Okdel L'da
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Okdel was the leader of a Silurian tribe who went into hibernation beneath Wenley Moor. Unlike most of his kind, Okdel was fond of mammals. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters) Along with Morka and K'to, Okdel awoke in the 20th century. He had developed a relationship with the human Dr John Quinn. The Third Doctor convinced him that the Silurians could share Earth peacefully with mankind. When he realised that Morka was trying to wipe out humanity with a virus, he freed the Doctor and gave him the means to find an antidote. He was then killed by Morka. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
Behind the scenes
- Okdel was not named on-screen, only in the novelisation and in PROSE: The Scales of Injustice. He was listed as Old Silurian in the credits.
