Weakened Savage

A primitive savage from the planet's scrubland tribe who endures repeated life-force drainings by the City's elite, reducing him to a near-death state. Dodo recognizes him from an earlier failed aid attempt, and he collapses outside the City walls. The Doctor defends him from guards like Edal, while Steven and Dodo administer medicine for partial recovery. He embodies the physical toll of systemic exploitation on the outcasts, surviving through outsider compassion amid oppression. Despite his weakened state, he demonstrates resilience and loyalty, intervening to protect compassionate outsiders like Dodo from aggression by his own allies (e.g., Chal). His actions reveal deep loyalty to his people and a resilient drive to shield potential friends amid oppression.
