There really are vampires, The Doctor’s met them. But the vampires of Venice are something else entirely: sea-dwelling refugees from the destroyed world of Saturnyne.
The true form of such creatures is a dark, leathery beast resembling a shark. They hide that body beneath a perception filter that manipulates the brainwaves of whoever’s looking at them. Sometimes, they can’t be seen in mirrors. In their natural form these vicious predators live underwater.
To continue their species the disguised survivors of Saturnyne drank from their female human victims until all the liquid had been removed from them. Then, they replaced that liquid with their own blood. Gradually, the alien blood changed the victim into one of the aliens, ready to mate with the male aliens, hiding and feeding in the Venetian canals.
Avery was once a respected naval officer, but afflicted by an insatiable greed he turned to piracy, commanding a ragbag band of rogues until the Siren descended on his ship.
Before the Doctor strolled into town, the people of Mercy viewed Kahler-Jex as a good man – he was the engineer who gave them heat and the physician who saved lives…
The Doctor is an adventurer through space and time, exploring the most wonderful and terrible places in the universe… and usually ending up in trouble.
Chloe hosts a cosplay-centric show on the Nerdist Network called ‘Just Cos,’ works as a freelance game journalist for a number of websites, and models.
We’ve seen the Doctor encounter many Sontarans and whilst every other member of this belligerent species has been guided by a single-minded passion for war, Strax is a nurse.
