Aklaar

Aklaar was born Abrasaar, full name '''Abrasaar Urr'n'Jaas. '''He served in the Martian warrior caste and had risen to the position of Supreme Grand Marshal in the military and was even inducted into the ranks of the rulers of Mars, namely the Eight-Point Table, where he sat alongside his fellow Grand Marshals, which included Falaxyr, a close blood kin to him.

He, along with his brethren, participated in the devastating conflict between his homeworld and that inhabited by Humans which became known as the Thousand Day War. During that time, Earth Intelligence learnt of a heavily guarded Martian weapon installation located in a region known to the Ice Warriors as Viis Claar, which Humanity called Valles Marineris, that was situated at the equator and was the location of a wide, as well as deep, valley. At its eastern end was the weapons dump and the United Nations Central Command decided to send a strike force to capture it before the Martians made use of its supplies. They dispatched General Burkitt's King's Fusiliers which were dispatched after weeks of surveillance and were only placed into the field when a transmission was intercepted from the Grand Marshal responsible for the supply post, namely Abrasaar. The message stated that Abrasaar was sending his forces to a nearby city in order to protect it from a siege. General Burkitt transmatted his forces in with fifteen thousand troops in order to take the Martian base as they expected only minimal resistance. However, they encountered ten thousand Martian warriors and fought in a battle that lasted three days which saw the complete annihilation of Burkitt's men.

Ultimately, the weapon's supply depot was destroyed but not by Humans, but instead by Abrasaar himself when anti-matter cannons and sonic piledrivers were used to destroy it. The massive fireball of plasma and gamma radiation was responsible for killing twenty five thousand humans and Martians who were vaporised by its effects. It was said that Abrasaar himself was also killed in the devastation. The end of the battle signified the only significant defeat suffered by the Human forces during the War and marked their forces for the first time as being vulnerable. Humanity was not alone in being marked by the battle, as the Martians were also deeply affected. This was because of Abrasaar's use of trickery by using false communication reports in order to trick the Humans into attack. Such a tactic was against the Martian military ethic of honour and it was believed that the battle had dulled their assaults leading ultimately to their defeat.

For his actions, he was given the title of the Butcher of Viis Claar and his name became reviled by both Humans and his fellow Martians. Abrasaar later abandoned his birth name and took the name of Aklaar and joined the pacifist caste of the Holy Order of Oras as an Abbot in order to dedicate his life to the teachings of compassion and peace. He continued this for the rest of his years until he reached his late 200's. In 2157, he requested leave from the Holy Bishop and the Polar Nests to conduct a pilgrimage to G'chun duss Ssethissi and was allowed to carry the Sword of Tuburr there in order to conduct a symbolic act of shattering the blade thus signifying the end of the Martian's war-like ways. During that time, he met the Eighth Doctor and joined his Companions during their trek to the North Pole. Unknown to him, the entire pilgrimage had been orchestrated by his former comrade Falaxyr who desired the Sword of Tuburr, as it was an activation key for the GodEngine of the Osirians. Once at the Cauldron of Ssethissi, Falaxyr revealed Aklaar's true identity, which somewhat alienated him from his followers. Despite his past, Aklaar challenged Falaxyr to a blood duel in order to prevent the Supreme Grand Marshal from killing millions. However, during the battle, Aklaar was brutally slain by his clutch mate Falaxyr, though the event allowed The Doctor to stop the GodEngine from being activated. (NA: GodEngine)
