Leader of a group of Men in Black - cyborgs who were tasked with guarding a trans-dimensional vault in which various alien artefacts were secured. These had arrived on Earth over the years, and the Men in Black gathered them up and concealed them to prevent advanced technology and knowledge of aliens becoming widely known.
Mr Dread had been active for decades, having once been involved in covering up UFO activity in the USA in the 1950's.
The vault was hidden in an abandoned hospital in West London, and Sarah Jane Smith learned of it when the alien Androvax escaped from the Judoon and returned to Earth. He sought the vault as it contained the last of his race, inhabiting a spaceship in suspended animation. He was dying, and wanted to free the ship so that his people could re-establish themselves on a new home.
Mr Dread and his two underlings defended the vault. However, he eventually used up his power to enable the ship to escape before the vault was permanently sealed.
Rani Chandra's mother Gita had witnessed the alien activity, having been possessed by Androvax at one point. Mr Dread used the last of his energy to wipe her memories. With his mission now at an end, he deactivated himself.
Played by: Angus Wright. Appearances: SJA 4.2 The Vault of Secrets (2010).
