Solomon was a 24th century trader whose ship was intercepted by a Silurian Ark which had crossed his route. He sent out a distress signal and was picked up by the Silurians. He discovered that they were transporting dinosaurs upon their Ark and quickly set about taking them for his own. He ordered his two robots to wake the Silurians from stasis in small groups and then dispatched them into space.
However, he realised later that the ship had reset its course back to where it came from Earth. When the Eleventh Doctor arrived, he realised that he finally had a means of changing course and of repairing his legs, which had been mauled by Velociraptors. The Doctor repaired his legs, but then Solomon betrayed him, demanding for the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, otherwise his two Robot Mercenaries would blast the Doctor and his companions with their lasers. The Doctor obliged after Solomon's Robots killed the Triceratops, and Solomon took Nefertiti to his small space vessel in a hope to escape, as Earth had locked missiles onto the ship. He failed to demagnetise and needed the Doctor's aid.
The Doctor returned but shut down the Robots and placed the homing device in Solomon's ship, so that the missiles would hit it instead. The Doctor took Nefertiti and demagnetised the ship, allowing it to fly out of the Ark. Solomon was then blasted to pieces with his ship.
