The Keepers ruled for thousands of years with the power of the Source. The Source allowed Keepers to take control of minds and to materialise anywhere.

One Keeper once met with Victoria Waterfield in the Grove. He had seen a glimpse of Traken's future, and to preserve it gave to Victoria a lachanium flower containing a piece of his mind, such that she would one day create Viola, through which Traken's heritage could survive. (PROSE: The Astronomer's Apprentice [+]Loading...["The Astronomer's Apprentice (short story)"])

Another Keeper asked the Fourth Doctor for assistance in preventing the takeover of the bioelectronic Source by evil.

(TV: The Keeper of Traken)
