A young man from the planet Zanak. A neighbour named Pralix was the brother of his friend Mula, and he had recently fallen ill. He was transforming into a telepathic Mentiad, who were a group persecuted by the Captain, who ruled this world. Kimus was more open-minded than the rest of his people, and did not fear the Mentiads. When they took Pralix away, he and Mula joined forces with the Doctor and Romana to find him. Mentiads were created through mental shock, when Zanak jumped through time and enveloped other inhabited planets. The death of the life-force smashed through mental barriers for some receptive individuals.
On learning the truth about his planet, Kimus vowed to avenge the many dead worlds it had left behind. Kimus and the Doctor broke into the Captain's headquarters - the Bridge - when Romana was captured - only to be taken prisoner themselves. Later, it was Kimus who shot the Captain's nurse - really the ancient tyrant Queen Xanxia of Zanak in a new body - destroying her.
