Dexel Dynes: Difference between revisions

Dynes first met the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Peri]] when they became involved in the search for the legendary treasure of [[Rovan Cartovall]], which had been missing for five thousand years. Dynes followed the [[Marquis te Rosscarrino]] and his niece [[Arnella]], accompanied by Professor [[Thorrin]] and his assistant [[Willis Brockwell]], to the planet [[Gelsandor]], where it was believed the treasure was hidden. Dynes was allowed to record the others as they went on a quest to prove their worthiness to receive the treasure, the [[Gelsandoran]]s wishing to observe them to better understand humanity. However, at the quest's end, Dynes was left alone on the planet as the others either died or left on their own, lacking any reason for his time away as the films from his cameras had been removed; the Gelsandorans had allowed him to observe the hunt, but not to broadcast it for entertainment. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ultimate Treasure]]'')

Some time after this, Dynes tried to rebuild his reputation. He recorded the exploits of [[Glavis Judd]], a tyrannical dictator who subtly took over his home planet before going on to conquer others. Judd claimed he was "freeing" the people of these planets from oppressive leaders. In reality, Judd often created the situations he set out to 'solve', but Dynes didn't care so long as he got a violent story as a result. Judd's expansion was forcibly put on hold when he attempted to "liberate" the planet of [[Esselven]] and the rulers fled before he could capture them, leaving him facing the problem of a safe containing all of the information necessary to run the planet. The safe was biologically locked. It would only open to a member of the royal family and so securely designed that any attempt to force it would destroy all the contents.
