Kreel (Way of the Burryman): Difference between revisions

Kreel was a [[CyberMondan]], who along with an [[Cyberman (Monsters in Metropolis)|unidentified Cyberman]], were sent from [[Mondas]] to find other planets with lifeforms compatible for [[Cyber-conversion]]. They failed to find any such worlds before a [[time storm]] ravaged their [[Cyber-ship (Way of the Burryman)|Cyber-ship]], causing them to be separated. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Way of the Burryman (audio story)|Way of the Burryman]]'') While Kreel's partner was sent to [[1925]] [[Berlin]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Monsters in Metropolis (audio story)|Monsters in Metropolis]]''), Kreel ended up in [[Edinburgh]] during the late [[19th century]]. Driven insane and desiring a "[[family]]", Kreel proceeded to convert [[Death|deceased]] workers who were building a bridge over the [[River Forth]] into a [[Forth Generation|new generation]] of [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], who remained in hibernation within the bridge. Over a [[century]] later, Kreel was awoken in the [[2000s]] when the [[Ninth Doctor]] accidentally purged the new army, the Forth Generation, of their original memories. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Way of the Burryman (audio story)|Way of the Burryman]]'') These Cybermen, created with the same materials as the bridge, then proceeded to convert [[Fiona McCall]] and other humans within the area on their leader's orders. However, while initially loyal, Kreel's Cybermen were susceptible to questioning the logic of their orders and would turn on their progenitor before ultimately being defeated by the Doctor.
