From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
(don't think anyone on traken regards the keeper as a deity. they know full well the keeper is one of their own, elevated to the position. it's more an office than anything.)

History

The first Keeper was the Fifth Doctor. He defeated the inventor of the Source, Kwundaar. He gave the title to Shayla. (AUDIO: Primeval)

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. Drawing on all the minds of the Union, they protected the planets. Every thousand years, a new Keeper would be chosen when the old one died. (TV: The Keeper of Traken)

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. After this Keeper's death, Kassia briefly took over the role, before she was killed and replaced by the Decayed Master. After the Master was stopped by the Doctor, Luvic became the Keeper. (TV: The Keeper of Traken)

When a wave of entropy spread across part of N-Space, Traken and the Keeper were consumed. (TV: Logopolis)
