The Eleventh Doctor believed himself to be an instance of a multiversal archetype who kept the Cosmic Balance between Law and Chaos. Captain Cornelius was another instance of this archetype.
After the end of the Last Great Time War, with all the Time Lords gone, the Doctor had no direct counterparts of himself in the multiverse. However, he believed that other people existed in Renark's multiverse who took the same actions as him to fulfill the same destinies. He called them echoes of echoes and shadows of shadows, with there being no original instance of this archetype and all instances being reflections of each other. Cornelius describes this phenomenon as functioning like "wheels within wheels". (PROSE: The Coming of the Terraphiles [+]Loading...["The Coming of the Terraphiles (novel)"])
