According to [[Boy (Unnatural History)|one young member]] of [[Faction Paradox]], the Doctor was originally a [[human]] from a [[Planet (An Unearthly Child)|planetary colony]] of the [[49th century]], but [[The Doctor and Susan's escape from Gallifrey|fled]] when [[the Enemy]] invaded their home. Subsequently, the Enemy kept rewriting the Doctor's history, eventually resulting in the version of their past that they remembered as the [[Eighth Doctor]], where they had been born a [[Time Lord]], albeit possibly with some human ancestry. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'') Indeed, in their earliest remembered lives, such as the [[First Doctor]], the Doctor sometimes referred to themself as human. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sensorites (TV story)|The Sensorites]]'') While there was no way to prove the boy's claims, the Eighth Doctor found these possible revelations disturbing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'') A little while later, after discussing the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] parable of the man who dreamt he was a butterfly, the Eighth Doctor told [[Sam Jones]] that he was "just a Time Lord dreaming he’s a man", before frowning and adding: "Or is it the other way around?".

When researching the Doctor after the First Doctor fled [[Gallifrey]], former [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] agent [[Maris]] found many, contradictory, documents concerning the Doctor's early life; one birth notice claimed he was the son of a [[Penelope Gate|human mother]] and a [[Ulysses|Time Lord father]], while another claimed he was a high-born Time Lord of the [[House Lungbarrow]] created through a [[Loom]]. Maris then found three other birth documents that also disagreed on the Doctor's origin. Maris came to learn the Doctor's past was constantly shifting due to their travels through time.
