History[]
Eldrad is a scientist and would-be despot who attempted to conquer his home planet, Kastria, only for his fellow Kastrians, silicon based lifeforms like himself,to destroy their entire civilisation in order to kill him and rid the universe of his evil. Eldrad's hand survived and was flung through space until it ended up buried near the Nunton Nuclear Research complex on Earth, where it was accidentally unearthed by Sarah Jane Smith. Possessed by Eldrad's consciousness, which still lived within the hand, Sarah helped Eldrad to regrow a body, initially based on hers, in the nuclear reactor. The Doctor was forced to return Eldrad to Kastria, only to discover that he had been away for millennia and the planet was dead. Eldrad was apparently destroyed, but a fragment of his consciousness had survived in a tiny sliver of his hand, and possessed a spider in the Nunton Complex before taking over the form of human scientist Davey Jones. Professor Watson, head of the facility, suddenly found himself contesting with Eldrad again, without the Doctor's help...
