## Biography

Moerd was one of many people kidnapped from Tosan by Revir and Mera, built with the intent of being trained as a soldier. It was unknown as to what his previous life was, but he ultimately came to believe that he wasn't important after Revir admitted that they only took people who they believed whose disappearances wouldn't cause suspicion. With his memories wiped, he was moved to the largest training dimension, where he was made the highest ranking officer there at the rank of Lieutenant - responsible for the well-being of all his fellow troops. (TV: *Embrace the Chaos*) He also was dressed in armour made of Cyberman parts made in the lab by Lurala. (TV: *Fugitive of the Cybermen*)

With the Seventeenth Doctor, Taylor Bennett and Luna Feng arriving in the dimension after stepping through the portal at Renovix XI, the Corporal who witnessed their arrival had the Privates quickly pulled the three inside, where they met Moerd. Hiding in the basement as the other soldiers fought the creatures that came at night, Moerd explained to the TARDIS team about what they did, but when the Doctor asked him about his life before the desert, his lack of concern over his inability to remember and Cyberman armour worried them.

After the three left in the morning, Moerd and co continued normal operations, which was interrupted a few hours later with their sudden return whilst being chased by the creatures that should've attacked at night. When the Doctor cracked the fail-safe - ordering the shut-down of the dimension - Moerd saw all his troops off safely before leaving himself, but was dragged away by Revir and Mera just as he was going to escape, forcing the Doctor to leave him behind as the dimension turned itself off.

In reality, the fail-safe merely had a clause that transported all living beings inside the dimension into another if it closed - moving Moerd to the second largest dimension, which was a secret to the Doctor. Although activating the fail-safe turned off the signal that made the soldiers docile and unquestioning, Moerd did not have much time with his new-found freedom as he was quickly brainwashed again within this new dimension.

Before Revir and Mera raided Axos after killing all the Axons, they had grown impressed by Moerd's abilities - and so placed him in essentially what was a second-in-command role within their base camp as they constructed barracks on Axos and readied themselves for a surprise war against the Doctor and Temporal Intelligence Agency. However, Moerd's will was stronger than they thought; and he managed to subconsciously break free of the signal still radiating throughout Axos - granting him his freedom back. He chose to pretend as this had not happened and sent a covert message to the Agency, warning them of what Revir and Mera were about to do - keeping his identity secret in order to protect himself if any of those two discovered that a message had been sent.

When the Agency's armies arrived on Axos, led by Kylita Strali, Moerd was ordered to stand the line down at the base camp as Mera led the Tosan army and Revir went to stand guard over the Axos core. Trying his best to deactivate as many traps as he could to let the Doctor, Taylor, Luna and Kylita through, his efforts were rewarded when they successfully reached his location. He told them of Revir's position, to which the Doctor and his companions responded by heading straight there.

Kylita led Moerd back to the Agency's side, where they witnessed the death of Mera on the front lines. Following the detonation of the energy core at the heart of Axos, Moerd fled the planet with the surviving members of the Agency and Tosan armies, where he was promised a new home in Vallaly and a well-respected position within the Agency by Kylita for his bravery and actions; something he gleefully accepted, eager to make a new start.
