Vynda-K

Graff Vynda-K was the warlike tyrant of the planet Levithia.

Biography
When Graff went off to fight the Alliance Wars with the Cyrrhenic Empire, he was deposed by his people and replaced by his half-brother. He swore vengeance and offered to buy Ribos from Garron, hoping to turn it into a training ground for an army, as well as a possible means of rebuilding his fortune by mining the jethrik that he believed was to be found there. Throughout this time he was served by Sholakh, his aide.

When he found out he had been conned, he tried to kill Garron and the Fourth Doctor, who was working with Garron to try and recover the jethrik. Graff and his men pursued the Doctor and Garron into the catacombs where Sholakh was killed. This saddened Graff greatly and he promised to avenge his death.

Graff had his last soldier fitted with an explosive device so that he could "start afresh". However, the soldier was in fact the Doctor who placed the device on Graff without him noticing. Graff wandered off through the caverns in madness, calling on Sholakh to lead his troops on the attack. He was killed when the device detonated. (DW: The Ribos Operation)
