Rhodian

The Rhodians, also known as the Rhodia, were one of two groups of humanoid inhabitants of Rhodia. They were at war against the Quill.

Biology
The one Rhodian known to have visited Earth, Charlie, was outwardly indistinguishable from humans.

They possibly had a more alien appearance originally, although it is not clear whether that was their true form or simply one imagined by April Maclean when she pictured the fall of Rhodia: in that form, they had mottled, greyish skin tone, with dark patches framing the eyes. Their chin line was accentuated by blunt spines like a puffer fish. Their hair could be blue.

Culture
The Rhodians were a cultured, learned society. Homosexuality was more accepted than on 21st century Earth. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

The Rhodians had legend of the Cabinet of Souls, where the soul of every Rhodian was to go after dying. While prince Charlie once thought it empty—just a nice bed time story for children to make death less scary—he later opened it, and found life inside.

They had what Miss Quill considered a cruel punishment, but Charlie considered just. This punishment was carried out after they defeated the Quill in battle. They released a creature into the brain called an arn. Once it dug itself in with its poisonous claws, the arn would telepathically link the host to a particular Rhodian, and force them to become their effective slave. If they were to break a rule, or fail to protect their master, the arn would kill them. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

History
According to Miss Quill, the Rhodians ate up all the planet's resources, including that of the Quill. They tried to help the Quill, but in the process made them so dependent that they could never recover. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

The two peoples were eventually at war with each other. The Rhodians won.

While they were busy fighting amongst themselves, the Shadow Kin arrived, and killed everyone, Quill and Rhodian alike. All but one of the Rhodians were destroyed by the Shadow Kin: Charlie, their prince, who was brought by the Twelfth Doctor to Coal Hill Academy. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)
