| '''Drax''' was a [[renegade Time Lord]] with a knack for tinkering and [[engineering]]. He knew [[the Doctor]] before either had left their home [[planet]] of [[Gallifrey]]. | | The '''Ninth Drax''', under the pseudonym of "'''Galdron Cabot'''", pretended to be a criminal-turned-businessman who rivaled [[Twelfth Drax|Charles Kirkland]]. At this point, Drax's memories were starting to dim due to age. |
|
| |
|
| == Alternate timeline ==
| |
| In an [[alternate timeline]] Drax cooperated alongside [[the Master]], [[the Monk]], and [[the Rani]] to try to destroy the world using a DNA recombinator, turning the human race into a [[gestalt]] [[consciousness]] which could be used as a weapon to conquer the universe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'')
| |
|
| |
|
| == Personality ==
| |
| Drax showed great technological aptitude. However, he could not grasp [[temporal theory]] and failed the class. While Drax could not grasp temporal theory, he had worked out enough about the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter|Blinovitch Limitation effect limiter]] to know its limitations and also to create an endless paradox from his third incarnation onwards to his thirteenth to possess the device and also commit numerous crimes with two or more of his future lives.
| |
|
| |
|
| He also showed disrespect towards the [[Laws of Time]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'')
| | In reality, the Ninth Drax was plotting with ten of his incarnations to make the [[Fourth Doctor]] raid the most secure safe-house in history in order to retrieve a [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter]]. |
|
| |
|
| During his ten-year prison stay, Drax picked up Brixton's local accent and idioms, which remained part of his speech patterns after he left Earth and resumed his travels. This cockney accent would last for a number of regenerations, but by the twelfth, it would be gone. When Drax met [[K9 Mark II]] and marvelled at the "little tin dog", K9 noted Drax's silliness. Although Drax was not above criminal activity and weapons dealing for personal gain, he displayed a sense of what was morally right and bemoaned having to assist the Shadow in his schemes. He was quick to assure others that he didn't involve himself with armaments on a regular basis. The Doctor talked him round into joining him against the Shadow without much trouble. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]], ''[[AUDIO]]'': [[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'')
| | After the Doctor and Romana discovered their plan, they went to the ''[[Rutan's Tendril]]'', where they knew the four Draxes would be, and called [[Eighth Drax|inspector Fleur McCormick]] to arrest them. However, by the time they realised that Drax must have known he would have been arrested over different incarnations, they realised the truth about McCormick and her men, and by the time they returned all of Drax's incarnations had escaped in [[Drax's TARDIS|their TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'') |
|
| |
|
| Despite some differences, the incarnations of Drax seemed more amiable to one another compared to cases whenever the Doctors met, and despite the dangers of interacting with their own past and future they planned for events that happened in their future, such as having a female incarnation and later reminiscing about the gender switch being worth it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'')

| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| * Although Drax's TARDIS is somewhere around in ''[[The Armageddon Factor (TV story)|The Armageddon Factor]]'', only components from it are seen on-screen. The interactive ''[[Make Your Own Adventure with Doctor Who]]'' book [[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Search for the Doctor (novel)|Search for the Doctor]]'' included Drax as a character, and described his TARDIS as taking the shape of a convertible [[car]], the registration plate of which read: "TARDIS".
| |
| * According to [[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Dalek: Spoof Scenes (short story)|Dalek: Spoof Scenes]]'', in a version of events where the [[Last Great Time War]] was fought against the [[Drashig]]s rather than the [[Dalek]]s, the [[Ninth Doctor]] cited Drax as one of the people who'd perished in the War, alongside [[Damon (Arc of Infinity)|Damon]], [[Spandrell]] and [[the Monk|the Meddling Monk]].
