De Flores was a Neo-Nazi of Windsor in 1988. He lead a group which he hoped would become the Fourth Reich in honour of Adolf Hitler's goal.
In 1638 when a large piece of validium fell to Earth, Lady Peinforte found it and sculpted it into an image of herself holding a bow and arrow, calling it Nemesis. The Doctor found the statue, removed the bow and arrow, and placed it onto the rocket-sled, firing it off into space. De Flores discovered information on the Nemesis by unknown means and planned to use its destructive power to bring the Fourth Reich into existence and continue Hitler's goal. He also had the bow required to reactivate it.
Once his second in command (Karl) delivered information on where and when the Nemesis would crash back into the Earth he wasted no time in going to retrieve it. Once arriving to the crash-site with a squad of his soldiers, De Flores decided to let the police (who have cordoned off the area) guard the Nemesis until it had cooled down from the impact from space and retrieve it.
When De Flores and his men decided to retrieve the Nemesis, he found that all the police officers had been killed by a form of gas but paid little attention to this, they instead headed straight to the Nemesis and attempted to extract it from the meteorite in which it was encased. De Flores noticed that the arrow required to reactivate the Nemesis was not there and when the Doctor and Ace arrived he demanded them to hand the arrow over. The Doctor calmly told De Flores that not only did he not possess the arrow but warned that the police around them where killed by highly advanced extraterrestrials, when De Flores learned that they did not have the arrow he is prepared to have them shot until he was distracted by a spaceship landing, a spaceship containing Cybermen who had the intention of taking the Nemesis for their own purposes.
De Flores men engaged in a pitched battle with the Cybermen but were quickly decimated from the one-sided fight, the time displaced Lady Peinforte (who was also searching for the Nemesis) arrived during the fight and killed a couple of Cybermen with golden arrows which gave De Flores and Karl enough time to escape the conflict to regroup and fetch some gold dust.
After seeing a Cyberman ship being blown up (by Ace but they never learn this) De Flores headed to investigate and found that the Cybermen had hidden the Nemesis in Lady Peinforte's tomb but now Lady Peinforte had barricaded herself in and was holding back the Cybermen with gold arrows. De Flores informed the Cybermen that because he and Karl do not share the Cybermen's vulnerability to gold they are willing to fetch the Nemesis for them in exchange for half of the planet; De Flores intended to betray the Cybermen instead.
De Flores confronted Lady Peinforte in the tomb with her servant Richard Maynarde. Richard threw the arrow required to reactivate the Nemesis at the Nemesis in order to create a distraction to for him and Peinforte to escape, De Flores let them both go and the Cybermen entered the tomb soon after, De Flores was prepared to use the Nemesis to destroy them but found that he was missing his bow and therefore could not activate the Nemesis (The Doctor stole his bow during the fight against the Cybermen without De Flores knowing). De Flores threw his gold dust at the Cybermen but Karl restrained him and declared that his intention was to betray De Flores to the Cybermen.
Karl overpowered the Cybermen later and allowed De Flores to escape from his captivity, having been loyal to him all along. De Flores and Karl discovered the Doctor's location and found him in possession of the bow, arrow and Nemesis itself. De Flores attempted to take them all from the Doctor but the Cyber-leader arrived (injured from a battle with Ace) and gunned them both down.
