| He slumbered for thousands of years, until the [[Long Song]] ended. Then, he awoke and threatened to consume all [[Sung Sings of Akhet|the system]]'s seven [[planets]]. Eventually, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] let him take his memories instead of the valuable things of the natives of Akhet. The Doctor was then saved by [[Clara Oswin Oswald|Clara Oswald]], who gave the Old God the [[leaf]] that told all of her family's story, all that happened, all that didn't happen and all that should have happen. The overload of stories caused him to implode. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Rings of Akhaten (TV story)|The Rings of Akhaten]]'')

| The Old God somewhat resembles [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthugha Cthugha], a deity added to the Cthulhu Mythos by August Derleth. It too was a giant ball of fire, easily mistaken for a sun, that was in fact an ancient, sleeping god.
