Cyberman 1

ruthless methodical authoritative logical emotionless relentless directive
Cyberman 1 commands field operations for the Cybermen invasion of Space Wheel W3. This cyborg executes the Cyber-Planner's directives with mechanical precision, hypnotizing crew like Vallance and Flannigan for sabotage, interrogating captives to pinpoint threats such as the Doctor, and eliminating resistors like Jarvis Bennett. Obedient to the hive-mind, it prioritizes human conversion and station conquest above all, showing no emotion or mercy. Its dominance stems from superior strength and unyielding logic.
