The Collector's Electric Wheelchair

The Collector's primary mode of mobility rests on a sleek black electric wheelchair, its reinforced frame gleaming under the sterile Correction Centre lights. The chair’s polished controls move with near-silent precision, allowing the Collector to pivot with unsettling speed as he surveys his domain. Polished Company insignia adorn the armrests, unmistakable symbols of institutional power that underscore his role as the oppressive regime’s enforcer. When the Doctor dismantles his financial systems, the wheelchair’s silent responsiveness turns against him—no longer a tool of dominance but the last vestige of a collapsing empire.
