Arakssor

Arakssor was an Ice Lord who led a group of dissidents on Mars.

Millions of years ago, the Martian civilisation faced strife when Arakssor led a group of like minded Ice Warriors in an attempt to take over his people's government. His aim was to turn his race from a noble peaceful species into a war conquering one. However, he was stopped due to the intervention of the Time Lord known as the Doctor and the Martian elder Geldar. For his actions, Arakssor and his band of war criminals were banished to primitive Earth where they were imprisoned in the ice of the Antartica with a sentence of life imprisonment. However, during a skirmish in the prison, all the individuals within the facility were frozen which included both The Doctor and Geldar.

This period of imprisonment remained until the year 2012 when a human expedition led by Lord Barset to Antartica accidently awakened the Ice Warrior criminals along with Arakssor. Freed, he quickly took over the facility whilst attempting to track down a number of escaped humans as well as the Doctor. When his forces secured the prison, Arakssor freed his opponent Geldar from the ice and later murdered him in cold blood. Arakssor's plan was to take over Earth and become the supreme ruler of the Ice Warriors; turning them into a brutal warrior race that he had originally envisaged.

To accomplish this task, he made use of a Sonic cannon from the prison which he tuned to heat up the waters of the Earth and destroy human civilisation by bringing about a terrible ice age. His later attempts at contacting Mars also failed and he learnt that his people must have undergone an exodus as Mars were now uninhabitable. The Doctor thwarted Arakssor's plans by summoning a Martian warship which attacked the prison facility from orbit as the renegades punishment for escaping imprisonment was death. The facility collapsed and Arakssor was mortally wounded by weapon fire from Genevieve Marceau whereupon the tunnel he was in collapsed leading to freezing water claiming the Martian warlords life.
