History[]
Kroton was a humanoid male with a wife and family until he was forcibly converted by the Cybermen and became a Junior Cyberleader. However, while Kroton lost all memory of his past, his conversion had been flawed and his capacity to feel emotion gradually returned, leading him to turn on the Cybermen in order to free their slaves on the planet Mondaran. Fleeing into space in a stolen ship low on fuel, Kroton lapsed into a dormant state when his internal batteries ran down. After an indeterminate amount of time, he was awakened after being discovered drifting by the passengers on board the Flying Dutchman II, a starliner caught in a stasis loop. Kroton freed the ship, but unknown to him it had been trapped for 628 years and the passengers immediately aged to death!
Years later, Kroton encountered the Time Lord known as the Doctor and travelled with him and his companion Izzy Sinclair for a time before being effectively elevated to Godhood as the new Centre of the Omniversal Spectrum, regaining his lost memories in the process.
