Appearance

Fadros Pallujikaa wore red robes of leadership, as well as trophies of his victories. He also wore a rib from his wife, Haxan Craw, as a marriage bondage. (COMIC: The Widow's Curse)

Biography

In 2006 he led the Tribe into Earth's airspace above London, specifically Powell Estate. He saw through Rose Tyler's subterfuge when she claimed to have the authority to order the invaders to depart.

Fadros Pallujikaa duels with the Tenth Doctor (TV: The Christmas Invasion)

He duelled with the newly-regenerated Doctor and cut off his hand which, owing to the after-effects of regeneration, grew back. This allowed the Doctor to defeat him. When the Doctor's back was turned, the leader tried again to kill him again but the Doctor used a satsuma from his borrowed dressing gown to hit a button which sent the leader falling to his death. The Doctor justified his action by stating, "No second chances. I'm that sort of man." (TV: The Christmas Invasion)

Later his fight was watched by Hax, who wanted revenge on the Doctor for his death. (COMIC: The Widow's Curse)

The Great Intelligence mentioned, among others, the death of "the leader of the Sycorax" at the hands of the Doctor to dispute Madame Vastra's claim that the Doctor was never "blood-soaked". (TV: The Name of the Doctor)

Behind the scenes

  • On-screen credit for the character lists him as "Sycorax Leader".
  • Fadros Pallujikaa says his name in The Christmas Invasion, in a Sycoraxic line that translated into English as "Now will the tribal leader step forward". This may mean Fadros Pallujikaa was a title, not a name.
