Chancellery Guard[[edit] | [edit source]]

Following Omega's attempt to bond with the Fifth Doctor, Maxil was ordered by Borusa to recall the TARDIS to Gallifrey and bring the Doctor and Nyssa before the High Council. He did so, although he had to shoot the Doctor when he attempted to escape, and subsequently detained the two of them until the Doctor's execution, after which he realised that the execution had been sabotaged using Borusa's codes. He sealed the Capitol and led a search for the Doctor, but, after Hedin was exposed as Omega's accomplice, Borusa allowed the Doctor to live.
