Some time after the Department was created, the dictator of the [[British government]], [[Lomax (The Bounty Hunter)|Lomax]], needed an ally on Earth and came to Thorne. Lomax was secretly plotting the invasion of Earth by his own kind, the [[Korven]]. Thorne had a personal policy to be on the winning side.

Thorne was an Inspector in the Department who sided with Lomax's plan for the Korven invasion of Earth. Because of this, he was implanted with Meron DNA. He was governor of Dauntless Prison, and later replaced a disgraced Inspector Drake as the Department's head of Public Order.

Biography

Early life

Some time after the Department was created, the dictator of the British government, Lomax, needed an ally on Earth and came to Thorne. Lomax was secretly plotting the invasion of Earth by his own kind, the Korven. Thorne had a personal policy to be on the winning side. He was implanted with Meron DNA by the Korven, effectively turning him into a Meron. (TV: The Eclipse of the Korven)

Comments made by June Turner suggested that Thorne had a role in the production of the CCPC. (TV: The Last Precinct)

First encounter with the K9 unit

When Starkey and Darius Pike were held in Dauntless Prison while trying to track the Jixen, Thorne personally threw them in a cell with Mr Wiffy. When Inspector June Turner, head of the Alien Activities section, visited the prison, Thorne denied she had any authority. When the Jixen rioted through the prison, Thorne locked himself and June in his office. However when she found out K9 was in the prison she unlocked the door herself. She promised Thorne that he would "never darken these doors again". As she left, Thorne promised she would pay for this one day. (TV: Liberation)

Promotion

After Drake almost caused the destruction of humanity by using the Hunger, Lomax decided to transfer Drake to other duties. He gave his job as head of security to Thorne. (TV: Black Hunger)

Thorne set his sights on an Ukkan library card held by the Department. Prisoners were rising in numbers and he wanted to use Ukkan technology to dump them on Urlic, a prison which required "no upkeep, no wardens, no exercise yard, no ping-pong tables, no parole," forever. He decided the first inmate would be Starkey who was at the Department HQ's first careers day. When Starkey saw the card's screen in Thorne's office, he was sucked into it. An Ukkan librarian, Yssaringintinka, arrived to assist him. June reported to Lomax and warned Thorne that he wanted a good explanation as to why Thorne interfered with alien technology, which she thought insane.
