Kane (Dragonfire)
Kane and Xana were part of a criminal gang on the planet Proamon. Kane was exiled after capture by security forces to the cold, dark side of Svartos. Once there he became the ruler of the space trading colony Iceworld. Kane was so cold, that he could kill humans by simply touching them and would die if exposed to direct sunlight. Kane's main henchman was Belazs. Kane killed himself when the Doctor informed him that Proamon's sun had gone supernova, leaving no one else on which to take his revenge. (DW: Dragonfire)
Behind the Scenes
Originally, the character was scripted to be named Hess. However, around this time (August, 1987), the government of the Soviet Union had announced that they were no longer blocking the release of Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess on humanitarian grounds, the announcement followed by Hess' death by apparent suicide at Spandau Prison in Berlin. The news events forced a name change to Kane.
