Zyglot trust

The Zyglot trust was formed to protect the Zyglot species. The Zyglots were hunted for their colours, becoming carnival sideshows. The trust was failing to protect the species through lack of funds. Astrolabus was the leader of the trust, he used the alias Professor Astro Labus. The Doctor faked the kidnapping of Ivan Asimoff, a member of the trust. He demanded half a million Mazumas in ransom. He hoped the publicity would cause a surge of donations to the fund. The Doctor left behind money he stole from Intra-Venus, Inc. for the fund. (DWM: Polly the Glot)
