Cyber-Leader (The Next Doctor)
The Cyber-Lord was the commander of the Cybermen, a form of Cyber-Leader.
Appearance
The Cyber-Lord had a suit similar to standard Cybermen. Its helmet, however, had black handle bars, a black face plate and a transparent "window" through which its brain could be seen, similar to the Cyber-Controller. (DW: The Next Doctor)
History
A Cyber-Lord was among the Cybermen that ended up in 1851. After establishing a base in London, the Cyber-Lord forged an alliance with Mercy Hartigan, using her to gather the child labor necessary to build the Cyber-King, and in return promising her liberation, and exception from Cyber-conversion.
The Cyber-Lord eventually betrayed Hartigan, placing her in the Cyber-King's control throne, and explaining that by becoming Cyber-King, Hartigan would receive her liberation from the anger, hatred and rage in her mind. However, Hartigan proved too strong-willed for the conversion; her mind was too powerful to control, and she used her new powers to destroy the Cyber-Lord. (DW: The Next Doctor)
Another Cyber-Lord was seen at a GSO Geological Base in the North Pole, in suspended animation with the rest of the army. They were stopped by the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Chisholm. However, they were Cybermen of an unknown origin. (VG: Blood of the Cybermen)
