Biography
Original Paradise
When the Seventh Doctor arrived in Paradise Towers, Fire Escape and Bin Liner greeted him with typical Kang custom. However, they were hostile to his companion Mel Bush as they were uncertain of her allegiance. The pair took the Doctor and Mel captive and attempted to take them back to their Brainquarters but were forced to flee after the caretakers launched a raid on the Fountain of Happiness Square.
Fire Escape and the Red Kangs crossed paths with the Doctor once again when he fell through a hole into their Brainquarters and was knocked unconscious. When the Doctor awoke he informed the Kangs that he had been chased by cleaners, and Bin Liner scouted the area to check if there were any nearby. As the coast was clear the Doctor settled and produced a can of Fizzade from a vending machine, which initially frightened the Kangs, although Bin Liner and Fire Escape were persuaded to have a drink and were delighted by the taste. The Doctor showed the Kangs an information video about the Great Architect Kroagnon.
Ultimately the Caretakers tracked the Doctor to the Brainquarters and he gave himself up to be captured in order to allow the Kangs to escape. Bin Liner and several other Red Kangs broke into the Chief Caretaker's office and tied up the Deputy and his fellow gards, allowing the Doctor to escape. Returning to the Brainquarters once the Doctor and the Red Kangs were in the middle of forming a plan to defeat Kroagnon when the Blue Kangs broke in. The Doctor convinced both sides to work together and he headed into the basement with Bin Liner, Fire Escape and Drinking Fountain and the group witnessed Kroagnon's use of corpoelectroscopy to take over the body of the Chief Caretaker.
When the Doctor was attacked by another cleaner, the Kangs pulled him free and fled to Floor 304 where they allied themselves with the Rezzies, Caretakers and an Inbetween known as Pex. Fire Escape and the other Kangs began setting traps for Kroagnon but he arrived too early forcing Pex to sacrifice his own life to kill him. In honour of Pex's bravery, all the Kangs held a ceremony for him. Fire Escape and a Blue Kang presented the Doctor with a red and blue scarf as a parting gift, making him an honorary Kang. (TV: Paradise Towers)
Kroagnon survived Pex's sacrifice and managed to will himself to survival by taking over Pex's dying body. Aware that the body would soon fail him, Kroagnon sought to use a cloning machine in order to create himself the perfect new body. However, Fire Escape and Bin Liner fond the tank first and it imprinted upon them birthing a daughter, Viv-2, in their image. Kroagnon decided to allow the two Kangs to raise Viv-2 into adulthood where he would then take over her body for himself. (COMIC: Paradise Found) She and Bin Liner raised their daughter on tales of Kroagnon and Pex. (COMIC: Paradise Before)
Virtual Paradise
When General Favalan arrived at Paradise Towers she made clear to the residents that without Kroagnon's designs Paradise Towers would not be able to properly function as the safe haven that it was intended to be. She offered a solution that all of the residents would be allowed to enter into a virtual reality version of Paradise Towers and be blissfully aware of the truth as she and her soldiers took care of them. The residents agreed to these terms and were placed into stasis. However, they were unaware that Favalan had turned to cannibalism and intended to slowly butcher the population like cattle.
