Biography

Ettis was one of the trisilicate miners on the planet Peladon. He had some influence over his fellow miners, although not as much as their moderate leader Gebek. He was one of the first to see the fake "Aggedor's ghost" projection being used by Eckersley to attack and kill miners and became convinced that Aggedor's spirit was opposed to the use of advanced technology from the Galactic Federation in the mines. He made a futile attempt to break into the Federation armoury to get weapons, then sent up explosives to seal a cavern made by the Federation's sonic lance, knowingly trapping the Doctor and King's champion Blor in there. Gebek, who the Doctor had helped, used the sonic lance to free him (Blor having already been killed by Eckersley's projection). The Doctor spoke to Ettis, Gebek and the other miners, trying to convince them to work with their rulers and also mentioning the armoury could only be opened from the Federation communications room. Ettis promptly went there and took Sarah hostage, forcing Alpha Centauri to open the armoury so his men could take the guns, although he was furious when Centauri failed to disable the alarms, leading to a brief firefight with the guards.

Ettis advocated an all-out attack on both the Federation representatives and the Peladonian nobles. Gebek tried to keep him in check but did agree to helping him steal the sonic lance, which Ettis set up in a cavern overlooking the citadel. When Gebek disappeared after going to meet Queen Thalira and was believed a prisoner, Ettis was convinced to lead the other miners in rescuing him. However, they discovered that the citadel had actually been taken over by the Ice Warriors, who were posing as a Federation peace-keeping force. The Ice Warriors easily massacred Ettis' followers, with him as the only survivor.

When he founds the miners working under Ice Warrior guard and learned Gebek had ordered them to do so, Ettis believed Gebek had betrayed them, despite his friend Rima insisting Gebek had a plan. Ettis now planned to use the sonic lance to destroy the citadel, which would kill dozens of his own people that he regarded as traitors. Rima protested and Ettis stabbed and fatally wounded him. He ran to activate the lance, pursued by the Doctor, who fought with him. Ettis triumphed and went to activate the lance, but Azaxyr had already set it to self-destruct by remote control. The mechanism triggered when Ettis activated it and he was killed in the explosion.
