The Legacy of Gallifrey provides his name. Additionally Time Lord messenger should be redirected here, for the reasons outlined in the merge tag on that page and the behind the scenes section here. I've already incorporated the text from there to the biography. Toqgers ☎ 03:02, April 27, 2020 (UTC)
Source on Colony in Space appearance?[[edit source]]
Looking over this, there doesn't seem to be anything linking Time Lord 2 from Colony in Space to Adelphi/The Messanger - is this in the novelisation, or is it in The Legacy of Gallifrey short story? As is, the only thing claiming this is a regenerated form of the same character is the fact he's credited as 'Time Lord 2' in both Colony and The War Games, which is... tangential at best. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by MalkHeartsStories (talk • contribs) .
- Yes, it's the novelisation — which confirms "First Time Lord", "Second Time Lord" and "Third Time Lord", used in the credits of The War Games, as actual titles within Gallifreyan hierarchy, and uses "the Second Time Lord" to refer to the Time Lord credited as "Time Lord 2" in Colony in Space. So the credit isn't in fact tangential (or anyway, Terrance Dicks didn't treat it as incidental when he wrote …and the Doomsday Weapon). Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 22:07, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
