Professor Hana Fallomax was the last survivor of Eloii after the Kotturuh's judgement. She dedicated herself to working on the lifeshrouds to try to defend against the Kotturuh and worked with the Tenth Doctor.

Biography[]

Hana Fallomax survived the Kotturuh judgment of Eloii when her father, an exochemist and exogeologist, took her into space to escape the Kotturuh's wave of energy rendering the people of Eloii sterile and short-lived. Together, they built the first lifeshroud using crystals from a meteor he believed came from the Kotturuh home planet of Mordeela and could protect against the wave when charged. They only had enough crystals for one, however, so he eventually succumbed to the wave. The crystals in her lifeshroud frequently needed replacing as the power drained from them and she had to wear it constantly.

Fallomax dedicated herself to making working lifeshrouds aboard her ship, the Polythrope. She sent mining machines to Mordeela to mine crystals and discovered Estinee, a Destran naturally immune to death. She rescued her and exploited her memories of the Design's dates to visit worlds right before the Kotturuh came, selling lifeshrouds, even though they wouldn't work without the crystals. The lifeshrouds appeared to work in demonstrations due to Estinee's natural immunity to death and this scam funded Fallomax's research into making genuine ones. At one point, Estinee was recaptured by the Kotturuh, but Fallomax managed to rescue her again.

Fallomax sent Estinee to sell lifeshrouds on Andalia, where she was captured by the Kotturuh again. Fallomax rescued her again, though her mining drone was briefly interfered with by the Tenth Doctor and Brian, who were also attempting to rescue Estinee on Mordeela. The pair traced Estinee to the Polythrone, and the Doctor agreed to help Fallomax work on a functional Lifeshroud. Brian's employer, Verv-Hoondai Chalskal, arrived and demanded they make lifeshrouds for his people after Estinee revealed a Kotturuh judgement was due on his planet within weeks. He let them work on his flagship and after some days of work, the Doctor and Fallomax had made a prototype. As their prototype could only work for a few hours before the crystals failed, the Doctor decided to concentrate on reverse engineering the Kotturuh's power and Fallomax and Estinee accompanied him in the TARDIS back to Andalia to analyse the energies left there by a recent judgement. He made a necrotic virus that could attack the Kotturuh and told Fallomax all the ways using this weapon could benefit the future, though she wondered if he was really trying to convince himself. Affected by her doubts, he made two solutions; a lesser one to simply give the Kotturuh a lifespan and a greater one to wipe them out by only letting them live for fifteen minutes. Shortly afterwards, Fallomax was killed by Estinee when she fell under the Kotturuh's control. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead)

Appearance[]

Fallomax had pale violet skin and crimson hair. She constantly wore her lifeshroud, which was far bulkier then later versions and covered all her limbs in cables, including a coronet of wire on her head. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead)
