A member of the Lakertyan race, Ikona was a rebel amongst his people as he refused to submit to the Rani when she conquered their world, aided by her Tetrap allies. Ikona was in love with Sarn, daughter of the Lakertyan leader Beyus, who worked for the Rani at her laboratory headquarters. He witnessed Sarn's death when she ran away from the laboratory and fell into one of the Rani's lethal traps. Ikona found the Doctor's companion Mel and decided to take her hostage, believing her to be another ally of the Rani. Mel was able to convince him that she was not an enemy when she saved him from one of the traps, and he later returned the favour when she was caught in one of them. Ikona then joined forces with the Doctor against the Rani and the Tetraps. After they had been defeated, the Doctor gave him an antidote to the poisonous insects which the Rani had left behind. He was now the leader, following Beyus' death. He poured it away - determined that the Lakertyans had to solve their own problems from now on.
