Hal Korwin was the husband of Kath McDonnell, captain of the spaceship SS Pentallian which was crossing the Torajii system in the 42nd Century when the TARDIS materialised on board. The vessel had recently used a banned piece of technology to scoop up solar matter to use as fuel. However, this particular sun was a sentient lifeform, and it sought revenge against the ship and its crew. It was dragging the ship down into itself. Korwin became infected by it, his internal body temperature rising greatly. One look from his eyes could incinerate a person, and he began killing off the crew. He also sabotaged the ship to prevent it from being steered clear of the sun. Freezing him could suppress the infection, but for a short time only. To move around the ship he donned a welders helmet with darkened visor. In order to speed the destruction of the vessel he transferred some of the infection into the body of fellow crewman Dev Ashton.
Knowing that her husband could never be saved, and taking responsibility for their predicament, Kath lured Korwin into an airlock and ejected both into space, to fall into the sun.
