Dastari

brilliant but ethically compromised reluctantly compliant technically precise intellectually arrogant slowly unraveling

Professor Dastari is a Time Lord bio-geneticist whose obsession with advancing knowledge drives him to collaborate with forbidden allies. Once a colleague of the Second Doctor, his ethical boundaries fray when partnered with the augmented Androgum Chessene. Though physically fragile, his intellect remains razor-sharp as he justifies increasingly reckless methodologies. He navigates Chessene’s amoral hierarchy with reluctant complicity, masking his growing discomfort through technical precision. His role centers on the Kartz-Reimer experiments, where he operates the surgical controls that will transform a Time Lord into an Androgum.
