Kane was part of a criminal gang on the planet Proamon with Xana.

Biography[]

After Kane was captured by security forces, he was exiled to the cold, dark side of Svartos. Once there, Kane became the ruler of the space trading colony, Iceworld, though he secretly hungered for vengeance on his people for banishing him.

As time passed, Kane persuaded or purchased others as slaves and minions, convincing them to enter his service and carry out his whim. Kane's body temperature was so low, that he could kill humans by simply touching them — though he would die if exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Kane's main henchman was Belazs.

When the Seventh Doctor informed Kane that Proamon's sun had gone supernova, leaving no-one on whom he could take his revenge, Kane angrily refused to believe him. He opened a window and walked into direct sunlight. The heat caused his face to melt from his skull, and he collapsed. (TV: Dragonfire [+]Ian Briggs, adapted from Seventh Doctor Audition Tapes (Andrew Cartmel), Doctor Who season 24 (BBC1, 1987).)
