Drax attended [[Prydon Academy]] with the the [[First Doctor]] in the Class of 92. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'') Drax and the Doctor belonged to [[the Deca]], a social group of rebellious students at Prydon Academy.

Upon going renegade, Drax travelled the universe doing repair and maintenance work in the fields of cybernetics, guidance systems, and armaments. When Drax's [[TARDIS]] suffered a breakdown in its [[hyperbolics]], Drax was caught on [[Earth]] engaging in criminal activity to procure replacement parts and did time in a [[Brixton]] prison. | Upon going renegade, Drax travelled the universe doing repair and maintenance work in the fields of cybernetics, guidance systems, and armaments.

During the the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s search for the sixth and final segment of the [[Key to Time]], the Doctor and [[Romana I|Romana]] arrived on the planet [[Atrios]], which was at war with their neighbouring [[planet]] [[Zeos]].

The Shadow imprisoned Drax and forced him to build and maintain Mentalis for him, as well as reluctantly lead the Doctor into a trap. Easily seeing through Drax's pretence, the Doctor talked him into joining forces against the Shadow. With Drax's assistance, the Doctor recovered [[Astra of Atrios|the final segment of the Key to Time]]. Afterward, Drax stayed on Atrios to help rebuild.

Drax showed extreme technological aptitude. As a youth on Gallifrey, Drax had a [[skimmer]] he had built himself.

During his 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. When Drax met [[K9 Mark II]] and marvelled at the "little tin dog," K9 made note of 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. The Doctor was able to talk him round to joining him against the Shadow without much trouble.
