Origins[[edit] | [edit source]]
In his youth, Madrigor was brilliant and clever and was "the youngest on Gallifrey to ever be appointed a Time Lord". Madrigor, however, had a "love of beautiful things" which turned to greed, and soon used his powers for his own ends. Eventually, a "long time" before the Third Doctor's day, the Time Lords found out that he had been travelling through time and space to other planets and stealing artefacts from them. He was put on trial but disappeared from Gallifrey immediately thereafter, and the Time Lords were unable to him, only hearing secondhand of his occasional plunders. In fact, Madrigor had made his home on Lunargov III, a small, artificial planet which could move from atmosphere to atmosphere, with Terrestoid robots as attendants.

Encounter with the Third Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]
Eventually, Madrigor learned of the development of a new device called the Time Ioniser; he developed a plan to seize control of it by coanquering Gallifrey with his Terrestoids, then using the Ioniser to rewrite all of history so that he had been the ruler of all from the earliest eras of the universe. He allowed himself to be detected by the Time Lords, knowing that they would send Doctor Who to investigate; he lay in wait as the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith arrived on Lunargov III, taking them prisoner before his plan even began, thus hoping to make sure the Doctor would not defeat him after he had begun to put it into motion. However, this backfired when the Doctor and Sarah were able to escape from their electrified cell using the Doctor's Ion Polarity Retarder, quickly finding the control room and locking Lungargov III's coordinates for "somewhere where he c[ould]n't do any harm".

Possible fate[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Sixth Doctor would later recognise Astrolabus as a formerly honoured Time Lord who had become infamous as "the Thief of Time". Astrolabus's TARDIS, by then, had taken the form of a lighthouse at the edge of the universe. (COMIC: Voyager [+]Loading...["Voyager (comic story)"])
"The Time Thief" may have been the Time Lord with whom one group of adventurers travelled. (PROSE: I Walk in Eternity [+]Loading...["I Walk in Eternity (feature)"])
