History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early history[[edit] | [edit source]]
Rassilon's father had been a suet shredder. It was Rassilon who brought success to his bloodline when he became a Gallifreyan Hero. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible)
By some accounts, Omega was Rassilon's cousin. (PROSE: Remembrance of the Daleks, Gallifrey - Notes on the Planet's Background) The two of them collaborated in ensuring the bloodline's survival following Pythia's curse, changing the Rassilon Family into a Great House. From this point forwards, like all other Houses, the House of Rassilon would use its loom to have a set number of cousins with recycling traits. (PROSE: Gallifrey - Notes on the Planet's Background)
Modern era[[edit] | [edit source]]
By one account, Susan Foreman was a descendant of Rassilon. (PROSE: Birth of a Renegade)
In Barusa's universe, Barusa, Ulysses, the Doctor, and the Master were all direct descendants of Rassilon. (PROSE: The Chronicles of Doctor Who?)
During the Last Great Time War, Valerian belonged to the House of Rassilon. Valerian could trace his lineage back to Rassilon himself. (AUDIO: Desperate Measures)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Similar to claims of Rassilon descendance, the choose-your-own-adventure-style novel Search for the Doctor has the Doctor discover he is a direct descendant of Omega. Given Ben Aaronovitch's perspective that Omega was a member of Rassilon's family, one could also connect this to the House of Rassilon.
