| == Biography ==
| |
| === Youth ===
| |
| Like all [[Time Lord]]s, Drax was taken from his family at the age of eight for the selection process in the [[Drylands]]. Staring into the [[Untempered Schism]] as part of a Time Lord initiation rite, Drax reacted by running away from what he saw in the Schism. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Drax attended the [[Prydonian Academy]] with [[First Doctor|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 (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'')

|
| |
| === As a renegade ===
| |
| Drax had already escaped from Gallifrey when the Doctor was expelled from the [[Time Lord Academy]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'') Unlike other renegades like his contemporaries, [[the Master]] and [[the Rani]], Drax purchased [[Drax's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] instead of stealing one. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Armageddon Factor (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Armageddon Factor]]'')

| |
| Upon becoming a renegade, Drax travelled the [[universe]], doing repair and maintenance work in the fields of [[cybernetics]], guidance systems and armaments. He also committed cons. 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 for over ten years where he acquired a [[Cockney English|Cockney accent]] to help him survive inside, which would later become a trademark through several of his regenerations, though the Twelfth Drax would tell [[Romana II]] he had lost it a few regenerations ago, from that incarnation's perspective, during a con.
| |
|
| |
| 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 neighbouring planet of [[Atrios]].
| |
|
| |
| 450 years later in their personal timelines, Drax, then in his second incarnation, and the Doctor met again. While searching for the last segment of the [[Key to Time]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana I]] arrived on Zeos. Drax, under the Shadow's orders, reluctantly led the Doctor into a trap. Drax claimed he hadn't expected the one looking for the Key to be the Doctor. Briefly, the two reminisced though at first, the Doctor needed a moment to remember him. Easily seeing through Drax's pretence, the Doctor talked him into joining forces against the Shadow. With Drax's assistance, the Doctor recovered [[Astra of Atrios|the final segment of the Key to Time]]. Afterwards, Drax stayed on Atrios to help rebuild that world. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'') During that time Drax had hacked the directional unit of the Doctor's TARDIS.

| |
| Later, after he had regenerated for the second time, the Third Drax gained the map to [[Altrazar]]. The Fourth Doctor was later used as a fall guy in a con involving eleven of Drax's incarnations, from the third to thirteenth incarnations, who used a [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]] [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter|limiter]]. The ninth Drax was using the identity "Galdron Cabot" (a criminal-turned-businessman), the eighth — "Fleur McCormick" (galactic police officer, the only female incarnation of Drax), the twelfth — "Charles Kirkland" (businessman and Cabot's rival), and the fifth — "Rosser" (Kirkland's butler). The fourth, sixth, seventh, tenth, eleventh and thirteenth incarnations were Inspector McCormick's "half a dozen best men". The Doctor was conned into stealing the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter]], which was what allowed so many Draxes to successfully cooperate on this scheme and others in the first place. By the time the Doctor and Romana realised that Drax must have known he would have been arrested over different incarnations, they realised the truth about McCormick and her men, and by the time they returned all of Drax's incarnations had escaped in their TARDIS.
