MENTOR SIL
From ‘Vengeance on Varos’ 1985
“I would wish them dead. Only that would please my company.”
The TARDIS requires urgent repairs, so the Doctor and Peri make an emergency landing on Varos, the only planet that produces the Zeiton-7 ore needed to restore the TARDIS back to full working order.
On Varos, the Galatron Mining Corporation, represented by Sil, a Mentor from Thoros-Beta, is seeking to secure the rights to the valuable Zeiton-7 ore and has entered into a tense negotiation with the Governor.
Varos is a deeply oppressive world, where enemies and political prisoners are routinely subjected to cruel tortures and executions. The entire population is encouraged to watch and participate through an interactive television system. Sil actively encourages this method of punishment and seeks to take advantage of the planet’s political and economic instability, including the Governor himself.
The Doctor and Peri are soon entangled in these political machinations and are accused of being alien infiltrators, helping the rebel factions, and find themselves the latest unwilling subjects in this most extreme form of reality TV.

Had to order this iconic 80s monster.
