Adrian Fairley was a British astronaut and a member of an international mission to Mars in the 1970s. During one flight to the surface, something went wrong and his shuttle crashed onto the planet, but his broken body was discovered and repaired by the Zoltans. The ensuing peaceful contact between the two species made Fairley a celebrity and an enthusiastic spokesman for the Zoltans. Secretly, the Zoltans had obtained power over him when they operated on him, and used him to breed Zoltan soldiers to eliminate prominent anti-Zoltan persons, thus facilitating their colonization of Earth. After eleven such deaths, Adrian himself died of no apparent cause, with a defiant smile on his face. The Third Doctor speculated that he died defying the power the Zoltans had over him.
