Lomax (The Bounty Hunter)

Lomax was a Korven Imperial Commander who had travelled from the far future to warp the British government. The result was a dictatorship that dominated the British Isles, the Americas and Oceania during the mid-21st century. He disguised his true form by hiding behind a human silhouette and using a speech translator to make his voice sound human. He intended to weaken Earth's defences against invasion by his kind after the invasion in the late 25th century failed. All subsequent attempts to correct this, especially those in the early 27th century, also failed.

Lomax later learned that a Jixen warrior was living within London's sewers, and set in motion plans to destroy it using poisonous gas. He ordered Thorne and June to carry out the orders. However, upon the discovery of two civilians in the detonation zone, and the revelation that a third remained there, June suspended the mission. An angered Lomax contacted her, insisting that she do her duty and complete the mission. However, June refused to obey the orders, prompting Lomax to demote her to the rank of constable.

Behind the scenes

 * Lomax is referred to as "LOMAXX" in the official K9 site. However, he was credited as "Lomax" in Robot Gladiators.
 * The Eclipse of the Korven establishes that Lomax was with the Korven invasion force in the year 50,000, suggesting that he had a way of communicating through history without actually travelling through it.
