Lomax ( The Bounty Hunter ) Lomax was a Korven Imperial Commander who had travelled from the future to warp the British government . The result was a dictatorship that dominated the British Isles , the Americas and Oceania during the mid - 21st century . He disguised his true form by hiding behind a human silhouette and using a speech translator to make his voice sound human . He intended to weaken Earth ' s defences against invasion by his kind after the invasion in the late 25th century failed . All subsequent attempts to correct this , especially those in the early 27th century , also failed . Lomax made the preparations for invasion in the 501st century . He found that the Space - Time Manipulator that had crashed on Earth aeons ago ( TV : " Angel of the North " ) had been used as a bridgehead for one of the aforementioned " corrections " . ( TV : " The Korven " ) He believed he could use it as the bridgehead for an invasion and set out to weaken humanity ' s government , breathing life into the totalitarian Department ( TV : " The Eclipse of the Korven " ) K9 Mark 2 ' s predecessor had a minor role in this plan , having been duped into killing the last four Jixen to revive the Korven ' s transracial ties with the Meron s . These ties had been established in the 51st century when the Korven provided the Merons with energy weapons against the Jixen , obliterating the race . ( TV : " Hound of the Korven " ) This plan went awry when the Jixen ' s bodyguard , Ahab killed Zanthus Pia , the head of The Galactic Peace . ( TV : " The Bounty Hunter " ) The malfunctioning Space - Time Manipulator abducted K9 and the Jixen and brought them to London in the distant past . K9 regenerated and helped the Earth ' s defence against paranormal and extraterrestrial threats as well as the overall menace of the Department .

( TV : " The Bounty Hunter " ) Lomax sent Drake to Sector SE14 Delta to investigate a possible extraterrestrial incursion crisis concerning the disappearance of the Major Oak . ( TV : " The Last Oak Tree " ) After Drake almost caused the destruction of humanity through the Hunger , Lomax demoted him and gave the job to Inspector Thorne , the former governor of Dauntless Prison . ( TV : " Black Hunger " ) When June found out Thorne took an Ukkan library card , she informed Lomax . He demanded the card returned within twelve hours or Thorne ' s resignation . ( TV : " Lost Library of Ukko " ) Lomax ordered Thorne to bring him K9 ' s regeneration unit . Its Time Lord technology would be of use . After Thorne ' s failure to destroy K9 with the Pain - Maker . Lomax assured him that the Department would have no recorded connection with Crashclub and that Freddie Maxwell would take the fall . ( TV : " Robot Gladiators " ) Gryffen told June that he needed to get to the site of the crashed fallen angel in Canada for the missing key to the Space - Time Manipulator , the temporal stabiliser . Lomax left the decision of whether to take Gryffen to Thorne . ( TV : " Angel of the North " ) Lomax later learned that a Jixen warrior was living within London ' s sewers , and set in motion plans to destroy it using poisonous gas . He ordered Thorne and June to carry out the orders . However , upon the discovery of two civilians in the detonation zone , and the revelation that a third remained there , June suspended the mission . An angered Lomax contacted her , insisting that she do her duty and complete the mission . However , June refused to obey the orders , prompting Lomax to demote her to the rank of constable .
