The Cyber-Lord was the commander of the Cybermen, a form of Cyber-Leader but of a higher rank.

Appearance[]

The Cyber-Lord had a cyber-suit similar to standard Cybermen. His cyber-helmet, however, had black handle bars, a black face plate and a transparent "window" through which his brain could be seen, (TV: The Next Doctor) similar to the Cyber-Controller. (TV: The Age of Steel)

History[]

A Cyber-Lord was among the Cybermen that ended up in 1851. After establishing a base in London, the Cyber-Lord forged an alliance with Mercy Hartigan, using her to gather the child labour necessary to build the CyberKing, and in return promising her liberation, and exception from Cyber-conversion.

After Hartigan gathered the child labour necessary to allow the CyberKing to rise, the Cyber-Lord takes Hartigan to the throne room of the CyberKing where he betrays her, and forcibly has Hartigan connected to the throne and converted into the CyberKing. However, Hartigan’s mind proved to be too strong and she resisted the full effects of the conversion, and decides to build a new army of Cybermen that will be full of logic and passion. The Cyber-Lord objects to this and attempts to remove Hartigan from the throne, only to be incinerated when Hartigan fires a blast of energy at him. (TV: The Next Doctor)
