General Chellak was the leader of the troop sent to Androzani Minor to force out Sharaz Jek.
When his men captured the Fifth Doctor and Peri, Morgus ordered Chellak to execute them, but Jek replaced them with android duplicates. Realising that he would become a laughing stock if it became known that he had just executed two androids, Chellak had the incident covered up.
After Salateen escaped and warned Chellak that the individual he thought was his second-in-command was in fact an android spy, Chellak launched an assault against Jek. While struggling with him he pulled his mask off. Jek then pushed the horrified Chellak into the path of a mud burst and closed the door on him, leaving him to drown in the mud.
