Varga Varga was the leader of a group of Ice Warrior s who visited prehistoric Earth . Their ship crashed and became encased at the foot of an ice mountain . Varga and his crew went into suspended animation until they were revived during the Ice Age of the year 5000 . Varga was discovered and dug out by Arden ' s expedition . They brought him back to Brittanicus Base and started to thaw him . He recovered , knocked Jamie McCrimmon unconscious and took Victoria Waterfield hostage , forcing her to help him find the controls used to thaw him . They hid in the base , and Varga explained who he was and that he was from Mars . He asked Victoria how long he was buried in the ice . Then , he forced Victoria to find the power packs used to revive him . He took some with Victoria from the medi - centre , and he knocked out Leader Clent with a power pack . He took her back to his buried ship and thawed Zondal , Rintan , Isbur and Turoc . He interrogated Victoria and learned about the base and the ioniser . He and his warriors dug out their ship and created defences in the cave . He and his warriors created an ambush , as Arden and Jamie found the excavated ship , and were shot . Varga let Victoria escape , and he and Zondal watched her on a monitor . Varga decides not to kill Victoria with their weapon concealed in the ice wall , as the base would know she is alive , and he claimed , " She is the bait " . Varga then sent Turoc to capture Victoria , but Turoc died in an avalanche . Varga and Zondal concurred that the ioniser was their only chance after examining that their ship was functional but low on fuel . When Storr tried to offer his help to Varga , explaining that he hated the scientists , Varga and Zondal killed him . The Second Doctor met with Varga and tried to convince him the scientists meant them no harm , but Varga was still suspicious of the destructive capabilities of the ioniser , thinking it was a gun . When Zondal successfully fired the sonic cannon at the base which caused only minor damage , Varga got into contact with Clent and said that it would be used again unless the base surrendered . Clent surrendered , and a peaceful talk was arranged . However it failed when Walters attempted to kill the Ice Warriors , but he was killed by one of Varga ' s warriors . Clent and Jan Garrett were forced by Varga to turn off the ioniser . Meanwhile , scientist Elric Penley turned up the heat controls , and the Doctor used the Ice Warriors ' sonic cannon to disable the warriors . Varga , Rintan and Isbur returned to their ship where they helped Zondal recover . Varga then attempted to return to Mars , but died along with the rest of the Ice Warriors in the explosion of his spacecraft when the scientists turned on the ioniser . ( TV : " The Ice Warriors " )
