Tagdot

Tagdot was a Tectonese male shown in the Alien Nation episode Night of the Screams.

An ancient Tectonese leader, he was described as "evil consumed by madness" who demanded adulation from others. When the Great Fathers of Tecton refused to give him that adulation he and his armies massacred those who opposed him, with Tagdot's preferred method of execution being to chop off appendages - hands, feet, etc - and watching his victims bleed to death. Because the nights broke with the screams of his victims he became known as The Night Broker.

Tagdot eventually died. The stories about him were passed from generation to generation of Newcomers as a warning against giving in to their darker impulses, that the evil that consumed Tagdot existed in all Tectonese and to give in to that evil would drive an individual mad as it had with Tagdot.
