History[[edit] | [edit source]]

This Cyber-Leader among the Cybermen that ended up in 1851. After establishing a base in London, the Cyber-Leader forged an alliance with Mercy Hartigan, using her to gather the child labour necessary to build the CyberKing, and in return promising her liberation, and exception from Cyber-conversion.

The Cyber-Leader eventually betrayed Hartigan, placing her in the CyberKing'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 decided to make her own race of Cybermen. The Cyber-Leader objected and attempted to remove her from the throne, but Miss Hartigan used her new powers to destroy the Cyber-Leader for treason.
