.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'')


Despite some differences, the incarnations of Drax seemed more amiable to one another compared to cases whenever the Doctors met, and despite the dangers of interacting with their own past and future they planned for events that happened in their future, such as having a female incarnation and later reminiscing about the gender switch being worth it.

Drax's third incarnation was, much like his predecessor, a renegade Time Lord with a knack for tinkering and engineering. He hatched a con with his various future incarnations, raiding the most secure safe-house in history, using the Fourth Doctor and Romana II as pawns. (AUDIO: The Trouble with Drax)


Biography

Shortly after regenerating, Drax gained the map to Altrazar. In order to stage a con that involved the use of all ten of his future incarnations, Drax required a Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter to avoid temporal catastrophe. Needing a fall guy, Drax conned the Fourth Doctor into stealing the limiter, which was what allowed his future incarnations to successfully cooperate on this scheme and others in the first place.

By the time the Doctor and Romana II realised that Drax must have known he would have been arrested over different incarnations, they realised the truth about McCormick and her men, and by the time they returned all of Drax's incarnations had escaped in their TARDIS. (AUDIO: The Trouble with Drax)

Personality

Drax showed great technological aptitude. However, he could not grasp temporal theory and failed the class. While Drax could not grasp temporal theory, he had worked out enough about the Blinovitch Limitation effect limiter to know its limitations and also to create an endless paradox with his various future incarnations to possess the device and also commit numerous crimes with two or more of his future lives.

He also showed disrespect towards the Laws of Time. (AUDIO: The Trouble with Drax)
