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

Biography

Youth

Drax attended Prydon Academy with the Doctor in the Class of 92. They took the tech course together. Though his practical work was satisfactory, he failed his exams, done in by temporal theory. (TV: The Armageddon Factor). Whilst he was at the academy, Drax became a member of the Deca and had his own self-made skimmer. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties)

As a Renegade

Drax had already escaped from Gallifrey when the Doctor was expelled from the Time Lord Academy.

When Drax's TARDIS suffered a breakdown in its hyperbolics, Drax was stranded on Earth. He engaged in criminal activity to procure replacement parts and did time in Brixton prison.

Later, the Black Guardian's agent, the Shadow, imprisoned Drax and forced him to build and maintain a giant computer called Mentalis on the deserted planet Zeos. Mentalis carried out a war against the neighboring planet of Atrios.

Four hundred and fifty years later in their personal timelines, Drax and the Doctor met again. While searching for the last segment of the Key to Time, the Fourth Doctor and Romana arrived on Zeos. Drax, under the Shadow's orders, reluctantly led the Doctor into a trap. Easily seeing through Drax's pretense, the Doctor talked him into joining forces against the Shadow. With Drax's assistance, the Doctor recovered the final segment of the Key to Time. Afterward, Drax stayed on Atrios to help rebuild that world. (TV: The Armageddon Factor)
