Thaur was a giant viking warrior from the planet Norsum. He was one of three banished from their homeworld by Queen Angboda and abandoned on primitive planets. Thaur was exiled to planet Earth, where he was found rampaging in a supermarket by the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones. The Doctor later agreed to help the now-calm space viking free his warrior brothers so that they could defeat the Space Viking Queen Angbodia. It later turned out that Thaur and his men were not so noble. (COMIC: Wrath of the Warrior)
