The Headless Monks are deadly warriors, first encountered as they traded with Dorium in the Prequel to “A Good Man Goes to War.” They later assisted Madame Kovarian on Demon’s Run and were involved in the tragic battle that saw the deaths of both Strax and Lorna Bucket.
It remains a Level One Heresy to lower the hood of a Headless Monk and some feared that even glancing beneath their cowls would result in execution. But on Demon’s Run, their hoods were turned back and we discovered that these enigmatic soldiers were literally headless!
It is traditional for “visiting armies” of other faiths to offer individuals for conversion. In other words, allies of the Monks put forward soldiers who are ushered into their faith by decapitation. We have much to learn about the Headless Monks but there is a single certainty…when you hear their attack prayer there’s one thing you should do: Run!
Featured in the episode The Beast Below.’ the Smilers are androids, mounted in booths all across the space faring version of Britain that left Earth in the 29th Century.
River Song had Grayle worked out from the word go. Called him a ‘crime boss with a collecting fetish’. He was a tough guy, sure, but when he kidnapped River he didn’t figure he was starting to collect trouble. A lot of trouble.
If you met Alex out and about with his son, George, you’d probably think he was just a normal guy. He lives with George’s mom, Claire. They’ve got a nasty landlord and money worries but, worst of all, they fear there’s something terribly wrong with their son.
Gangers were developed to work in environments too dangerous for people. Controlled remotely by a human operator they soon saved lives and money and most believed a Ganger was simply a tool, little more than a fork-lift truck.
