[edit] Profile
[edit] Biography
Darkel presided over the Doctor's trial on the Time Lord Space Station Zenobia, with the Valeyard acting as prosecutor. (DW: The Mysterious Planet, DW: Mindwarp) The Doctor himself would at a later stage act as his own defense lawyer. (DW: Terror of the Vervoids) (The Valeyard himself, apparently an independent Time Lord represented a dark side of the Doctor's personality.)
An honest woman, Darkel presided over a show trial designed to draw attention away from the corrupt High Council. With political unrest demanding a new Lord President and the Doctor unwilling to take on the job himself, he gave a symbolic vote of confidence to Darkel himself before departing in his TARDIS. (DW: The Ultimate Foe)
