Coloth grew up on [[Planet (War Crimes)|a planet]] home to his people, the [[Ulk-Ra]]. He had an older sister named [[Otchon]], who once let Coloth taste [[reed wine]]. | Coloth grew up on [[Planet (War Crimes)|a planet]] home to his people, the [[Ulk-Ra]].

Tasked by the chief male of his clan, a young Coloth underwent a rite to become considered a [[warrior]]: he went out into the wild with the goal of killing a beast and bringing back its [[pelt]]. However, Coloth was captured by [[Ossu-male]], an Ulk-Ra augmented by the [[War Lord]]s for the [[War Game]]s and returned to Coloth's homeworld by the [[Time Lord]] [[High Council]]. Coloth was kept trapped in woven vegetation for a period until — on orders from the War Lord programming — Ossu brutally killed Coloth by slicing him open with his [[paw]]s.

Coloth was later resurrected, remembering that "[his] family, friends, and homeplanet [were] perfectly fine, but [he had] died a horrible death". He claimed that this was a "long story". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sonnenblumen (short story)|Sonnenblumen]]'') He became a member of the [[Plume Coteries]], becoming friends with his [[birdhemoth]] steed [[Rich (Sonnenblumen)|Rich]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sonnenblumen (short story)|Sonnenblumen]]'') | |||
Coloth | In his new life, Coloth had a new form, resembling a [[cactus]]-[[skin]]ned [[humanoid]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cobweb and Ivory (short story)|Cobweb and Ivory]]'', ''[[A Farewell to Arms (short story)|A Farewell to Arms]]'') with yellowish-green "skin". He could manipulate his appearance at will, for example growing flowers on his skin. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sonnenblumen (short story)|Sonnenblumen]]'') Aesculapius was aware that he was an [[Ulk-Ra]] but also a "shape-shiter". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Life After Death (short story)|Life After Death]]'') | ||
In his new body, Coloth, a "cactus-skinned boy", represented the Plume Coteries on [[Terra Primagenia]] at the unveiling of [[Cernunnos]]. Fleeing from a [[painted warrior]] during a [[praxis]] trip, [[Avus]] shoved past Coloth, and was hurt by his cactus skin. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cobweb and Ivory (short story)|Cobweb and Ivory]]'') | |||
Still a "cactus-skinned boy", Coloth once flew beyond [[N-Space|his native universe]] on Rich's back. As they were passing through the [[10,000 Dawns]], Rich's wingbeat caused a "rogue wave of [[dimensional pressure]]" which led to a [[Galaxy Accident]] befalling [[the Sun]] of the [[beings of light's Dawn]]. Realising the subsequent plague of [[Invisible Inferno]]s was somehow their fault, the two stayed in the Dawns, helping [[Dawn (organisation)|Dawn]] to deal with this crisis as well as others, including the destruction of [[Dawn 10000]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sonnenblumen (short story)|Sonnenblumen]]'') | |||
=== As a cactus-skinned man === | |||
Now a cactus "man" rather than a boy, Coloth once walked through a section of the [[Labyrinth (The Book of the War)|Labyrinth]] resembling a regular alley. [[Nezf]], [[Wade (A Farewell to Arms)|Wade]], [[Tabrenilsodvoravitas]], and [[Shift (A Farewell to Arms)|a Shift]] passed Coloth on their way to steal the [[Greater Key]] from [[the Fortress]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Farewell to Arms (short story)|A Farewell to Arms]]'') | |||
The adult Coloth was one of the individuals who showed up to [[Aesculapius]]'s [[funeral]] in [[Aesculapius's Factory of Crystal|her Factory of Crystal]], secretly a ploy by Aesc (who'd been reborn in a new body) to find out who had sent the trapped parcel which had taken her previous life from her. Coloth nearly bumped into a highly ominous man with a black goatee, dressed in all black with crimson robes, whose every word seemed to be a ''double entendre'' implying that he was the one who'd killed Aesc; however, it later became clear the goatee-sporting man was an old friend of Aesc's called [[Steve (Life After Death)|Steve]] whom she seemed to trust completely despite his villainous stylings. Aesc deduced that her killer was instead an old acquaintance in a new body; she specified that even though she was looking for a shape-shifter, she did not suspect Coloth, who was relieved to hear it. Instead, the culprit turned out to be [[Meistras]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Life After Death (short story)|Life After Death]]'') | |||

* Prior to Coloth's cameo appearance in [[Nate Bumber]]'s ''[[Cobweb and Ivory (short story)|Cobweb and Ivory]]'' almost 20 years after his debut in ''[[War Crimes (short story)|War Crimes]]'', Bumber contributed a story foreshadowing Coloth's reappearance, titled ''The Library At the End Of the Universe: A Comprehensive History'', to the 2017 fan anthology ''Shit Trips 2''. The story features the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] and a boy named "Callum" in the [[Plume Coteries]]' [[library]] preparing for Coloth's arrival, with the Doctor at one point saying, "History has been broken. The most important person in all of time and space was killed before their time, and they'll be coming through here any day." | * Prior to Coloth's cameo appearance in [[Nate Bumber]]'s ''[[Cobweb and Ivory (short story)|Cobweb and Ivory]]'' almost 20 years after his debut in ''[[War Crimes (short story)|War Crimes]]'', Bumber contributed a story foreshadowing Coloth's reappearance, titled ''The Library At the End Of the Universe: A Comprehensive History'', to the 2017 fan anthology ''Shit Trips 2''.
