Cully

Cully was a Dulcian and son of its leader Senex.

Cully was a brash and independent young man who sought excitement and adventure as a way of breaking up what he considered a boring situation on his own world. He ran an illegal touring business that took other curious youths to places all over Dulkis, some of which were forbidden due to irradiation. On one of his tours to the Island of Death with a few youths, he discovers, after practically crashing their ship, the apparent lack of radiation in where there should be a very high level. His companions believing that they have been cheated by Cully break away from him and observe several strange people and a robot moving about. They rush toward them to see what it is all about and perhaps to get a way back home. Cully observes them from atop a hill and tries to warn them of impeding danger. He is unsuccessful and sees them all die. After narrowly evading the Dominators, hiding behind the Tardis of all things, he later meets up with another party of Dulcians on a study mission and they are eventually introduced to the Doctor and his companions. Cully continues to warn of hostile aliens but he is dismissed as a prankster. Cully develops a friendship with Zoe and they both set off in a pod for the capital. There, his story is met with even more opposition as both the state council and his father disbelieve him. As the threat becomes more apparent, Cully along with the Doctor’s companions help fight the Dominators participating in numerous acts of sabotage against them.
