Drax had already escaped from Gallifrey when the Doctor was expelled from the [[Time Lord Academy]].

Upon becoming a renegade, Drax travelled the [[universe]], doing repair and maintenance work in the fields of [[cybernetics]], guidance systems and armaments. He also committed cons. When [[Drax's TARDIS]] suffered a breakdown in its [[hyperbolics]], Drax was stranded on [[Earth]]. He engaged in criminal activity to procure replacement parts and did time in [[Brixton]] prison for over ten years where he acquired a Cockney accent to help him survive inside, which would later become a trademark through several of his regenerations. | Upon becoming a renegade, Drax travelled the [[universe]], doing repair and maintenance work in the fields of [[cybernetics]], guidance systems and armaments.

Later, the [[Black Guardian]]'s agent, [[the Shadow]], imprisoned Drax and forced him to build and maintain a giant [[computer]] called [[Mentalis]] on the deserted [[planet]] [[Zeos]]. Mentalis carried out a war against the neighbouring planet of [[Atrios]]. | Later, the [[Black Guardian]]'s agent, [[the Shadow]], imprisoned Drax and forced him to build and maintain a giant [[computer]] called [[Mentalis]] on the deserted [[planet]] [[Zeos]].

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 incarnations onwards to his thirteenth to possess the device and also commit numerous crimes with two or more of his future lives. | Drax showed great technological aptitude.

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.

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.
