== Biography ==
== Biography ==
During the [[Last Great Time War]], Ollistra was present when a Gallifreyan reported the destruction of the Dalek fleet and the death of the Doctor. Horrified, Olistra laments Time Lord soldiers Bennus and Arverton when they allow the [[War Doctor]] to activate the Dalek [[Time Destructor]] instead of them, a blast no Time Lord can survive. Ollistra attends the Doctor's funeral, sceptical of his demise. With her strong belief that the Doctor was still alive, she sent [[Veklin]] to search for him. After gaining control of the [[Eye of Harmony]] of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], Ollistra pulled the Doctor from [[Keska]] when he refused to go home. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Innocent (audio story)|The Innocent]]'')

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Innocent (audio story)|The Innocent]]'', ''[[The Side of the Angels (audio story)|The Side of the Angels]]'') She [[regeneration|regenerated]] several times and, in [[War Ollistra|her war incarnation]], told the [[Fourth Tamasan]] that she could remember her first few bodies "like yesterday".

She later built a team, consisting of the War Doctor, Veklin, [[Bennus]] and [[Arverton]], to rescue [[Seratrix]], a Time Lord strategist, in the "[[Null Zone]]". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Thousand Worlds (audio story)|The Thousand Worlds]]'') It was later revealed that the scheme underneath the mission was to purge the idea of Seratrix to make peace with the [[Dalek]]. The reason why she sent the "rescue team" was because she believed that the Doctor, Bennus, and Arverton were followers of the belief of Seratrix so they should be killed together with him.
[[Ollistra (The Side of the Angels)|One incarnation]] was part of the [[High Council]] and had dealings with [[the Doctor]], both in his [[Seventh Doctor|seventh]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dark Universe (audio story)|Dark Universe]]'') and [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnations]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Side of the Angels (audio story)|The Side of the Angels]]'')


After the War Doctor stopped the plan of the Daleks to explode the thousand planets, Ollistra came and revealed her plan to the Doctor.

She was looking for the Doctor in order for him to understand the whether they should use the [[anima device]]. She then decided to take on a mission to [[Asteroid Theta 12]] to discover the secrets that they were the war council was hearing. She was reluctant to save [[Jarad]]. She discovered the research that the Daleks were doing. The Doctor got her to use the anima device in order to destroy the Dalek fleet. The Doctor left her behind on the Asteroid.

Ollistra followed the Doctor to the [[Neverwhen]] as his TARDIS was used to travelling to strange places. She was interested in the results of the weapon that created the Neverwhen, especially because it resurrected Time Lords.

She went to a retreat to gain information about a Dalek Spy in the High Council, where she was taken by General [[Fesk]] to be used as a bargining chip between the Sontarans and both the Daleks and the Time lords to let them into the war. She discussed the beginnings of the war with the [[Dalek Time Strategist]]. She was rescued when Fesk was trapped with the Doctor with their temporal weapon. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Eternity Cage (audio story)|The Eternity Cage]]'')
 
She was then taken prisoner by Heleyna and who was the spy. Ollistra then used the [[Battle TARDIS]]' to save the Doctor when he was falling through the [[Rovidia|Rovidian]] atmosphere. She fell to the lower levels of the TARDIS, and ended up in the infirmary. Heylena wanted her as she was one of the [[War Council]] and had access to the Eye, to punish her for the death of Heleyna's grandfather and prevent the war from ever happening. After the Daleks were stopped she helped the Doctor to set the time rotor to get them out of the time vortex. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Eye of Harmony (audio story)|Eye of Harmony]]'')
 
== Personality ==
Ollistra was a heartless politician, so much so that Bennus and Arverton joked over the existence of Ollistra's emotions, and was also deeply patriotic, allowing Gallifreyans to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. She displayed a discontent with the Gallifreyan armed forces, telling two soldiers "The Doctor is worth a hundred of you... people!". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Innocent (audio story)|The Innocent]]'')
 
=== Relationship with the War Doctor ===
Although Ollistra respected the Doctor's efforts for Gallifrey, she also appeared to despise him, describing him as "a thorn in [the Time Lords'] side" and "An embarrassment for most of his lives." When he was presumed dead, Ollistra confessed that she felt the universe "a far more dangerous place without [him]", displaying that she had some level of recognition for his pursuits and actions.
