Crozier was born after [[2339]] ([[PROSE]]: | === Early life === | ||
Crozier was born after [[2339]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (novelisation)}}) and, at an unusually young age, became a [[doctor]] and a scientist. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) By his late thirties, he had a daughter named [[Cordelia Crozier|Cordelia]], who followed in his footsteps and became a scientist herself. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Antidote to Oblivion (audio story)}}) | |||
At some point, [[Halogi-Kari]] employed Crozier to augment the [[brain]]s of the [[Ratt]]s to act as hosts for the [[Wraith (At Childhood's End)|Wraiths]], though this was unsuccessful.

=== Helping Kiv === | |||
Crozier was summoned to [[Thoros-Beta]] to help [[Kiv|Lord Kiv]] in [[2379]] in return for funding for his work, also being threatened with [[death]] should he be unsuccessful in saving the [[Mentor]]'s life. He was assisted by Kiv's most trusted servant, [[Kani|the Matrona]]. In his attempts to discover how to [[transference|transfer]] Kiv's mind into another body, he experimented upon [[the Raak]], making it docile against its nature. He also attempted to alter [[Yrcanos]]'s mind to the financial benefit of the Mentors. | Crozier was summoned to [[Thoros-Beta]] to help [[Kiv|Lord Kiv]] in [[2379]] in return for funding for his work, also being threatened with [[death]] should he be unsuccessful in saving the [[Mentor]]'s life.

When the [[Sixth Doctor]] arrived on Thoros-Beta, Crozier subjected him to the helmet to interrogate him. This affected the Doctor's personality and seemingly made him sympathetic to the Mentors, becoming Crozier's assistant. According to the [[The Matrix|Matrix]], Crozier seemed to successfully transfer Kiv's mind into the brain of [[Peri Brown]], after which Yrcanos killed both her ([[TV]]: | When the [[Sixth Doctor]] arrived on Thoros-Beta, Crozier subjected him to the helmet to interrogate him.

According to the [[The Matrix|Matrix]], Crozier seemed to successfully transfer Kiv's mind into the brain of [[Peri Brown]], after which Yrcanos killed both her ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) and Crozier. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (novelisation)}}) However, the [[Tremas Master]] later claimed that Yrcanos saved Peri from the experiment, with Crozier's fate left unknown.

Due to the [[Time Lord]]s, multiple timelines existed, ([[AUDIO]]: | Due to the [[Time Lord]]s, multiple timelines existed, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) including one in which the transfer was a failure and Crozier was killed by [[Sil]], who lied to Cordelia and told her that the Doctor was to blame. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Antidote to Oblivion (audio story)}}) In at least one timeline, Crozier's mind transference failed because his earlier interrogation of the Doctor had allowed [[Mandrake (The Widow's Assassin)|Mandrake]] to escape the Doctor's mind and enter Crozier's computer, and from there it was Mandrake's consciousness that was transferred to Peri's body, overwriting that of Kiv's.

Crozier devoted his life to perfecting the control and manipulation of behaviour. His manner was abrupt and showed a dismissal of anything and everything aside from his [[science|scientific]] passions, which included his fixation upon his study of the [[brain]]s of creatures that possessed or could be given the power of [[reason]]. He held contempt for those that he deemed to be [[barbarian]]s, including the [[Krontep]]. ([[PROSE]]: | Crozier devoted his life to perfecting the control and manipulation of behaviour.
