Lomax (The Bounty Hunter)


 * For the Doctor who worked at Ashbridge Cottage Hospital, see Lomax.

Lomax was the Korven Imperial Commander who had traveled from the future to manipulate the British government, warping it into a fascist paradigm 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 seem Human. He intended to weaken Earth's defenses in preparation for a mass invasion by his kind after the invasion in the late 25th century failed as did all subsequent attempts to correct this, especially those in the early 27th century.

Biography


Lomax made the preparations for invasion in the 501st Century discovering that The Space-Time Manipulator that had crashed on Earth aeons ago (K9TV: Angel of the North) had been used as a bridgehead for one of the aforementioned "correction" attempts (K9TV: The Korven) He than decided that he could use it as the bridgehead for a fully fledged invasion and set out to weaken humanity through it's government, breathing life into the totalitarian "Department" (K9TV The Eclipse of the Korven) K9 Mark 2's predecessor had a minor role in this plan, being duped into assassinating the last four Jixen in existence so as to revive the Korven's transracial ties with the Merons, these ties having been established in the 51st Century with the Korven providing the Merons with energy weapons that they used to turn the tables on the Jixen, obliterating their homeworld and colonies (K9TV: Hound of the Korven) This plan went awry when the Jixen's bodyguard, Ahab killed Zanthus Pia, the head of The Galactic Peace Commission and an essential part of their plan to prevent this invasion from happening out of an unknown necessity. The Space-Time Manipulator abducted K-9 and the Jixen and brought them to London in the far, distant past. There K-9 regenerated and formed the Earth's front line of defense against paranormal and extraterrestrial threats aswell as the overall menace of The Department (K9TV: Regeneration) while only one of the four Jixen remained intact(K9TV: Hound of the Korven'')

As Drake and June Turner argued whose Jurisdiction K9 Mark 2 was under, Drake asked Lomax. He replied by saying he would consider the matter, and ordered them in the meantime to do their work. He then decided K9 is under the control of the Department, specifically June's alien activity section.(K9TV: The Bounty Hunter)

Later, Drake captured a Medes starship to use its technology so he could eavesdrop anywhere and not be seen by anyone, even Lomax. (K9TV: Alien Avatar)

Lomax later sent Drake to Sector SE14 Delta to investigate a possible alien incursion concerning the dissapearance of the Great Oak. (K9TV: The Last Oak Tree)

After Drake almost caused the destruction of Humanity by using Black Hunger. Lomax decided that although Drake served with the Department for many years as this was not Drake's first breach of orders but his most serious to date Drake would be moved on to other duties. He then gave his job as head of security to Inspector Thorne, the former governor of Dauntless Prison. (K9TV: Black Hunger)

When June found out Thorne took an Ukkan library card, she informed Lomax. He gave her a warning to give to Thorne that he wanted a good explanation as to why he has been interferring with alien technology and also demanded the card back in twelve hours or Thorne would be forced to resign. (K9TV: Lost Library of Ukko)

Lomax or Thorne somehow found out about K9's Regeneration circuit, he ordered Thorne to take K9's circuit and bring it to him as it would be of great benefit to the Department. After Thorne's failure to destroy K9 with the Pain-Maker. He assured him that the Department would have no recorded connection with Crashclub and that Freddie Maxwell would take the whole fall. He told Thorne that as K9 known of Thorne's intent to take his regeneration technology it will make acquiring it harder, Thorne told him it won't be impossible and promised they would gain it and their plans would succeed. Lomax left it with him and ordered him to use all the powers at his disposal, Thorne assured that he intended to. (K9TV: Robot Gladiators)

When Gryffen told June that he needed to get to the site of the crashed fallen angel in Canada as he could get the Space-Time Manipulator working properly if he acquired the temporal stabiliser. Thorne informed Lomax of this, Lomax asked Thorne if he thought he was right. He replied that he seemed very excited about it and said it was worth a shot. Lomax told Thorne to assist him in every way possible, to travel with him to the site and keep an eye on him at all times as they didn't want him meddling. (K9TV: Angel of the North)

Lomax's true identity and motives were later revealed, as he attempted to set in motion the Korven invasion. He was killed when he and his comrades were sucked into the Space-Time Manipulator as it exploded in a fiery inferno. (K9TV: Eclipse of the Korven)
