Klineman Halpen

"Now you will sufer from the Ood."

- Klineman Halpen to the Doctor.

Klineman Halpen was the Chief Executive of Ood Operations. At the age of six he was taken to Ood Sphere and saw the Giant Ood Brain within. His father was the manager before him. He had a personal Ood that looked after him called Sigma. As his Job was very stressful he soon lost most of his hair and so was dosed with hair tonic by Sigma. His hair partially grew back. When the Ood began getting infected with Red Eye, Halpen arrived on Ood Sphere to sort it out. When the entire Ood "livestock" were infected with Red Eye, Halpen ordered the gassing of all Ood. He then set off to destroy the Giant Ood Brain in order to contain the Red Eye and kill the Ood.

He placed detonation packs around the brain and prepared to detonate them. He decided he would go into cargo as this job was over. When his lead scientist Dr. Ryder revealed that he was a Friend of the Ood, Halpen threw him into the brain, killing him. Ood Sigma had led the Doctor and Donna Noble to Halpen but then Sigma claimed he would always help Halpen. It was then that Sigma revealed that he had used the Hair Tonic liquid to dose Halpen with Ood graft suspended in a biological compound that turned him into an Ood. Sigma then declared he would look after Halpen. (DW: Planet of the Ood)
