| - C'rizz' father Guidance gave him a moonstone on the day of his wedding to L'da. (AUDIO: The Last, The Next Life) According to his father, C'rizz was "a broodling of the third order." He had a brother. (AUDIO: The Next Life) Most of his family and friends were killed when the Kromon invaded Eutermes. (AUDIO: The Last, The Next Life) However, his father survived. (AUDIO: The Next Life) When C'rizz met the Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard, he was grieving the loss of L'da, whom he had left behind when he had escaped the Kromon biodome. With the Doctor and Charley, he returned to rescue L'da and free his people from the Kromon. He succeeded in the latter, but was forced to kill L'da, who had been transformed into a Kromon queen. Still coming to terms with what he had done, he asked to join the Doctor and Charley when they went to the next zone on Bortresoye in search of the TARDIS and the answer to the mysteries of the universe they were in. (AUDIO: The Creed of the Kromon) The Doctor, Charley and C'rizz visited Light City, where their memories were preserved and used in an experiment. (AUDIO: The Natural History of Fear) Eventually, it was revealed that C'rizz was an adept of the Church of the Foundation, which believed that all things must die, and had murdered in its name before he had met L'da and left the Church. It was also revealed that the Eutermesans were more than physical chameleons, but emotional and mental ones as well, shaping their personalities to those around them but also making them easily manipulated. (AUDIO: The Next Life) When the Doctor and Charley returned to their own universe, C'rizz came with them; he trusted the Doctor to keep him stable and himself. They emerged on an Earth conquered by the Daleks, who unsuccessfully tried to brainwash C'rizz into becoming their new Emperor. The Dalek attempt added to C'rizz's deteriorating mental state; he would continue to hear, in his mind, the voices of the people whom he had killed. (AUDIO: Terror Firma) C'rizz once attacked bystanders in King's Cross station. The Doctor and Luke Tillyard knocked him out and took him back to the TARDIS. (PROSE: Salva Mea) C'rizz was later granted massive psychic powers on a planet that resembled Hell, with citizens who had been turned to demons save one domed city. He changed into a form that Charley likened to Lucifer. The Doctor theorised that the Eutermesans had genetically engineered C'rizz to house their souls in some mad bid for immortality. C'rizz gave up his new form and powers by restoring the planet and its citizens to their original forms. This exhausted C'rizz. He thanked the Doctor for healing his emotional wounds (save for L'da's death) and called Charley his sister before he died, his body turning to ashes. (AUDIO: Absolution)
- A resident of the Divergent Universe, C'rizz joined the Eighth Doctor and Charlie Pollard after they were exiled there. Some sort of monk with chameleon skin powers, he got shat on over and over as they all traveled the zones, searching for the TARDIS. I'm still listening to the Divergent Universe arc, so I don't know what happens to him yet, but given his luck so far, it can't be good. I feel bad for the guy. Spoilers: He doesn't get any character development for two years, and as a result, despite having a solid actor, you stop feeling sorry for him as he gets first boring and then annoying and then near-Adric. Right near the end of the arc, he gets two stories where he's an interesting guy. Then there's a big bombshell that explains why he was never a good companion in the first place, but that doesn't retroactively make the last two years of audios that you bought any better, even if you listen to them again. It does manage to make the two where he was good kind of confusing, though. Bravo Russell. He gets better after that, but really, what doesn't get better after the Divergent arc? I'm also not sure why the CD covers and Big Finish website insist that he's "C'rizz" rather than "Carys". Carys is a perfectly normal Welsh name, just like Terry Nation, even if it's a girl's name, just like Terry Nation. And Doctor Who never ever does stupid apostrophe names, unlike Star Trek and Stargate and Star Wars and all the other F&SF series. And even in bad SF that does use them, they never stand for that sound. But anyway, if the writers are trying to make him seem more alien, they seem to have forgotten that this is an audio series, so it doesn't actually work at all. Besides, Carys (besides being a girl's name) makes perfect sense for someone who speaks English (yes, the aliens in this other universe where the too-un-humanoid aliens got sent by Rassilon all speak English, and their species are named in scientific Greek, and they make it absolutely clear that none of that is the TARDIS translating for us or anything after psyching you out to think otherwise) and appears in a series of stories with a bunch of references to Welsh words and myths.
