Emily Blandish was a time channeller who was formerly part of the Sodality before becoming an amnesiac lost in 1949.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Chancellor joined the Sodality because she was misled by a duplicitous lover. She was then brainwashed by their advanced techniques. She was present with the Grand Master when Mastho was summoned in 1586. After this event she was promoted to High Executioner, and controlled the Sodality by 2586.
The Doctor, under the alias Dr Smith, was trying to stop the Sodality from existing, so that hundreds of time sensitives would not be killed by them.
