[[Coordinator]] '''Narvinectralonum''' ('''Narvin''' for short) was a [[Time Lord]] who replaced [[Vansell|Coordinator Vansell]] as head of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency|Celestial Intervention Agency (CIA)]] following Vansell's death aboard the [[Time Station]] during the [[anti-time]] crisis.
'''Narvinectralonum''' ('''Narvin''' for short) was a [[Time Lord]] and an important figure in the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. He rose to the position of [[Coordinator]] before being made [[Romana II]]'s [[Deputy Coordinator]], serving during the early stages of the [[Last Great Time War]]. After her attempt to assassinate President [[Rassilon]], he and Romana were exiled from [[Gallifrey]] together.


== Biography ==
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
=== Early life ===
Narvin was of the [[Patrex Chapter]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'')
A member of [[House Witforge]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Transference (audio story)}}) Narvin belonged to the [[Patrex Chapter]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}}) [[Narvin's father|His father]] was an [[engineer]], a job that Narvin did not want to pursue as he considered it to be "a lot less fun" than working for the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Havoc (audio story)}}) and his uncle [[Rexin]] was [[exile]]d to [[Lowtown]] for drawing attention to himself. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Transference (audio story)}}) When he was young, Narvin looked into the [[Untempered Schism]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Do (audio story)}})


==== Project Alpha ====
Narvin studied basic [[astrophysics]] and [[astronomy]] at the [[Time Lord Academy]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Annihilation (audio story)}}') and was acquainted with [[Clemantia]], whom he trusted. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Collaborators (audio story)}}) [[Tauras]] once implied that Narvin had [[regeneration|regenerated]] at least once. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Intervention Earth (audio story)}}) Early in his career, Rexin asked Narvin to help get his children [[Helico]] and [[Lenaris]] into [[the Capitol]], but he refused as he did not wish to jeopardise his position. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Transference (audio story)}})
Many centuries before becoming Coordinator, Narvin had been a technician working under [[Glower]] on [[Project Alpha]] to develop a [[Timonic Fusion Device]]. They were warned of dire consequences by Ambassador [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]], but the two dismissed his theories and proceeded with the test. The resulting catastrophe destroyed the [[planet]] [[Minyos]] and necessitated the CIA to conceal the involvement of the Time Lords. Narvin took up a position in the agency not long afterwards and as Braxiatel put it, "never looked back." Narvin and Braxiatel harboured a long-standing enmity towards each other. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'')


==== As Sub-Coordinator ====
Working as a [[technician]] under [[Glower]], Narvin was a part of [[Project Alpha]] and assisted in the development of the [[Timonic Fusion Device]] despite the warnings of [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]]. The catastrophe caused by the detonation of the device destroyed [[Minyos]] and necessitated a cover-up of the [[Time Lord]]s' involvement by the CIA. He and Braxiatel harboured a long-standing enmity towards one another thereafter. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Inquiry (audio story)}})
Narvin was sent to Bellascon by [[Vansell]] to investigate the time travel technology being constructed by the natives of the planet. It was there that Narvin met the Doctor for the first time, in his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]] who was travelling alongside [[Adric]] and also investigating the technology. Adric was suddenly wiped from history and Narvin realised that his ancestors had been killed when the ship that they were on exploded. The Doctor sent Narvin back in time to prevent the explosion, where he discovered that one of the people involved with the technology had gone back to prevent all of the Doctor's companions from being born. Narvin killed him and the Doctor brought him back. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Erasure (audio story)|Erasure]]'')
 
=== Rise through the ranks ===
Not long after Project Alpha, Narvin took up a position at the CIA and "never looked back". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Inquiry (audio story)}}) When asked why he joined the CIA, he answered that it was because of the lack of [[diplomacy]] and the less impractical robes. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Appropriation (audio story)}}) He trained for two hundred [[year]]s on [[Gallifrey]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)}}) and eagerly sought to impress [[Vansell]], whom he would later believe was irritated by him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Do (audio story)}}) Whilst in training, he was able to bounce ideas off of Vansell, [[Matthias]] and [[Kelner]], the latter of whom he was less fond of. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Don't (audio story)}})
 
At one point he visited the Patrex Chapter retreat on [[Micallon]] but grew frustrated there and took a TARDIS back to the Capitol, determined to make a difference in the CIA. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dissolution (audio story)}}) In time, he moved up the ranks, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Inquiry (audio story)}}) eventually becoming [[Sub-Coordinator]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}}) 
 
Narvin was sent to [[Bellascon]] by Vansell to investigate the [[time travel]] technology being constructed by the natives of the [[planet]]. It was there that Narvin met [[the Doctor]] for the first time, in his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]], who was travelling alongside [[Adric]] and also investigating the technology. Adric was suddenly wiped from history and Narvin realised that his ancestors had been killed when the ship that they were on exploded. The Doctor sent Narvin back in time to prevent the explosion, where he discovered that one of the people involved with the technology had gone back to prevent all of the Doctor's [[companion]]s from being born. Narvin killed him and the Doctor brought him back. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}})
 
Narvin attended a meeting which included the Celestial Intervention Agency and the castellans where Braxiatel remarked that chapters and houses were no longer of the highest import. Narvin disagreed with him, and later wondered if Brax had been referencing his own family history. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Do (audio story)}})

{{section stub|''[[The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)|The Quantum Possibility Engine]]'' needs to be added. It takes place before ''Weapon of Choice''.}}
==== Early career ====
After becoming Coordinator, Narvin gained permission from Romana to wipe Bellascon from history using Time Lord technology. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Erasure (audio story)|Erasure]]'')
[[File:Narvin and Adric.jpg|thumb|left|Narvin early in his career at the CIA. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Erasure (audio story)|Erasure]]'')]]
Shortly after becoming Coordinator, Narvin gained permission from [[Romana II|President Romana]] to use the [[Oubliette of Eternity]] one last time to wipe [[Bellascon]] from history. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}})
 
Narvin exploited Gallifrey's operation to help the [[Monan Host]] rebuild following the [[Etra Prime incident|Daleks’ attack]] to restructure [[Monan|their planet]]'s hyperspatial links. This meant that, with the correct equation, Narvin would be able to destroy the Monans should the need arise. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Square One (Gallifrey audio story)}})
 
Narvin was sent to investigate [[Josiah W. Dogbolter]]'s experimentation into the combination of Time Lord and [[Speravore]] technology to create the [[Quantum Possibility Engine]]. He lost [[Narvin's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] along the way and met the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Ace|Ace McShane]] - both of whom he freed using [[Narvin's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] - and, later, [[Melanie Bush]]. After the engine was activated, a new [[timeline]] was created in which Narvin worked for [[Kaltron, Inc.]] as an [[air oven]] designer. His [[memory|memories]] were returned and both Dogbolter and the [[Krasi]] were defeated, after which Narvin asked the Doctor if he could take him back in his [[The Doctor's TARDIS|"scrap" TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)}})
 
While Gallifrey was under the influence of the [[Now (species)|Now]], Narvin struggled to resist and sought to bring the alternate version of [[Unbound Doctor|the Doctor]] from [[Unbound Universe|another universe]], who was currently travelling in the prime universe with [[Bernice Summerfield]], to Gallifrey in hopes of him providing a solution. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Gallifrey (audio story)}}) He announced their capture when they were located. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Inertia (audio story)}}) He brought the Doctor and Benny back to Gallifrey and stood as prosecutor to the Doctor's trial. When the Doctor concocted a solution to Gallifrey's predicament that would involve the genocide of the Now, Narvin took it upon himself to use it, and revealed this to have been his plan from the start. He was indignant to the Doctor's disgust and told him that he didn't belong there any more than any Doctor from his universe, earning him a punch from Benny. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Gallifrey (audio story)}})
 
When [[Andred (The Invasion of Time)|Andred]] pretended to be against Romana's reforms and arranged a meeting, Narvin was suspicious of him and sent [[Torvald]] to meet with him instead. Andred killed Torvald and took on his identity, after which Narvin covered up the incident. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Blind Eye (audio story)}}
 
==== Campaign against Romana ====
Narvin lied to Romana about [[Project Alpha]] when a supposed [[Timonic Fusion Device]] was taken by [[Nepenthe]] on the [[Third Moon of Kikrit]] and sent Andred with [[Leela]] and [[K9 Mark I]] to [[Gryben]] to recover it, secretly giving Torvald a [[translocation beamer]] to get the device back to [[the Capitol]]. He ordered [[Battle TARDIS]]es be sent to Gryben when the device was seemingly armed and encouraged Romana to destroy the planet, but she refused; he later went to [[Darkel]] to instigate an [[inquiry]] into Romana's actions. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Weapon of Choice (audio story)}})
 
Romana sent Narvin to a [[temporal summit]] which, unbeknownst to him, was a fake. He argued with [[V'rell]] and [[Flinkstab]] before [[Hossak]] reset time the first time and was framed for [[Pule]]'s death by [[Baano]] before the second. Finally, the restructuring of [[Monan]]'s hyperspatial links was exposed, although Romana covered up Narvin's involvement by claiming that it was done by unknown elements and gave him full credit for helping flush out Baano and V'rell. He was, however, unhappy that he had been sent to a fake summit. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Square One (Gallifrey audio story)}})


Narvin was sent to investigate the experimentation that [[Josiah W. Dogbolter]] was doing, combining Time Lord and [[Speravore]] technology to create the [[Quantum Possibility Engine]]. He lost [[Narvin's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] along the way though. He let the Doctor and Ace out using [[Narvin's sonic screwdriver|his own sonic screwdriver]]. This was when he met Ace for the first time. The trio arrived to find Mel working with Dogbolter. [[Hob]] activated the engine, to which the three vanished into a new timeline. There, Narvin worked for [[Kaltron, Inc]]., as an [[air oven]] designer. He wascontinually surprised by others' lack of knowledge around "simple" technology, like [[vortex manipulator|vortex manipulators]] and [[Dimension dam|dimension dams]]. He managed to get his memories back when Mel reunited with him, Ace, and the Doctor. When Dogbolter destroyed the [[Krasi]] after they raged war, he asked the Doctor if he could take him back in his [[The Doctor's TARDIS|"scrap" TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: [[The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)|''The Quantum Possibility Engine'']])[[File:Narvin.jpg|thumb|right|Narvin after the Civil War. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Panacea (audio story)|Panacea]]'')]]
Narvin was a [[witness]] at the inquiry into Romana's response to the Timonic Fusion Device and insisted that the device could not possibly have been built. Following the discovery of a [[data bomb]] in [[the Matrix]], Narvin sought to discover who had planted it and identified the culprit as Braxiatel, whom he had Andred arrest. At knifepoint, he told Leela about her husband's supposed death and was later forced by Braxiatel to confess that the Timonic Fusion Device had been stolen. He was also unsuccessful in getting Braxiatel charged with his crimes. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Inquiry (audio story)}})


Romana chastised him when his CIA agents lost a source of weapons-grade Chronons. He sent Andred to [[Gryben]] with [[Leela]] to discover information about [[Free Time]]. After Andred sent [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] to Narvin, he took him to Romana as he knew about the [[Timonic Fusion Device]]. This escalated into [[Nepenthe]] making a threat of temporal war when he sent [[Battle TARDIS]]es in orbit whilst the [[Monan Host]] had a security force on the planet. When Romana stopped an attack he realised that she was right as it would destroy the evidence of the device. He then demanded an inquiry. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'')
[[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] contacted Narvin and informed him that Torvald was corrupt. Narvin kept this information from Andred, whom he still believed to be Torvald, and went with him in search of [[Cecelia Pollard]] with a [[displacement monitor]]. He finally learnt the truth about Andred's identity and, at Romana's command, happily burned away six months of the real Torvald's memories so as not to disrupt the timeline. He felt an immediate loathing for Andred for killing one of his operatives. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Blind Eye (audio story)}})


He was later sent as the Time Lord delegate to a temporal conference. At the conference, he tried to convince the potential problems with looking into the past failures of time faring races. He was informed by [[Flinkstab]] on how the Monans gained their temporal powers. He framed by [[Baano]] for the murder of [[Pule]] of [[Unvoss]] before time was rewritten by [[Hossak]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Square One (Gallifrey audio story)|Square One]]'')
Narvin was unable to sleep after [[Pandora]] began using his mental energy to feed herself, leaving him exhausted. He allied himself with Darkel due to their shared belief that off-world students should not be admitted to the [[Time Lord Academy|Gallifreyan Academy]] and began manipulating [[Wynter (Lies)|Wynter]] into thinking that Romana might make him redundant. Narvin was knocked out by K9 to stop Pandora from using his energy, causing her to become trapped in her Matrix partition. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lies (audio story)}})


After Romana's actions on Gryben, Narvin demanded an inquiry but failed to get her arrested or charged. He eventually teamed with the [[Inquisitor]] [[Darkel]] in an attempt to remove her from her office, along with her supporters, one of whom was Braxiatel. As part of the investigation, he discovered a data bomb in the matrix and found an [[Artron energy|artron]] imprint all over it. He had analysed the imprint and found out that it belonged to someone who was going backwards and forward in time. He gave this information to Romana. He went to arrest Braxiatel. Leela asked him about Andred's disappearance and he admitted that Torvald had killed Andred. He wanted to get Braxiatel tried for his interference in time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'')
After Romana arranged for the transport of the broken man to Gallifrey, Narvin and Wynter argued over whose jurisdiction the matter came under; as [[Dogma Virus|the pathogen]] was likely alien, Narvin believed that it came under the CIA's remit. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Spirit (audio story)}})


As Chief Coordinator, Narvin was originally against the [[Lady President]] [[Romana II|Romana]] and her liberal reforms and drew the suspicions of the [[Castellan]] at the time, Andred. Correctly assuming that he was being drawn into a trap, he sent [[Torvald]] in his place when they agreed to meet, which cost [[Torvald]] his life and [[Andred]] a regeneration, though Narvin was unaware of this. Believing Andred to be Torvald, he quickly covered up the event to protect "Torvald", only admitting that he had done so when held at knifepoint by [[Leela]] and only discovering the truth after Andred's confession during the [[Cecelia Pollard]] incident on [[3 September]] [[1939]]. Narvin immediately felt a loathing for Andred, which he implied would not have been as strong if Andred had not killed one of his operatives. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
Narvin interrogated [[Gillestes]] after Wynter arrested her. He and Darkel went to raise the alarm after Pandora possessed Wynter, but he was not taken in by Darkel's insistence that Romana or Braxiatel must have been behind her release and warned her that she was playing a dangerous game. He supported Andred's appointment as [[Castellan]] following Wynter's death and publicly exposed Braxiatel's violation of the [[First Law of Time]], which forced Romana to strip him of his title of Chancellor and exile him in disgrace. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Pandora (audio story)}}) Narvin was surprised the President subsequently allowed [[Valyes]] to take the role of Chancellor, given his opposition to her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Do (audio story)}})


He disliked the fact that Romana opened up the academy to offworlders. He had to explain to Darkel that the CIA wasn't a secret police and most of his work was covering up the holes politicians left behind. He warned Darkel that she should be careful. He questioned [[Wynter (Lies)|Wynter]] about his lack of experience to be [[Castellan]] as he had just graduated from the Academy. He chastised Andred about what he'd had done. He later told Wynter that Braxiatel was being placed in charge with everything. When Andred escaped, he told Wynter that he knew that would happen. He was framed for the murder of the [[Archivist (The Inquiry)|Archivist]]. He was constantly tired because of [[Pandora]] hitching a ride on his brainwaves. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'')
Due to the declining political situation, Narvin and the CIA recovered [[Aesino]] from a temporal [[cul-de-sac]] and attached her to Wynter's TARDIS in the [[Anomaly Vaults]], planning on using her as an [[assassin]]. However, they were unable to fully stabilise her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fractures (audio story)}})


He was at the Inquiry into the Pandora incident. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Spirit (audio story)|Spirit]]'')
Chancellor Valyes contacted him to rescue a group of alien students who had wandered into the Catacombs. Taking his trainee Cadet [[Kransa]] along, Narvin encountered a [[Time Shade]], the [[Shade of Portent]], who showed him a vision of his future and revealed it had lured the students there to bring him. Narvin awoke and led the students out of the Catacombs, though was now unable to recall Kransa ever having existed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Do (audio story)}})


He wanted jurisdiction over the mysterious body that appeared on [[Davidia]], thinking he had the right to it over [[Wynter (Lies)|Wynter]]. He became frustrated when K9 was the only one who could fully access the Matrix. He conversed with Wynter about how to proceed with [[Gillestes]] after she was captured. He knew that Darkel had access to Braxiatel Matrix codes and started to mistrust her. Though Braxiatel took him into his confidence by confessing that he was in frequent contact with past and future selves (a very serious crime), Narvin betrayed him, using the information to get Braxiatel dishonourably exiled and to puncture a hole in Romana's credibility. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pandora (audio story)|Pandora]]'')
When [[Duaden|Archivist Duaden]] informed him that Romana was finding a way to connect to the Matrix, Narvin believed that she might already be under Pandora's control and was worried for Gallifrey, but Darkel told him to remain loyal to her until he had an unimpeachable reason not to. He was ready to contact the [[Chancellery Guard]] when he detected [[Taylor Addison]] in [[the Vaults]], but Darkel suggested that he wait to do so, resulting in Taylor's death. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Insurgency (audio story)}})


He was concerned about Romana interfacing with the Matrix and contacting Pandora. Upon speaking with Romana he believed that she was acting out of character. He informed Romana that the high Monan wanted to remove all their students from the Academy. He was threatened by Darkel by exposing that she had CIA codes if he started to doubt. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'') He informed Romana about the bombs in the academy. He argued against Darkel for her actions relating to the terrorist bombings. Romana asked him to investigate the bombings and Leela bargained with him for all information he obtained about it. He found out that he was being set up again as a scapegoat for the bombs in the academy. He went to warn Romana that she was in danger of being caught in the third explosion. Unfortunately, misjudging the extent of Darkel's ambitions, his actions and his trust in her (despite the fact that she obviously felt very cavalier about the idea of him being arrested) ended up indirectly causing the release of [[Pandora]] and the resulting civil war that threw the entire planet into turmoil. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Imperiatrix (audio story)|Imperiatrix]]'') Narvin later admitted that he had made a mistake in betraying Braxiatel's trust. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mindbomb (audio story)|Mindbomb]]'')
Narvin was on the scene after the Academy was bombed and had the alien students taken to safety, guarded by CIA agents. He was upset by the attack but could not properly investigate without exposing himself due to his belief that Darkel had sanctioned the bombing and used his codes, instead using the alien students at the [[scaphe port]] as bait to draw the guilty party out. He and Leela determined that [[Antimon]] was the bomber, having put bombs in his [[camera drone]]s, and warned Romana that the drones in the [[Panopticon]] likely held bombs as well, allowing K9 to stop them. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Imperiatrix (audio story)}})


Narvin was involved in the development of the assassin Aesino, a being that had been fractured through time, which he (presumably along with other members of the CIA) had hooked up to the late Castellan [[Wynter]]'s TARDIS, or at the least the one he had stolen. He was unable to perfect it before war broke out and never suggested it as a weapon, fearing what the Vault's [[consciousness]] would do if ever in the possession of a Time Lord President.
==== Civil War ====
[[File:Leela and Narvin Fractures.jpg|thumb|right|Narvin and Leela during the [[Gallifreyan Civil War]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fractures (audio story)|Fractures]]'')]]
Narvin allied himself with Romana during the [[Gallifreyan Civil War]]. He was badly wounded by the premature detonation of a [[percussion bomb]] whilst sabotaging the [[Artron Forum]] and had to be taken to [[Elbon]] in [[Drylands|the Outlands]] for treatment, later going to the Vaults with Leela to save Romana and prevent her from being taken over by the sentience therein. He successfully got himself, Romana, Leela and [[Hallan]] to safety at the Academy using Braxiatel's [[transmat|matter transmitter]] and agreed that it was an ideal place for their new base of operations. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fractures (audio story)}})


When Pandora was released and began to wreak havoc on Gallifrey, he joined Romana's side in the civil war and nearly regenerated (possibly for the first time) in a premature bomb explosion which also blinded Leela. He was taken with Leela to a medical station in the Outlands. After recovering, he discovered that Romana had gone to the Anomaly Vaults and was concerned as he didn't want [[The Sentience (Fractures)|The Sentience]] to have hold of president. Eventually transporting into the Anomaly Vaults to save Romana, he managed to engineer Romana, Leela, [[Commander]] [[Hallan]]'s and his own escape to the ruined remnants of the Academy. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fractures (audio story)|Fractures]]'') He helped build a stronghold there, creating his own adaptation of certain [[the Matrix|Matrix]] partitions, in effect a force field capable of keeping everything out. He had a standoff with Darkel outside of his barriers where Darkel managed to plant a [[Bug Bomb]] on him. Luckily, Leela managed to get it off him. He reported to Romana that there is a biohazard and realised that Pandora had re-engineered it with her own DNA. He suggested that Hallan should freeze himself until a cure was found. Narvin created a new partition to allow Romana was able to enter the APC Net chamber and eventually defeat Pandora. Though Narvin had started as a someone who would have liked nothing better to see Romana defamed, he ended up, unexpectedly, after the events of [[Free Time]], [[Pandora]], and [[Darkel]]'s machinations, as one of the staunchest supporters of Romana and one of the few senior Time Lords who continued to be so after the civil war had ended. When Romana ultimately chose to sacrifice herself along with Pandora and the Matrix, Narvin was the only one who actively attempted to save her as his President and as was his duty, as [[Matthias]] had accepted her decision and [[Elbon]] didn't care. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Warfare (audio story)|Warfare]]'')

When Romana ultimately chose to sacrifice herself along with Pandora and the Matrix, Narvin was the only one who actively attempted to save her as his President, seeing it as his duty, as [[Matthias]] had accepted her decision and [[Elbon]] didn't care. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Warfare (audio story)}})


Following the war he wanted Mathias to become acting president instead of Valyes, however, Matthias said that by law that this couldn't happen. When the [[Sunari]] invaded he was worried about Romana's safety. He took great risks in keeping Romana informed and alive during the election preceding the war and also did everything in his power to try and prevent Darkel from obtaining the Presidency, even going so far as to say that if she were ever elected, he would resign from his position. Romana asked him to help and Leela and K9 as well as suggesting that he should make himself a candidate. He managed to repair the transduction barriers, but this destroyed the [[Nekkistani]] and Sunari fleet by accident. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Appropriation (audio story)|Appropriation]]'')

He suggested to Leela and K9 to become Romana's legal counsel when she was arrested. Darkel wanted to know which side in the election Narvin supported. Narvin president over the presidential hustings. Narvin thought that Darkel's assassin was asked to do it for political gain. He worked out that Romana's cell was bugged so got her to visit him. He got Leela and K9 to search Braxiatel's office. [[Annos]] asked for his advice when Darkel ordered Annos to execute [[Janartis]]. When Braxiatel pardoned both Romana and Janartis, he announced that Janartis had revealed Darkel's plans. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mindbomb (audio story)|Mindbomb]]'')

He warned Matthias not to allow [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] as he was a known criminal. He was worried about the potential deal they were making. He asked Leela to give evidence about Arkadian. Following Arkadian to the biodata archive, he was time scooped to the [[Braxiatel Collection]] by accident. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Panacea (audio story)|Panacea]]'')

==== Exploring alternate Gallifreys ====
==== Exploring alternate Gallifreys ====
Braxiatel brought him to the [[Axis]], where they started exploring alternative realities. He didn't want to leave the Biodata Archive behind. He felt like he didn't fit in on this version of Gallifrey. He learnt that the Time Lords were selling Gallifrey's secrets and TARDISes to the highest bidder. When trapped on [[Gallifrey (Reborn)|an alternative Gallifrey]] where regenerations were extracted and sold among Time Lords, Narvin had his remaining lives stolen from him as a form of torture. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'')
Braxiatel brought him to the [[Axis]], where they started exploring alternative realities. He didn't want to leave the Biodata Archive behind. He felt like he didn't fit in on this version of Gallifrey. He learnt that the Time Lords were selling Gallifrey's secrets and TARDISes to the highest bidder. When trapped on [[Gallifrey (Reborn)|an alternate Gallifrey]] where regenerations were extracted and sold among Time Lords, Narvin had his remaining lives stolen from him as a form of torture. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Reborn (audio story)}})
 
He visited another [[Gallifrey (Disassembled)|alternate Gallifrey]], where he was appalled that they were temporal interventionists. The [[Burner Doctor]] told him that he was a paradox, this was because the version of him in that reality was killed by an alternate Leela. He thought this was the cause of the Axis system collapse. He helped Braxiatel find the source of the instability. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Disassembled (audio story)}})
 
[[File:Narvin Forever.jpg|thumb|right|Narvin whilst on an [[Gallifrey (Forever)|alternate Gallifrey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Forever (audio story)|Forever]]'')]]
After losing Braxiatel after the system collapse he explored many realities with just Leela as Romana would not join them until they found a [[Gallifrey (Annihilation)|Gallifrey]] which was unusual. He started to notice that Leela was ageing. He found out that this Gallifrey contained a vampire race. When Leela wanted to become one of [[Borusa (Annihilation)|Borusa]]'s hounds he was concerned as she might die and he would be alone. He went with Leela to help her take down the transduction barriers. He was attacked by Lord [[Prydon]] and had to tell Romana that he could no longer regenerate. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Annihilation (audio story)}})
 
He wanted to stay somewhere for more than one day. He found out that his counterpart on the [[Gallifrey (Forever)|final Gallifrey]] they visited was the Lord Chancellor, and how ruthless he was. Knowing the attitudes of his counterpart, he could obtain information about the time travel experiments. When his counterpart sacrificed his life to save the planet when the [[Krilig]] attacked, Narvin took his place as Chancellor after they were stranded on the planet. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Forever (audio story)}})
 
Romana put him in charge of finding new time technology so that they could get home. He reminded her that the council had doubts about her as she was less ruthless than her counterpart. He warned Romana against negotiating with the outsiders. He was framed by [[Allora]] for an assassination attempt on Leela. Romana used this to get more information about Allora by placing them in the same cell. He was released after it was discovered that Valyes was behind the attempt. Narvin told [[Kavil]] that he had covered up his part in the assassination attempt as they needed him to help them get back to the Axis. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Emancipation (Gallifrey audio story)}})
 
Narvin oversaw a conference of the Gallifreyan scientists that explored time travel technologies and had heard of [[Jonias]]. He was a bit suspicious of using money as an incentive. He employed [[Maris]] to look after Leela and find a research base. He found out about the ethics violation that Jonias had performed as there were experiments done on the former slaves. He questioned Jonias about it. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Evolution (audio story)}})
 
He had Kavil strengthen the signal coming from the Axis. He informed Romana that Lord [[Zakar]]'s ship had been shot down. After Lord [[Zakar]] was captured by the outsiders, he visited Leela to negotiate his release. Narvin then talked to Zakar about his circumstances. He found out that Zakar knew that he and Romana were imposters and then ordered an attack to return Zakar back to the Citadel. He used the recording of Zakar showing his guilt to stop a civil war. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Arbitration (audio story)}})
 
[[File:Narvin and Dalek.jpg|thumb|left|Narvin with a Dalek. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'')]]
He knew of the fate of the [[Dalek]]s, but that knowledge didn't help him when he faced them in battle. He told the Daleks that there wasn't anything useful on this version of Gallifrey and they should leave. He tried to find a way to stop them, using his knowledge and technology available to him. Leela was surprised that he stayed to fight and look for Romana rather than save his own skin. He went to the armoury where he found experimental weapons. He saved Leela from being exterminated. He travelled back to the Axis and opened the portal to their Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Extermination (audio story)}})
 
==== Return to Gallifrey Prime ====
On returning back to his home Gallifrey, Narvin was trapped in a [[Time loop|Chronic Hysteresis]] with Leela. He found Romana's deal with [[Romana III|her next incarnation Trey]] disturbing but understood why she made it. He prepared Trey's exile on Romana's orders but had to use it to exile Romana instead due to the death of [[Kolspen]] of [[Unvoss]]. He invested Trey as president. This occurred in the Matrix. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Renaissance (audio story)}})
 
He again helped Leela when some masonry fell on her. When the Daleks invaded [[Gallifrey]], and Romana had apparently sacrificed herself to contain them, Narvin saw no other way of defeating them and sent [[Valyes]] to [[Skaro]]. There, Valyes would send the [[Fourth Doctor]] on a mission to destroy the Daleks as they were [[creation of the Daleks|being created]]. Narvin claimed, in a desperate ruse to save Romana, that he had seen a future where only Dalek life remained in the universe. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}},'' [[TV]]: {{cs|Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)}})
 
Upon discovering that Romana had been safe all along, Narvin feared that his orders to Valyes might have disastrous consequences. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}}) Indeed the [[Eleventh Doctor]] would later claim the mission to Skaro was the “first shot” of the [[Last Great Time War]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)}})
 
At some point Narvin and Leela sheltered from an earthquake in the [[House of Heartshaven]]. With Leela rendered unconscious, Narvin passed the time by telling her about his encounter with the [[Fourth Doctor]] on [[Bellascon]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}})
 
=== Shifting timelines ===
==== Facing the return of Omega ====
[[File:Narvin and Ace.jpg|thumb|right|Narvin and Ace during [[Romana III]]'s era. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Intervention Earth (audio story)|Intervention Earth]]'')]]
In the original timeline where President Romana [[regenerated]] aboard the ''[[Moros]]'', ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}}) Narvin continued to serve as Coordinator during the presidency of her [[Romana III|third incarnation]], though argued with her about the employment of [[Precog]]s. She sent him to [[Earth]] in [[BC|2986 BC]], to [[Greater Henge]], to retrieve [[Ace]] and the [[Hand of Omega]]. Though annoyed that Romana had forbade him from using his [[staser]] on the locals, Narvin did use it to show his strength to force their cooperation. He found out that his adjutant [[Tauras]] was behind the Hand's use. Then, he was brought to the [[anti-matter universe]], when he tried to stop [[Omega]] being freed; he was involved in [[telepathic contact]] with Romana and [[Lukas (Emancipation)|Lukas]] to hinder Omega's willpower. Eventually, Omega fled and Narvin managed to escape the pocket universe along with Romana and Ace. When the TARDIS they were using to escape lost power just after leaving the black hole he was left stranded with Ace after [[Irving Braxiatel]] saved Romana. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Intervention Earth (audio story)}}) Narvin was charged with treason, and [[Trave I (Enemy Lines)|Trave]] was sentenced to execute him, along with Ace, due to his part in the Omega Plot. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})
 
==== Death ====
When Braxiatel changed the timelines by travelling back in time to prevent Romana's regeneration and guided her to avoid [[Time War (Enemy Lines)|a terrible future]], Narvin carried out her orders to pre-emptively arrest the [[Adherents of Ohm]] and place the Hand of Omega under lock and key. He was made [[Deputy Coordinator]] when Romana appointed herself as the new [[Coordinator]] of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] in her last act as President before resigning for [[Livia Caralis]]. He then sent [[Ace]] to [[Outpost Delta]] to discover any plots of the [[Monan Host]] against Gallifrey. Whilst in [[the Matrix]], he was attacked by [[the Watchmaker]] and killed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})
 
==== Survival ====
Romana and Leela made an agreement with the Watchmaker to create a new stable timeline. In this version of events, Narvin became Deputy Coordinator when Romana made herself Coordinator, as in the second timeline, and, together with Ace, arrested [[Plutus]] and [[Kalbez]] on charges of [[high treason]] and attempted [[murder]], exposing their conspiracy much earlier than had occurred in the timeline in which he’d died. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})
 
=== Life as Deputy Coordinator ===
==== Preparing for war ====
Narvin attempted to prevent the coming [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] by going on secret missions as “Coordinator in Extremis”, which Coordinator Romana was actually aware of. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Desperate Measures (audio story)}}) He recruited [[the Master]] to use [[the Eminence]] against the Daleks, however the Master went rogue. Narvin recruited the Eighth Doctor to help stop him, claiming never to have met the Doctor before. He used [[the Matrix]] to show the Doctor the Master's actions on [[Heron's World]]. He knew what happened to the [[Ides Scientific Institute]] in both the pre and post [[Straxus (The Great War)|Straxus]] timeline. He then showed him a Matrix projection of what would happen after the Master's departure. He requested the President to sanction the protection of the people of Heron's world, knowing that the Doctor's involvement would aid her decision. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Death of Hope (audio story)}}) He then directed the Doctor to [[Ramosa]], and later sent him [[Liv Chenka]] as assistance. The Doctor demanded answers from him and he told the Doctor that part of the CIA were against his plans and had wanted to kill the humans the Master had infected with [[Retro-genitor particle]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reviled (audio story)}}) He later saved [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] after the Master had ejected it from a spaceship ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Masterplan (audio story)}}) and accompanied the Doctor to Earth to thwart the Master's plans to exploit the Eminence's power and take over the human race. He was captured and held in an Eminence casket whilst the Master succeeded in corrupting the minds of humanity. The Doctor defeated the Master and freed Narvin. Narvin travelled back to Gallifrey and arranged for the Master's corruption of history to be airbrushed away. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Rule of the Eminence (audio story)}})
 
Narvin contacted {{Jacobi}} once he had acquired enough [[Swenyo]] for the Time Lords' war effort. He gave him a [[Chameleon Arch]] as payment. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Sins of the Father (audio story)}})
 
==== Early stages of the Time War ====
Narvin was informed by one of his subordinates, [[Karla (Celestial Intervention)|Karla]], of the discovery of a secret [[War Council]] facility in the [[Lune Forest]]. He was later informed of the [[destruction of Phaidon]]. Narvin found out that the War Council had placed a facility within the [[Death Zone]] and sent [[Leela]] to investigate. After Leela was caught, he travelled to the Death Zone with Romana against his will. They were met by President Livia and [[Trave (Celestial Intervention)|General Trave]] who revealed the facility was part of [[Project Revenant]]. Livia shutdown the disputes between the War Council and Agency, confirming war would be formalised that evening. Together Romana and Narvin watched the broadcast in which Livia officially declared war on the Daleks. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Celestial Intervention (audio story)}})
 
Shortly after the start of the war, Valyes confronted Narvin, blaming him for the conflict due to the mission he’d sent Valyes on. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Don't (audio story)}})
 
Narvin watched Ace set off in a TARDIS for [[the Obscura]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Don't (audio story)}}) Braxiatel subsequently sent him a message informing him of the "death" of Ace and that invasion was imminent, which he passed on to Romana. She then ordered him to find the Master. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Soldier Obscura (audio story)}})
 
Narvin captured {{Jacobi}} on [[Kurnos 5]] only to discover he had swapped his mind with the [[Eighth Doctor]]. The Doctor told him the Master had set off to the [[Lehar system]] in his body and persuaded Narvin to let him track him down. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Castle of Kurnos 5 (audio story)}}) Narvin told him the Time Lords could take him as far as [[Redemption (planet)|Redemption]] and gave him a credit card with a million credits to fund his travels to the Lehar system. Narvin later expressed concern about some of the crew he picked to travel with him, especially [[Ilya]] who could recognise the Master's appearance from [[Project Blackstar]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Edge of Redemption (audio story)}})


He visited another [[Gallifrey (Disassembled)|alternate Gallifrey]], where he was appalled that they were temporal interventionists. The [[Burner Doctor]] told him that he was was a paradox, this was because the version of him in that reality was killed by an alternative Leela. He thought this was the cause of the Axis system collapse. He helped Braxiatel find the source of the instability. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'')
[[File:Narvin and Daleks.jpg|thumb|Narvin with two [[Dalek]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Anti-Genesis (audio anthology)|Anti-Genesis]]'')|alt=|left]]
Whilst Acting Coordinator Narvin was told by [[Crazlus]] that the Master had arrived on Gallifrey, seemingly finally dead. He ordered Crazlus to dispose of the Master’s body, however Crazlus secretly resurrected him. Crazlus told him the Master had been attempting to steal the Anti-Genesis codes, leading to Narvin going to check their defences with him. This inadvertently gave the Master access to them, stealing them right in front of Narvin. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|From the Flames (audio story)}}) Narvin worked with President Livia to try to combat the Master’s subsequent interference in the Daleks’ creation but they were unsuccessful, with Gallifrey being struck by temporal shockwaves as the Master rewrote history. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Master's Dalek Plan (audio story)}}) During the shockwaves Narvin was target by [[Unbound Master|version of the Master]] from a [[Unbound Universe|parallel universe]] and the [[Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)|Dalek Time Strategist]], thinking he was the progenitor of the rewriting of history. Their attempts to kill him failed to stop the changes to time however. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Shockwave (TWM audio story)}}) The Master’s Anti-Genesis plot was later undone by the Master himself and the alternate Master, who persuaded the Master’s past self not to instigate the plan and had Crazlus exterminated. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|He Who Wins (audio story)}})


After losing Braxiatel after the system collapse he explored many realities just with Leela as Romana would join them until they found a [[Gallifrey (Annihilation)|Gallifrey]] which was unusual. He started to notice that Leela was ageing. He found out that it contained a vampire race. When Leela wanted to become one of [[Borusa (Annihilation)|Borusa]]'s hounds he was concerned as she might die and he would alone. He went with Leela to help her take down the transduction barriers. He was attacked by Lord [[Prydon]] and had to tell Romana that he can no longer regenerate. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Annihilation (audio story)|Annihilation]]'')
When the Master answered the CIA’s summons, Narvin warned Romana not to use him and that the war had given him a purpose, only for Romana to reminded Narvin that it was him who had given the Master a purpose. He eventually lost track of [[the Master's TARDIS]], after the Master had expelled Leela from it and went to [[Arcking]]. He angrily reminded Romana that it had been her idea to send Leela with the Master. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Devil You Know (audio story)}})


He wanted to stay somewhere for more than one day. He found out that his counterpart on the [[Gallifrey (Forever)|final Gallifrey]] they visited was the Lord Chancellor, and how ruthless he was. Knowing the attitudes of his counterpart, he could obtain information about the time travel experiments. When his counterpart sacrificed his life to save the planet when the [[Krilig]], Narvin took his place as the chancellor after they were stranded on the planet. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Forever (audio story)|Forever]]'')
He was angry when Trave expelled the Phaidons from the planet and told Romana of this. When Livia contacted the CIA asking for help organising her resignation, he explained a way for her to resign but keep her dignity. He persuaded Romana to run against Livia’s nominated successor, [[Valerian (Celestial Intervention)|Valerian]], and subsequently was called up to become a soldier. Romana used this to her advantage to have him shut down Project Revenant before it fell into the Daleks’ hands. He told Karla that the Daleks would use the project to turn all the resurrected Time Lords into Daleks. Karla betrayed him, stealing the facility’s power and escaping into the Matrix, and left him to die in the explosion, but he was rescued by Braxiatel. He informed Romana of Karla's betrayal and she realised what the War Council were planning. Together they hurried to Valerian’s inauguration, arriving in time to witness [[Rassilon (Desperate Measures)|Rassilon]] being resurrected in Valerian’s body. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Desperate Measures (audio story)}})


Romana put him in charge of finding new time technology so that they could get home. He also reminded her that the council had doubts about her as she was less ruthless than her counterpart. He warned Romana against negotiating with the outsiders. He was framed by [[Allora]] for the assassination attempt on Leela. Romana used this to get more information about Allora by placing them in the same cell. He was released after it was discovered that Valyes was behind the attempt. Narvin told [[Kavil]] that he had covered up his part in the assassination attempts as they needed him to help them get back to the axis. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Emancipation (audio story)|Emancipation]]'')
==== Rassilon's rule ====
[[File:Narvin and Rassilon.jpg|thumb|Narvin and [[Rassilon (Desperate Measures)|Rassilon]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time War: Volume Two]])''|alt=]]
Whilst Romana was arrested on charges of treason for negotiating with the [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|Dalek Emperor]], he became Coordinator again but was demoted once more when Rassilon pardoned her. He investigated the murder of a Chancellery Guard, discovering the culprit to be [[Trave (Havoc)|a future version]] of General Trave. He and agent [[Eris (Havoc)|Eris]] pursued the future Trave, resulting in him being mortally wounded. Before he died, Trave gave him a recording which he and Romana discovered was from a future version of Narvin, warning his past self that Rassilon’s regime would lead to Gallifrey’s downfall. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Havoc (audio story)}})


He oversaw a conference of the Gallifreyan scientists that explored Time Travel technologies and had heard of [[Jonias]]. He was a bit suspicious of using money as an incentive. He employed [[Maris]] to look after Leela and find a research base. He found out about the ethics violation that Jonias has performed as there were experiments on the former slaves. He questioned Jonias about it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Evolution (audio story)|Evolution]]'')
Romana sent him and Eris to [[Ysalus]] to tip the balance of the planet’s civil war to ensure a more favourable side emerged, to prevent the Daleks’ obtaining the planet’s resources in the future. He encountered a War Council agent who had been assigned the same mission, but discovered she had been ordered to make contact with partisans of the other side of the war. Their actions inadvertently led to the war escalating, forcing the CIA to place the planet in a time freeze to prevent its devastation. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Partisans (audio story)}})


He had Kavil strengthen the signal coming from the Axis. He informed Romana that Lord [[Zakar]]'s ship had been shot down. After Lord [[Zakar]] was captured by the outsiders, he visited Leela to negotiate his release. Narvin then talked to Zakar about his circumstances. He found out that Zakar knew that he and Romana were imposters and then ordered an attack to return Zakar back to the citadel. He used the recording of Zakar showing his guilt to stop a civil war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Arbitration (audio story)|Arbitration]]'')
When the time freeze around Ysalus was breached, Narvin worked with General [[Dalia]] to help organise an evacuation of the planet. They were successful in evacuating a few hundred of the natives before the War Council erased the planet from time. Afterwards Dalia disappeared and Narvin asked Cardinal [[Mantus]] about him. Mantus informed him there was no longer a General Dalia on the War Council or even on Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Collateral (audio story)}})


He knew of the fate of the [[Dalek]]s, but that knowledge didn't help him when he faced them in battle. He told the Daleks that there wasn't anything useful on this version on Gallifrey and they should leave. He tried to find a way to stop them, using his knowledge and technology available to him. Leela was surprised that he stayed to fight and look for Romana rather than save his own skin. He went to the armoury where he found experimental weapons. He saved Leela from being exterminated. He travelled back to the Axis and open the portal to their Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'')
Taking him on an excursion far from the Capitol, Romana asked him to join her plot to assassinate Rassilon, after learning he’d deliberately breached the time freeze to make an example of Ysalus. Though he sympathised with her reasons, Narvin refused. Rassilon and Mantus began attempting to win him round to their faction. Rassilon met him, compli.menting him on organising the mission to avert the Daleks’ creation, and appointed him to the War Council. Mantus revealed the whereabouts of Ace, safe in Earth’s time lock, and that there was a way to restore his regenerations, however Narvin interrupted the process midway. Believing something was amiss, he rushed to Romana’s side just as her plot to assassinate Rassilon failed. He stood by her, so Mantus exiled him along with her, forcing them to depart Gallifrey in a [[TARDIS (Assassins)|TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Assassins (audio story)}})


==== Returning back to the prime Gallifrey ====
=== Exile in the Time War ===
On returning back to his home Gallifrey, he was trapped in a [[Time loop|Chronic Hysteresis]] with Leela. He found Romana's deal with [[Romana III|her next incarnation Trey]] disturbing but understood why she made it. He prepared Trey's exile on Romana's orders but had to use it to exile Romana instead due to the death of [[Kolspen]] of [[Unvoss]]. He invested Trey as president. This occurred in the Matrix. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Renaissance (audio story)|Renaissance]]'')
[[File:Narvin Romana GTW3.jpg|thumb|Narvin and [[Romana II|Romana]] during their exile. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time War: Volume Three]]'')|alt=|left]]
Romana and Narvin landed ''[[Dreadnought Septima]]'' after escaping one of skirmishes in the war. Finding that there were TARDISes on board they hoped to get spare parts for their now damaged [[TARDIS (Assassins)|TARDIS]]. He thought he saw other versions of Romana and himself. They discovered the results of Project Fury and how it related to the Sicari. He took a lot of equipment from one of the broken TARDIS including a [[Chameleon Arch]]. He tried to kill [[Qatal]] with a [[time grenade]] but that made things worse. They escaped the collapsing ship and replaced the broken dematerialisation circuit. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Hostiles (audio story)}})  


He again helped Leela when some masonry fell on her. When the Daleks invaded [[Gallifrey]], Narvin saw no other way of defeating them, and sent [[Valyes]] to [[Skaro]]. There Valyes would send the [[Fourth Doctor]] on a mission to destroy the Daleks as they were being created. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'')
Trying to trace Leela, something went wrong with the signal and they decided to land on [[Njagilheim]] which proved a bit difficult. What was happening reminded him of a test at the academy, which he never understood. He captured a random goat which belonged to [[Agata]]. He later heard the sound of children and a forge. When Romana heard screaming, he only heard laughter. Leela's signal still kept appearing and disappearing. He theorised if the temporal storm caused the loop. Romana told her that the [[Orrovix]] was what was hunting her. They managed to escape the time loop and the Orrovix before it collapsed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Nevernor (audio story)}})  


==== Fighting the Eminence ====
At some point in their exile Narvin and Romana encountered agents of [[The resistance (Deception)|the resistance]] and were told the location of their base. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Deception (audio story)}})
Narvin was later behind recruiting {{Macqueen}} to help the Time Lords fight [[the Eminence]]. After the Master went rogue, Narvin recruited the [[Eighth Doctor]] to help him stop the Master's plans to exploit the powers of the Eminence. He used [[the Matrix]] to show the Doctor the Master's actions on [[Heron's World]]. He knew what happened to the [[Ides Scientific Institute]] in both the pre and post [[Straxus]] timeline. He then showed him a matrix projection of what would happen after the Master's departure. He requested [[Romana II|the Time]] [[Romana III|Lord President]] to sanction the protection of the people of Heron's world, knowing that the Doctor's involvement would aid her decision. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Death of Hope (audio story)|The Death of Hope]]'')


He then showed [[Ramosa]] to the Doctor, and gave him [[Liv Chenka]] as assistance. The Doctor then demanded answers from him. He told the Doctor that there was part of the CIA was against his plans and wanted to kill the humans the Master had infected with [[Retro-genitor particle]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Reviled (audio story)|The Reviled]]'')
They tracked down Leela on [[Unity]], however she was reluctant to leave as she’d begun helping a family there. Local crime boss [[Jarred McKenzie]] noticed their TARDIS and attempted to use it as leverage with the Daleks, bringing Unity to their attention. The Daleks tracked down the Time Lords, with Romana deciding to stay and face them whilst Narvin and Leela fled with [[Rayo]] in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Unity (audio story)}}


He saved [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] after the Master had ejected it from a spaceship. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masterplan (audio story)|Masterplan]]'')
=== Working with the resistance ===
{{Section stub|Information from ''[[Manoeuvres (audio anthology)|Manoeuvres]]'' & ''[[Damned If You Don't (audio story)|Damned If You Don’t]]'' needs to be added}}
Narvin took Rayo and Leela to the resistance, demanding to meet the resistance council. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Deception (audio story)}}) Daleks, pursuing Romana’s associates from Unity, attacked the base forcing Narvin and Rayo to flee in their TARDIS, with Rayo furious that he left Leela behind though Narvin was certain she’d escaped another way. They were ambushed by Daleks as they escaped, with their TARDIS sustaining major damage. Narvin managed to get it to the Patrex Chapter retreat on Micallon, where the Apothecary agreed to repair it. A [[Hunter Dalek]] followed him and attacked them, but together they destroyed it. Rayo persuaded him to rejoin the resistance however Narvin insisted he stay behind on Micallon, now hidden from the War by its shield. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dissolution (audio story)}}) Narvin made contact with Leela and [[Eris (Havoc)|Eris]] and agreed to help the resistance’s plan to pollute the Time Vortex with energies from a deception field via the [[Untempered Schism]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Deception (audio story)}})


Narvin accompanied the Doctor to Earth to thwart the Master's plans to exploit the Eminence's power and take over the human race. Narvin was captured and held in an Eminence casket whilst the Master succeeded in corrupting the minds of humanity. The Doctor defeated the Master and freed Narvin. Narvin travelled back to Gallifrey and arranged for the Master's corruption of history to be airbrushed away. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Rule of the Eminence (audio story)|Rule of the Eminence]]'')
The resistance built a stealth Battle TARDIS primed to detonate which Narvin and Leela flew into Kasterborous. As they approached Gallifrey they overheard a Dalek saucer broadcasting an ultimatum to Gallifrey with Romana as their spokesperson. Narvin reluctantly let Leela use a short range teleport to infiltrate the saucer so she could rescue Romana. He intercepted Livia and Mantus’ Battle TARDIS after Rassilon ordered them on a suicidal attack on the Daleks. They revealed the Daleks had null zone technology aboard, which would enable them to time travel without the Vortex and to bypass Gallifrey’s defences. Realising the resistance’s plan to deprive both sides of time travel was impossible now, Narvin decided to stop the Daleks and took the Battle TARDIS to the Dalek saucer.


==== The Return of Omega ====
Aboard the saucer, Narvin, Mantus and Livia were pursued by Daleks and encountered Romana and Leela. With Mantus exterminated and Livia wounded, Narvin and Livia decided to stop the Daleks’ imminent attack on the Capitol by detonating the Battle TARDIS by their null zone power source, insisting Romana and Leela escape without them. Leela gave him her teleport in the hopes he could escape the detonation, however it failed due to interference. Moments before the explosion, Narvin was contacted by Eris. The TARDIS’ explosion tore apart the saucer and deprived the Daleks of null zone technology, saving Gallifrey, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Homecoming (audio story)}}) whilst Narvin escaped with Eris’ aid.
He argued with President [[Romana III|Romana]] about the employment of [[Precog]]s on [[Gallifrey]]. She sent him on [[Earth]] in [[BC|2986 BC]], to [[Greater Henge]], to retrieve [[Ace]] and the [[Hand of Omega]]. He got annoyed when Romana forbade him from using his [[staser]] on the locals, but he used it to show his strength. He found out that his adjutant [[Tauras]] was behind the Hand's use. Then, he was brought to the [[anti-matter universe]], when he tried to stop [[Omega]] to be freed; he was involved in [[telepathic contact]] with Romana and [[Lukas (Emancipation)|Lukas]] to hinder Omega's willpower. Eventually, Omega fled and Narvin managed to escape the pocket universe along with Romana and Ace. When the TARDIS they were using to escape lost power just after leaving the black hole he was left stranded with Ace after [[Irving Braxiatel]] saved Romana. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Intervention Earth (audio story)|Intervention Earth]]'')


He was charged with treason, and [[Trave]] was sentenced to execute him due to his part in the Omega Plot. When [[Irving Braxiatel]] changed the timelines, Narvin arrested the [[Adherents of Ohm]] and placed the Hand of Omega under lock and key. He then sent [[Ace]] to [[Outpost Delta]] to discover any plots of the [[Monan Host]] against [[Gallifrey]]. Whilst in [[the Matrix]], he was attacked by [[the Watchmaker]] and killed. Afterwards, Romana made a deal with the Watchmaker so that he didn't die. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]'')
Narvin continued working with the resistance for 70 years, during which he retrieved an old TARDIS modified by [[Ace]] that had been destined for scrap. On a mission for the resistance, he sabotaged a Dalek ship and discovered details of [[Operation Intercept]]. Narvin subsequently travelled to the newly-restored [[Phaidon]] to find the Time Lord artefact the Daleks had brought the planet back to intercept. He encountered Leela on the same mission for the War Council and she told him what had become of her and Romana. Together they helped a [[Warpwright]] use the artefact to save her surviving people from the Daleks and left it with her, though Narvin did suggest keeping it in hopes of saving Romana with it. He met with Leela at his TARDIS after she told [[Eleventh General|the General]] the artefact was destroyed. The General interrupted their conversation, indicating he knew Leela had lied but didn't intend to tell anyone about it or Narvin's presence. Narvin and Leela then parted ways, as she returned to Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The First Days of Phaidon (audio story)}})


=== The Last Great Time War ===
=== Legacy ===
He was informed by one of his subordinates [[Karla (Celestial Intervention)|Karla]] of a facility in the Loom Forests. He was later informed of the destruction of [[Phaidon]]. Narvin found out that the [[War Council]] had placed a facility within the [[Death Zone]]. He sent Leela to investigate. After Leela was caught, he travelled to the Death Zone with Romana against his will. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Celestial Intervention (audio story)|Celestial Intervention]]'')
[[Post-Time War universe|After the Time War]], Leela acknowledged Narvin among those who were "gone" whilst speaking with the [[Tenth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Splinters (audio story)}})


Narvin contacted {{Jacobi}} once he had acquired enough [[Swenyo]] for the Time Lords' war effort. He gave him a [[Chameleon Arch]] as payment. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sins of the Father (audio story)|Sins of the Father]]'')
== Alternate timelines ==
In an [[Burner Doctor's timeline|alternate timeline]] within [[the Axis]] in which the Time Lords regularly altered history through the [[Temporal Intervention Agency]], Narvin served as the [[Interrogator General]] under Lady President [[Romana (Disassembled)|Romana]] until he was murdered by [[Leela (Disassembled)|Leela]], who succeeded him in that position. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Disassembled (audio story)}})


Braxiatel informed him of the "death" of Ace and told Romana of this. She then ordered him to find the Master. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Soldier Obscura (audio story)|Soldier Obscura]]'')
In another alternate timeline within the Axis, [[Narvin (The Questing Beast)|Sir Narvin]] served [[Romana (The Questing Beast)|Queen Romana]] on a [[Gallifrey (The Questing Beast)|Gallifrey]] where magic was the way of life. He married Leela however she was killed by the [[Great Beast (The Questing Beast)|Great Beast]]. When Braxiatel from the primary timeline arrived on this Gallifrey, Sir Narvin distrusted him but reluctantly followed the Queen’s orders to take him along on the hunt for the Beast. The pair came to an understanding on the journey and worked together against the Beast. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Questing Beast (audio story)}})


Narvin warned Romana not to use the Master and that the war had given him a purpose. Romana reminded him that he had given the Master a purpose. He eventually lost track of [[the Master's TARDIS]], after the Master had expelled Leela from it and went to [[Arcking]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Devil You Know (audio story)|The Devil You Know]]'')
In [[Regenerators' timeline|another alternate timeline]] within the Axis in which [[Rassilon (Regenerators' timeline)|Rassilon]] had failed to finish the [[Eye of Harmony]] before his death, [[Narvin (Forever)|a version of Narvin]] served as [[High Chancellor]]. When Romana from the main timeline attempted to take the place of her [[Romana (Forever)|recently assassinated counterpart]], Narvin worked out who she was and forced her to help complete the Eye of Harmony. When she realised the incomplete Eye was actually a prison for the [[Krilig]], this Narvin gave his life to prevent their escape and save [[Gallifrey (Regenerators' timeline)|Gallifrey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Forever (audio story)}})


He was angry when Trave expelled the Phaidons from the planet and told Romana of this. He knew of a way for Livia to resign but keep her dignity. He spent his time trying to stop the war by going through Gallifrey's past and future but was called up to become a soldier. Romana used this to her advantage to shut down Project Revenant. He told Karla that the Daleks would use the project to turn all the resurrected Time Lords into Daleks. Karla betrayed him and left him to die in the explosion, but was rescued by Braxiatel. He informed Romana of Karla's betrayal. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Desperate Measures (audio story)|Desperate Measures]]'')
Several alternative iterations of Narvin were encountered by [[Unbound Master|a version of the Master]] from the [[Unbound Universe]] during the temporal shockwave caused by the [[War Master]]’s interference in the [[Creation of the Daleks|Daleks' creation]]. One version of Narvin was a farmer on a Gallifrey still at a medieval level of technology while another showed their incumbent regeneration to be a woman. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Shockwave (TWM audio story)}})


== Alternative timelines ==
In an alternate timeline in [[the Beyond]], President Romana ordered Narvin to lead the Dreadnought ''Servia'' to destroy the [[Cannavar system]], to strike back against an enemy who had killed Leela whilst attacking Gallifrey. After firing a warhead to destroy the star, he had the crew evacuate to try to escape whilst he stayed behind. This version of Narvin encountered Romana and Braxiatel from the proper timeline, who were travelling through the Beyond, and let them use his TARDIS. He was killed by the [[Ravenous]], who were pursuing Romana and Braxiatel. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Beyond (audio story)}})
In an [[Gallifrey (Disassembled)|alternative timeline]] in which the Time Lords regularly altered history through the Temporal Intervention Agency, Narvin served as the Interrogator General under Lady President Romana until he was murdered by Leela, who succeeded him in that position. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'')


In [[Gallifrey (Forever)|another alternative timeline]] in which [[Rassilon]] failed to finish the [[Eye of Harmony]] before his death, Narvin served as [[Lord Chancellor]] of a Gallifrey which never achieved [[time travel]] and where [[slavery]] still existed. He had Lady President Romana assassinated but she was immediately replaced by her counterpart from the proper timeline, who claimed that the victim of the assassination was a decoy. After he was killed by the [[Krilig]], he was replaced by the version of Narvin from the proper timeline. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Forever (audio story)|Forever]]'')
In [[The Warrior's universe|another reality]], Narvin retrieved the [[Fourth Doctor]] after he carried out [[Genesis Incident|his mission]] to wipe out the Daleks at their creation. He informed the Doctor the mission had resulted in a [[Time War (The Warrior's universe)|Time War]] and supplied him with an [[Elixir of Life|elixir]] so he could regenerate into a warrior. Alongside [[the Warrior]], he subsequently oversaw the killing of an aberrant version of the [[Sixth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dust Devil (audio story)}}) In [[Alternate timeline (Aftershocks)|a timeline]] sealed by the Warrior and [[The Master (The Warrior's universe)|the Master]], the Time War resulted in this Narvin serving the [[Unified Skaroan Alliance]] who had taken control of time. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Aftershocks (audio story)}}) During the Warrior's presidency, Narvin was captured and killed by the [[Difference Office]] after he attempted to travel back in time to stop his younger self committing atrocities in the Time War. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Difference Office (audio story)}})


== Personality ==
== Personality ==
Narvin and Leela shared an association, partially through the status that Leela held due to her husband [[Andred]] and through her friendship with Romana. Particularly during the civil war and after, with most of their other confidantes either exiled or locked up or dead, Leela often (if a little reluctantly) went to him for advice whereas Narvin often went to Leela for errands which he could not trust to anyone else.
[[File:Narvin Gallifrey 6.jpg|thumb|Narvin ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gallifrey VI]]'')|alt=]]
Romana once described Narvin as "a CIA half-wit". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Second Sight (audio story)}}) [[Matthias]] called Narvin the "Black Sheep" of the Patrexes. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}}) Braxiatel said that he had an "intelligent, quick and very, very devious mind". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lies (audio story)}})
 
Before eventually becoming friends with Leela and Romana, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Extermination (audio story)}}) Narvin was concerned with his own survival above all else, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)}}, {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}}) and was fanatically loyal to the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], refusing to hear a bad word about the organisation. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}}) He thought nothing of committing [[genocide]] to safeguard the Time Lords, to the [[Unbound Doctor]]'s fury, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Gallifrey (audio story)}}) and later admitted to having taken [[pride]] in [[temporal erasure|erasing]] an entire planet from existence, after deeming their continued existence a potential threat. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}})
 
At this point, from only one conversation, the [[Shade of Portent]] saw Narvin as an [[arrogance|arrongant]], pompous [[egomania]]c, much like his peers in [[the Capitol]]. He was tactless about [[Chapter|social status]] with his underlings. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damned If You Do (audio story)}})
 
Narvin regarded [[the Doctor]] as a criminal, though conceded he'd helped save Gallifrey many times. He was somewhat awed by the [[Fourth Doctor]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}}) but was dismissive of the [[Seventh Doctor]] and didn't like to be compared to him; this also extended to gadgets. When [[Melanie Bush]] was manipulated into handing the Doctor, [[Ace]] and [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] over to [[Dogbolter]], Narvin broke him out of prison with his own version of a [[sonic screwdriver]]. Narvin was annoyed when the Doctor hinted that he'd been inspired by the Doctor's [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|own sonic screwdriver]], even going as far as to claim it was a "sonic lockpick". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)}}) Narvin was equally dismissive of the Unbound Doctor, claiming he no more belonged on Gallifrey than his prime counterpart. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Gallifrey (audio story)}})
 
Narvin was also dismissive of the Doctor's [[human]] [[companion]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)}}) deciding to treat [[Adric]] as he would a [[time tot]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}}) He stated the Doctor only kept them around to stroke his [[ego]] because they kept making poor observations and asked what he considered stupid [[questions]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)}}) He showed more respect towards [[Bernice Summerfield]], believing she would be a delightful opponent in court, however she came to dislike his attitude and finally punched him after he revealed how he'd manipulated the Unbound Doctor so he could wipe out [[the Now]] to save Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Gallifrey (audio story)}}) Later in life, Narvin worked well with Ace, though was sometimes bemused by her Earth expressions. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})
 
Narvin and Leela shared an association, even a mutual respect for one another, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Annihilation (audio story)}}) partially through the status that Leela held due to her husband [[Andred]] and through her friendship with Romana. Particularly during the civil war and after, with most of their other confidantes either exiled or locked up or dead, Leela often (if a little reluctantly) went to him for advice whereas Narvin often went to Leela for errands which he could not trust to anyone else. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fractures (audio story)}}, {{cs|Warfare (audio story)}}) Later in life, Narvin credited Leela with helping him become a better Time Lord and showed affection towards her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Erasure (audio story)}}) He was furious when Romana's decision to use {{Jacobi}} for a mission during the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] led to Leela being lost. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Devil You Know (audio story)}})


Later on, Narvin seemed extremely concerned for Romana's safety after she was stripped of her rank. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Annihilation (audio story)|Annihilation]]'')
Narvin was initially highly sceptical of Romana during her presidency, triggering an inquiry to try to prove her decisions during the [[Timonic Fusion Device]] crisis on [[Gryben]] were flawed, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Weapon of Choice (audio story)}}) and feeding intelligence to [[Darkel]] during her campaign against Romana, though later came to regret this decision when he realised how Darkel had used it. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Imperiatrix (audio story)}}) He eventually stood by Romana during the civil war, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fractures (audio story)}}) and they became closer whilst in [[the Axis]], with him seeming extremely concerned for Romana's safety after she was stripped of her rank. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Annihilation (audio story)}})


[[Matthias]] called Narvin the "Black Sheep" of the Patrexes. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'')
He was eventually willing to make great sacrifices to save Romana, both because he felt Gallifrey needed her and because he came to realise ''he'' needed her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}}) Though he'd initally refused to partake in her plot, Narvin ultimately chose to stand with Romana after her failed assassination of [[Rassilon (Desperate Measures)|Rassilon]], resulting in him sharing her exile. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Assassins (audio story)}}) Later in the [[Last Great Time War]], he joined [[the resistance (Deception)|the resistance]], believing that the [[Time Lord]]s — as well as the [[Dalek]]s — needed to be stopped. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The First Days of Phaidon (audio story)}} et al.)


He put his own survival above all else. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)|The Quantum Possibility Engine]]'')
Narvin was scared of [[spider]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Forever (audio story)}}) He was patient and [[diplomacy|diplomatic]] when it came to establishing long-lasting formal [[alliance]]s. He chastised [[Eris (Collaborators)|Eris]] for being too strong-headed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Collaborators (audio story)}})


Romana once described Narvin as "a CIA half-wit". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Second Sight (audio story)|Second Sight]]'')

Latest revision as of 23:52, 30 November 2024

Narvinectralonum (Narvin for short) was a Time Lord and an important figure in the Celestial Intervention Agency. He rose to the position of Coordinator before being made Romana II's Deputy Coordinator, serving during the early stages of the Last Great Time War. After her attempt to assassinate President Rassilon, he and Romana were exiled from Gallifrey together.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]

A member of House Witforge, (AUDIO: Transference [+]Loading...["Transference (audio story)"]) Narvin belonged to the Patrex Chapter. (AUDIO: Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"]) His father was an engineer, a job that Narvin did not want to pursue as he considered it to be "a lot less fun" than working for the Celestial Intervention Agency, (AUDIO: Havoc [+]Loading...["Havoc (audio story)"]) and his uncle Rexin was exiled to Lowtown for drawing attention to himself. (AUDIO: Transference [+]Loading...["Transference (audio story)"]) When he was young, Narvin looked into the Untempered Schism. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"])

Narvin studied basic astrophysics and astronomy at the Time Lord Academy (AUDIO: Annihilation [+]Loading...["Annihilation (audio story)"]') and was acquainted with Clemantia, whom he trusted. (AUDIO: Collaborators [+]Loading...["Collaborators (audio story)"]) Tauras once implied that Narvin had regenerated at least once. (AUDIO: Intervention Earth [+]Loading...["Intervention Earth (audio story)"]) Early in his career, Rexin asked Narvin to help get his children Helico and Lenaris into the Capitol, but he refused as he did not wish to jeopardise his position. (AUDIO: Transference [+]Loading...["Transference (audio story)"])

Working as a technician under Glower, Narvin was a part of Project Alpha and assisted in the development of the Timonic Fusion Device despite the warnings of Braxiatel. The catastrophe caused by the detonation of the device destroyed Minyos and necessitated a cover-up of the Time Lords' involvement by the CIA. He and Braxiatel harboured a long-standing enmity towards one another thereafter. (AUDIO: The Inquiry [+]Loading...["The Inquiry (audio story)"])

Rise through the ranks[[edit] | [edit source]]

Not long after Project Alpha, Narvin took up a position at the CIA and "never looked back". (AUDIO: The Inquiry [+]Loading...["The Inquiry (audio story)"]) When asked why he joined the CIA, he answered that it was because of the lack of diplomacy and the less impractical robes. (AUDIO: Appropriation [+]Loading...["Appropriation (audio story)"]) He trained for two hundred years on Gallifrey (AUDIO: The Quantum Possibility Engine [+]Loading...["The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)"]) and eagerly sought to impress Vansell, whom he would later believe was irritated by him. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"]) Whilst in training, he was able to bounce ideas off of Vansell, Matthias and Kelner, the latter of whom he was less fond of. (AUDIO: Damned If You Don't [+]Loading...["Damned If You Don't (audio story)"])

At one point he visited the Patrex Chapter retreat on Micallon but grew frustrated there and took a TARDIS back to the Capitol, determined to make a difference in the CIA. (AUDIO: Dissolution [+]Loading...["Dissolution (audio story)"]) In time, he moved up the ranks, (AUDIO: The Inquiry [+]Loading...["The Inquiry (audio story)"]) eventually becoming Sub-Coordinator. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"])

Narvin was sent to Bellascon by Vansell to investigate the time travel technology being constructed by the natives of the planet. It was there that Narvin met the Doctor for the first time, in his fourth incarnation, who was travelling alongside Adric and also investigating the technology. Adric was suddenly wiped from history and Narvin realised that his ancestors had been killed when the ship that they were on exploded. The Doctor sent Narvin back in time to prevent the explosion, where he discovered that one of the people involved with the technology had gone back to prevent all of the Doctor's companions from being born. Narvin killed him and the Doctor brought him back. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"])

Narvin attended a meeting which included the Celestial Intervention Agency and the castellans where Braxiatel remarked that chapters and houses were no longer of the highest import. Narvin disagreed with him, and later wondered if Brax had been referencing his own family history. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"])

Life as Coordinator[[edit] | [edit source]]

Early career[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin early in his career at the CIA. (AUDIO: Erasure)

Shortly after becoming Coordinator, Narvin gained permission from President Romana to use the Oubliette of Eternity one last time to wipe Bellascon from history. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"])

Narvin exploited Gallifrey's operation to help the Monan Host rebuild following the Daleks’ attack to restructure their planet's hyperspatial links. This meant that, with the correct equation, Narvin would be able to destroy the Monans should the need arise. (AUDIO: Square One [+]Loading...["Square One (Gallifrey audio story)"])

Narvin was sent to investigate Josiah W. Dogbolter's experimentation into the combination of Time Lord and Speravore technology to create the Quantum Possibility Engine. He lost his TARDIS along the way and met the Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane - both of whom he freed using his sonic screwdriver - and, later, Melanie Bush. After the engine was activated, a new timeline was created in which Narvin worked for Kaltron, Inc. as an air oven designer. His memories were returned and both Dogbolter and the Krasi were defeated, after which Narvin asked the Doctor if he could take him back in his "scrap" TARDIS. (AUDIO: The Quantum Possibility Engine [+]Loading...["The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)"])

While Gallifrey was under the influence of the Now, Narvin struggled to resist and sought to bring the alternate version of the Doctor from another universe, who was currently travelling in the prime universe with Bernice Summerfield, to Gallifrey in hopes of him providing a solution. (AUDIO: Gallifrey [+]Loading...["Gallifrey (audio story)"]) He announced their capture when they were located. (AUDIO: Inertia [+]Loading...["Inertia (audio story)"]) He brought the Doctor and Benny back to Gallifrey and stood as prosecutor to the Doctor's trial. When the Doctor concocted a solution to Gallifrey's predicament that would involve the genocide of the Now, Narvin took it upon himself to use it, and revealed this to have been his plan from the start. He was indignant to the Doctor's disgust and told him that he didn't belong there any more than any Doctor from his universe, earning him a punch from Benny. (AUDIO: Gallifrey [+]Loading...["Gallifrey (audio story)"])

When Andred pretended to be against Romana's reforms and arranged a meeting, Narvin was suspicious of him and sent Torvald to meet with him instead. Andred killed Torvald and took on his identity, after which Narvin covered up the incident. (AUDIO: A Blind Eye [+]Loading...["A Blind Eye (audio story)"]

Campaign against Romana[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin lied to Romana about Project Alpha when a supposed Timonic Fusion Device was taken by Nepenthe on the Third Moon of Kikrit and sent Andred with Leela and K9 Mark I to Gryben to recover it, secretly giving Torvald a translocation beamer to get the device back to the Capitol. He ordered Battle TARDISes be sent to Gryben when the device was seemingly armed and encouraged Romana to destroy the planet, but she refused; he later went to Darkel to instigate an inquiry into Romana's actions. (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice [+]Loading...["Weapon of Choice (audio story)"])

Romana sent Narvin to a temporal summit which, unbeknownst to him, was a fake. He argued with V'rell and Flinkstab before Hossak reset time the first time and was framed for Pule's death by Baano before the second. Finally, the restructuring of Monan's hyperspatial links was exposed, although Romana covered up Narvin's involvement by claiming that it was done by unknown elements and gave him full credit for helping flush out Baano and V'rell. He was, however, unhappy that he had been sent to a fake summit. (AUDIO: Square One [+]Loading...["Square One (Gallifrey audio story)"])

Narvin was a witness at the inquiry into Romana's response to the Timonic Fusion Device and insisted that the device could not possibly have been built. Following the discovery of a data bomb in the Matrix, Narvin sought to discover who had planted it and identified the culprit as Braxiatel, whom he had Andred arrest. At knifepoint, he told Leela about her husband's supposed death and was later forced by Braxiatel to confess that the Timonic Fusion Device had been stolen. He was also unsuccessful in getting Braxiatel charged with his crimes. (AUDIO: The Inquiry [+]Loading...["The Inquiry (audio story)"])

Mephistopheles Arkadian contacted Narvin and informed him that Torvald was corrupt. Narvin kept this information from Andred, whom he still believed to be Torvald, and went with him in search of Cecelia Pollard with a displacement monitor. He finally learnt the truth about Andred's identity and, at Romana's command, happily burned away six months of the real Torvald's memories so as not to disrupt the timeline. He felt an immediate loathing for Andred for killing one of his operatives. (AUDIO: A Blind Eye [+]Loading...["A Blind Eye (audio story)"])

Narvin was unable to sleep after Pandora began using his mental energy to feed herself, leaving him exhausted. He allied himself with Darkel due to their shared belief that off-world students should not be admitted to the Gallifreyan Academy and began manipulating Wynter into thinking that Romana might make him redundant. Narvin was knocked out by K9 to stop Pandora from using his energy, causing her to become trapped in her Matrix partition. (AUDIO: Lies [+]Loading...["Lies (audio story)"])

After Romana arranged for the transport of the broken man to Gallifrey, Narvin and Wynter argued over whose jurisdiction the matter came under; as the pathogen was likely alien, Narvin believed that it came under the CIA's remit. (AUDIO: Spirit [+]Loading...["Spirit (audio story)"])

Narvin interrogated Gillestes after Wynter arrested her. He and Darkel went to raise the alarm after Pandora possessed Wynter, but he was not taken in by Darkel's insistence that Romana or Braxiatel must have been behind her release and warned her that she was playing a dangerous game. He supported Andred's appointment as Castellan following Wynter's death and publicly exposed Braxiatel's violation of the First Law of Time, which forced Romana to strip him of his title of Chancellor and exile him in disgrace. (AUDIO: Pandora [+]Loading...["Pandora (audio story)"]) Narvin was surprised the President subsequently allowed Valyes to take the role of Chancellor, given his opposition to her. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"])

Due to the declining political situation, Narvin and the CIA recovered Aesino from a temporal cul-de-sac and attached her to Wynter's TARDIS in the Anomaly Vaults, planning on using her as an assassin. However, they were unable to fully stabilise her. (AUDIO: Fractures [+]Loading...["Fractures (audio story)"])

Chancellor Valyes contacted him to rescue a group of alien students who had wandered into the Catacombs. Taking his trainee Cadet Kransa along, Narvin encountered a Time Shade, the Shade of Portent, who showed him a vision of his future and revealed it had lured the students there to bring him. Narvin awoke and led the students out of the Catacombs, though was now unable to recall Kransa ever having existed. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"])

When Archivist Duaden informed him that Romana was finding a way to connect to the Matrix, Narvin believed that she might already be under Pandora's control and was worried for Gallifrey, but Darkel told him to remain loyal to her until he had an unimpeachable reason not to. He was ready to contact the Chancellery Guard when he detected Taylor Addison in the Vaults, but Darkel suggested that he wait to do so, resulting in Taylor's death. (AUDIO: Insurgency [+]Loading...["Insurgency (audio story)"])

Narvin was on the scene after the Academy was bombed and had the alien students taken to safety, guarded by CIA agents. He was upset by the attack but could not properly investigate without exposing himself due to his belief that Darkel had sanctioned the bombing and used his codes, instead using the alien students at the scaphe port as bait to draw the guilty party out. He and Leela determined that Antimon was the bomber, having put bombs in his camera drones, and warned Romana that the drones in the Panopticon likely held bombs as well, allowing K9 to stop them. (AUDIO: Imperiatrix [+]Loading...["Imperiatrix (audio story)"])

Civil War[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin and Leela during the Gallifreyan Civil War. (AUDIO: Fractures)

Narvin allied himself with Romana during the Gallifreyan Civil War. He was badly wounded by the premature detonation of a percussion bomb whilst sabotaging the Artron Forum and had to be taken to Elbon in the Outlands for treatment, later going to the Vaults with Leela to save Romana and prevent her from being taken over by the sentience therein. He successfully got himself, Romana, Leela and Hallan to safety at the Academy using Braxiatel's matter transmitter and agreed that it was an ideal place for their new base of operations. (AUDIO: Fractures [+]Loading...["Fractures (audio story)"])

He helped build a stronghold there, creating his own adaptation of certain Matrix partitions, in effect a force field capable of keeping everything out. He had a standoff with Darkel outside of his barriers where Darkel managed to plant a Bug Bomb on him. Luckily, Leela managed to get it off him. He reported to Romana that there was a bio-hazard and realised that Pandora had re-engineered it with her own DNA. He suggested that Hallan should freeze himself until a cure was found. Narvin created a new partition to allow Romana to enter the APC Net chamber and eventually defeat Pandora. Though Narvin had started as someone who would have liked nothing better than to see Romana defamed, he ended up, unexpectedly, after the events of Free Time, Pandora, and Darkel's machinations, as one of the staunchest supporters of Romana and one of the few senior Time Lords who continued to be so after the civil war had ended. When Romana ultimately chose to sacrifice herself along with Pandora and the Matrix, Narvin was the only one who actively attempted to save her as his President, seeing it as his duty, as Matthias had accepted her decision and Elbon didn't care. (AUDIO: Warfare [+]Loading...["Warfare (audio story)"])

Post-war[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin with a blind Leela after the war. (AUDIO: Panacea)

Following the war he wanted Mathias to become acting President instead of Valyes, however, Matthias said that by law this couldn't happen. When the Sunari invaded he was worried about Romana's safety. He took great risks in keeping Romana informed and alive during the election preceding the war and also did everything in his power to try and prevent Darkel from obtaining the Presidency, even going so far as to say that if she were ever elected, he would resign from his position. Romana asked him to help Leela and K9 as well as suggesting that he should make himself a candidate. He managed to repair the transduction barriers, but this destroyed the Nekkistani and Sunari fleet by accident. (AUDIO: Appropriation [+]Loading...["Appropriation (audio story)"])

He suggested to Leela and K9 to become Romana's legal counsel when she was arrested. Darkel wanted to know which side in the election Narvin supported. Narvin thought that Darkel's assassin was asked to do it for political gain. He worked out that Romana's cell was bugged so got her to visit him. He got Leela and K9 to search Braxiatel's office. Annos asked for his advice when Darkel ordered Annos to execute Janartis. When Braxiatel pardoned both Romana and Janartis, he announced that Janartis had revealed Darkel's plans. (AUDIO: Mindbomb [+]Loading...["Mindbomb (audio story)"])

He warned Matthias not to allow Mephistopheles Arkadian as he was a known criminal. He was worried about the potential deal they were making. He asked Leela to give evidence about Arkadian. Following Arkadian to the biodata archive, he was time scooped to the Braxiatel Collection by accident. (AUDIO: Panacea [+]Loading...["Panacea (audio story)"])

Exploring alternate Gallifreys[[edit] | [edit source]]

Braxiatel brought him to the Axis, where they started exploring alternative realities. He didn't want to leave the Biodata Archive behind. He felt like he didn't fit in on this version of Gallifrey. He learnt that the Time Lords were selling Gallifrey's secrets and TARDISes to the highest bidder. When trapped on an alternate Gallifrey where regenerations were extracted and sold among Time Lords, Narvin had his remaining lives stolen from him as a form of torture. (AUDIO: Reborn [+]Loading...["Reborn (audio story)"])

He visited another alternate Gallifrey, where he was appalled that they were temporal interventionists. The Burner Doctor told him that he was a paradox, this was because the version of him in that reality was killed by an alternate Leela. He thought this was the cause of the Axis system collapse. He helped Braxiatel find the source of the instability. (AUDIO: Disassembled [+]Loading...["Disassembled (audio story)"])

Narvin whilst on an alternate Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Forever)

After losing Braxiatel after the system collapse he explored many realities with just Leela as Romana would not join them until they found a Gallifrey which was unusual. He started to notice that Leela was ageing. He found out that this Gallifrey contained a vampire race. When Leela wanted to become one of Borusa's hounds he was concerned as she might die and he would be alone. He went with Leela to help her take down the transduction barriers. He was attacked by Lord Prydon and had to tell Romana that he could no longer regenerate. (AUDIO: Annihilation [+]Loading...["Annihilation (audio story)"])

He wanted to stay somewhere for more than one day. He found out that his counterpart on the final Gallifrey they visited was the Lord Chancellor, and how ruthless he was. Knowing the attitudes of his counterpart, he could obtain information about the time travel experiments. When his counterpart sacrificed his life to save the planet when the Krilig attacked, Narvin took his place as Chancellor after they were stranded on the planet. (AUDIO: Forever [+]Loading...["Forever (audio story)"])

Romana put him in charge of finding new time technology so that they could get home. He reminded her that the council had doubts about her as she was less ruthless than her counterpart. He warned Romana against negotiating with the outsiders. He was framed by Allora for an assassination attempt on Leela. Romana used this to get more information about Allora by placing them in the same cell. He was released after it was discovered that Valyes was behind the attempt. Narvin told Kavil that he had covered up his part in the assassination attempt as they needed him to help them get back to the Axis. (AUDIO: Emancipation [+]Loading...["Emancipation (Gallifrey audio story)"])

Narvin oversaw a conference of the Gallifreyan scientists that explored time travel technologies and had heard of Jonias. He was a bit suspicious of using money as an incentive. He employed Maris to look after Leela and find a research base. He found out about the ethics violation that Jonias had performed as there were experiments done on the former slaves. He questioned Jonias about it. (AUDIO: Evolution [+]Loading...["Evolution (audio story)"])

He had Kavil strengthen the signal coming from the Axis. He informed Romana that Lord Zakar's ship had been shot down. After Lord Zakar was captured by the outsiders, he visited Leela to negotiate his release. Narvin then talked to Zakar about his circumstances. He found out that Zakar knew that he and Romana were imposters and then ordered an attack to return Zakar back to the Citadel. He used the recording of Zakar showing his guilt to stop a civil war. (AUDIO: Arbitration [+]Loading...["Arbitration (audio story)"])

Narvin with a Dalek. (AUDIO: Extermination)

He knew of the fate of the Daleks, but that knowledge didn't help him when he faced them in battle. He told the Daleks that there wasn't anything useful on this version of Gallifrey and they should leave. He tried to find a way to stop them, using his knowledge and technology available to him. Leela was surprised that he stayed to fight and look for Romana rather than save his own skin. He went to the armoury where he found experimental weapons. He saved Leela from being exterminated. He travelled back to the Axis and opened the portal to their Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Extermination [+]Loading...["Extermination (audio story)"])

Return to Gallifrey Prime[[edit] | [edit source]]

On returning back to his home Gallifrey, Narvin was trapped in a Chronic Hysteresis with Leela. He found Romana's deal with her next incarnation Trey disturbing but understood why she made it. He prepared Trey's exile on Romana's orders but had to use it to exile Romana instead due to the death of Kolspen of Unvoss. He invested Trey as president. This occurred in the Matrix. (AUDIO: Renaissance [+]Loading...["Renaissance (audio story)"])

He again helped Leela when some masonry fell on her. When the Daleks invaded Gallifrey, and Romana had apparently sacrificed herself to contain them, Narvin saw no other way of defeating them and sent Valyes to Skaro. There, Valyes would send the Fourth Doctor on a mission to destroy the Daleks as they were being created. Narvin claimed, in a desperate ruse to save Romana, that he had seen a future where only Dalek life remained in the universe. (AUDIO: Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"], TV: Genesis of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)"])

Upon discovering that Romana had been safe all along, Narvin feared that his orders to Valyes might have disastrous consequences. (AUDIO: Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"]) Indeed the Eleventh Doctor would later claim the mission to Skaro was the “first shot” of the Last Great Time War. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone [+]Loading...["Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)"])

At some point Narvin and Leela sheltered from an earthquake in the House of Heartshaven. With Leela rendered unconscious, Narvin passed the time by telling her about his encounter with the Fourth Doctor on Bellascon. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"])

Shifting timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

Facing the return of Omega[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin and Ace during Romana III's era. (AUDIO: Intervention Earth)

In the original timeline where President Romana regenerated aboard the Moros, (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"]) Narvin continued to serve as Coordinator during the presidency of her third incarnation, though argued with her about the employment of Precogs. She sent him to Earth in 2986 BC, to Greater Henge, to retrieve Ace and the Hand of Omega. Though annoyed that Romana had forbade him from using his staser on the locals, Narvin did use it to show his strength to force their cooperation. He found out that his adjutant Tauras was behind the Hand's use. Then, he was brought to the anti-matter universe, when he tried to stop Omega being freed; he was involved in telepathic contact with Romana and Lukas to hinder Omega's willpower. Eventually, Omega fled and Narvin managed to escape the pocket universe along with Romana and Ace. When the TARDIS they were using to escape lost power just after leaving the black hole he was left stranded with Ace after Irving Braxiatel saved Romana. (AUDIO: Intervention Earth [+]Loading...["Intervention Earth (audio story)"]) Narvin was charged with treason, and Trave was sentenced to execute him, along with Ace, due to his part in the Omega Plot. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"])

Death[[edit] | [edit source]]

When Braxiatel changed the timelines by travelling back in time to prevent Romana's regeneration and guided her to avoid a terrible future, Narvin carried out her orders to pre-emptively arrest the Adherents of Ohm and place the Hand of Omega under lock and key. He was made Deputy Coordinator when Romana appointed herself as the new Coordinator of the CIA in her last act as President before resigning for Livia Caralis. He then sent Ace to Outpost Delta to discover any plots of the Monan Host against Gallifrey. Whilst in the Matrix, he was attacked by the Watchmaker and killed. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"])

Survival[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana and Leela made an agreement with the Watchmaker to create a new stable timeline. In this version of events, Narvin became Deputy Coordinator when Romana made herself Coordinator, as in the second timeline, and, together with Ace, arrested Plutus and Kalbez on charges of high treason and attempted murder, exposing their conspiracy much earlier than had occurred in the timeline in which he’d died. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"])

Life as Deputy Coordinator[[edit] | [edit source]]

Preparing for war[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin attempted to prevent the coming Time War by going on secret missions as “Coordinator in Extremis”, which Coordinator Romana was actually aware of. (AUDIO: Desperate Measures [+]Loading...["Desperate Measures (audio story)"]) He recruited the Master to use the Eminence against the Daleks, however the Master went rogue. Narvin recruited the Eighth Doctor to help stop him, claiming never to have met the Doctor before. He used the Matrix to show the Doctor the Master's actions on Heron's World. He knew what happened to the Ides Scientific Institute in both the pre and post Straxus timeline. He then showed him a Matrix projection of what would happen after the Master's departure. He requested the President to sanction the protection of the people of Heron's world, knowing that the Doctor's involvement would aid her decision. (AUDIO: The Death of Hope [+]Loading...["The Death of Hope (audio story)"]) He then directed the Doctor to Ramosa, and later sent him Liv Chenka as assistance. The Doctor demanded answers from him and he told the Doctor that part of the CIA were against his plans and had wanted to kill the humans the Master had infected with Retro-genitor particles. (AUDIO: The Reviled [+]Loading...["The Reviled (audio story)"]) He later saved the Doctor's TARDIS after the Master had ejected it from a spaceship (AUDIO: Masterplan [+]Loading...["Masterplan (audio story)"]) and accompanied the Doctor to Earth to thwart the Master's plans to exploit the Eminence's power and take over the human race. He was captured and held in an Eminence casket whilst the Master succeeded in corrupting the minds of humanity. The Doctor defeated the Master and freed Narvin. Narvin travelled back to Gallifrey and arranged for the Master's corruption of history to be airbrushed away. (AUDIO: Rule of the Eminence [+]Loading...["Rule of the Eminence (audio story)"])

Narvin contacted the War Master once he had acquired enough Swenyo for the Time Lords' war effort. He gave him a Chameleon Arch as payment. (AUDIO: Sins of the Father [+]Loading...["Sins of the Father (audio story)"])

Early stages of the Time War[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin was informed by one of his subordinates, Karla, of the discovery of a secret War Council facility in the Lune Forest. He was later informed of the destruction of Phaidon. Narvin found out that the War Council had placed a facility within the Death Zone and sent Leela to investigate. After Leela was caught, he travelled to the Death Zone with Romana against his will. They were met by President Livia and General Trave who revealed the facility was part of Project Revenant. Livia shutdown the disputes between the War Council and Agency, confirming war would be formalised that evening. Together Romana and Narvin watched the broadcast in which Livia officially declared war on the Daleks. (AUDIO: Celestial Intervention [+]Loading...["Celestial Intervention (audio story)"])

Shortly after the start of the war, Valyes confronted Narvin, blaming him for the conflict due to the mission he’d sent Valyes on. (AUDIO: Damned If You Don't [+]Loading...["Damned If You Don't (audio story)"])

Narvin watched Ace set off in a TARDIS for the Obscura. (AUDIO: Damned If You Don't [+]Loading...["Damned If You Don't (audio story)"]) Braxiatel subsequently sent him a message informing him of the "death" of Ace and that invasion was imminent, which he passed on to Romana. She then ordered him to find the Master. (AUDIO: Soldier Obscura [+]Loading...["Soldier Obscura (audio story)"])

Narvin captured the War Master on Kurnos 5 only to discover he had swapped his mind with the Eighth Doctor. The Doctor told him the Master had set off to the Lehar system in his body and persuaded Narvin to let him track him down. (AUDIO: The Castle of Kurnos 5 [+]Loading...["The Castle of Kurnos 5 (audio story)"]) Narvin told him the Time Lords could take him as far as Redemption and gave him a credit card with a million credits to fund his travels to the Lehar system. Narvin later expressed concern about some of the crew he picked to travel with him, especially Ilya who could recognise the Master's appearance from Project Blackstar. (AUDIO: The Edge of Redemption [+]Loading...["The Edge of Redemption (audio story)"])

Narvin with two Daleks. (AUDIO: Anti-Genesis)

Whilst Acting Coordinator Narvin was told by Crazlus that the Master had arrived on Gallifrey, seemingly finally dead. He ordered Crazlus to dispose of the Master’s body, however Crazlus secretly resurrected him. Crazlus told him the Master had been attempting to steal the Anti-Genesis codes, leading to Narvin going to check their defences with him. This inadvertently gave the Master access to them, stealing them right in front of Narvin. (AUDIO: From the Flames [+]Loading...["From the Flames (audio story)"]) Narvin worked with President Livia to try to combat the Master’s subsequent interference in the Daleks’ creation but they were unsuccessful, with Gallifrey being struck by temporal shockwaves as the Master rewrote history. (AUDIO: The Master's Dalek Plan [+]Loading...["The Master's Dalek Plan (audio story)"]) During the shockwaves Narvin was target by version of the Master from a parallel universe and the Dalek Time Strategist, thinking he was the progenitor of the rewriting of history. Their attempts to kill him failed to stop the changes to time however. (AUDIO: Shockwave [+]Loading...["Shockwave (TWM audio story)"]) The Master’s Anti-Genesis plot was later undone by the Master himself and the alternate Master, who persuaded the Master’s past self not to instigate the plan and had Crazlus exterminated. (AUDIO: He Who Wins [+]Loading...["He Who Wins (audio story)"])

When the Master answered the CIA’s summons, Narvin warned Romana not to use him and that the war had given him a purpose, only for Romana to reminded Narvin that it was him who had given the Master a purpose. He eventually lost track of the Master's TARDIS, after the Master had expelled Leela from it and went to Arcking. He angrily reminded Romana that it had been her idea to send Leela with the Master. (AUDIO: The Devil You Know [+]Loading...["The Devil You Know (audio story)"])

He was angry when Trave expelled the Phaidons from the planet and told Romana of this. When Livia contacted the CIA asking for help organising her resignation, he explained a way for her to resign but keep her dignity. He persuaded Romana to run against Livia’s nominated successor, Valerian, and subsequently was called up to become a soldier. Romana used this to her advantage to have him shut down Project Revenant before it fell into the Daleks’ hands. He told Karla that the Daleks would use the project to turn all the resurrected Time Lords into Daleks. Karla betrayed him, stealing the facility’s power and escaping into the Matrix, and left him to die in the explosion, but he was rescued by Braxiatel. He informed Romana of Karla's betrayal and she realised what the War Council were planning. Together they hurried to Valerian’s inauguration, arriving in time to witness Rassilon being resurrected in Valerian’s body. (AUDIO: Desperate Measures [+]Loading...["Desperate Measures (audio story)"])

Rassilon's rule[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin and Rassilon. (AUDIO: Time War: Volume Two)

Whilst Romana was arrested on charges of treason for negotiating with the Dalek Emperor, he became Coordinator again but was demoted once more when Rassilon pardoned her. He investigated the murder of a Chancellery Guard, discovering the culprit to be a future version of General Trave. He and agent Eris pursued the future Trave, resulting in him being mortally wounded. Before he died, Trave gave him a recording which he and Romana discovered was from a future version of Narvin, warning his past self that Rassilon’s regime would lead to Gallifrey’s downfall. (AUDIO: Havoc [+]Loading...["Havoc (audio story)"])

Romana sent him and Eris to Ysalus to tip the balance of the planet’s civil war to ensure a more favourable side emerged, to prevent the Daleks’ obtaining the planet’s resources in the future. He encountered a War Council agent who had been assigned the same mission, but discovered she had been ordered to make contact with partisans of the other side of the war. Their actions inadvertently led to the war escalating, forcing the CIA to place the planet in a time freeze to prevent its devastation. (AUDIO: Partisans [+]Loading...["Partisans (audio story)"])

When the time freeze around Ysalus was breached, Narvin worked with General Dalia to help organise an evacuation of the planet. They were successful in evacuating a few hundred of the natives before the War Council erased the planet from time. Afterwards Dalia disappeared and Narvin asked Cardinal Mantus about him. Mantus informed him there was no longer a General Dalia on the War Council or even on Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Collateral [+]Loading...["Collateral (audio story)"])

Taking him on an excursion far from the Capitol, Romana asked him to join her plot to assassinate Rassilon, after learning he’d deliberately breached the time freeze to make an example of Ysalus. Though he sympathised with her reasons, Narvin refused. Rassilon and Mantus began attempting to win him round to their faction. Rassilon met him, compli.menting him on organising the mission to avert the Daleks’ creation, and appointed him to the War Council. Mantus revealed the whereabouts of Ace, safe in Earth’s time lock, and that there was a way to restore his regenerations, however Narvin interrupted the process midway. Believing something was amiss, he rushed to Romana’s side just as her plot to assassinate Rassilon failed. He stood by her, so Mantus exiled him along with her, forcing them to depart Gallifrey in a TARDIS. (AUDIO: Assassins [+]Loading...["Assassins (audio story)"])

Exile in the Time War[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin and Romana during their exile. (AUDIO: Time War: Volume Three)

Romana and Narvin landed Dreadnought Septima after escaping one of skirmishes in the war. Finding that there were TARDISes on board they hoped to get spare parts for their now damaged TARDIS. He thought he saw other versions of Romana and himself. They discovered the results of Project Fury and how it related to the Sicari. He took a lot of equipment from one of the broken TARDIS including a Chameleon Arch. He tried to kill Qatal with a time grenade but that made things worse. They escaped the collapsing ship and replaced the broken dematerialisation circuit. (AUDIO: Hostiles [+]Loading...["Hostiles (audio story)"])

Trying to trace Leela, something went wrong with the signal and they decided to land on Njagilheim which proved a bit difficult. What was happening reminded him of a test at the academy, which he never understood. He captured a random goat which belonged to Agata. He later heard the sound of children and a forge. When Romana heard screaming, he only heard laughter. Leela's signal still kept appearing and disappearing. He theorised if the temporal storm caused the loop. Romana told her that the Orrovix was what was hunting her. They managed to escape the time loop and the Orrovix before it collapsed. (AUDIO: Nevernor [+]Loading...["Nevernor (audio story)"])

At some point in their exile Narvin and Romana encountered agents of the resistance and were told the location of their base. (AUDIO: Deception [+]Loading...["Deception (audio story)"])

They tracked down Leela on Unity, however she was reluctant to leave as she’d begun helping a family there. Local crime boss Jarred McKenzie noticed their TARDIS and attempted to use it as leverage with the Daleks, bringing Unity to their attention. The Daleks tracked down the Time Lords, with Romana deciding to stay and face them whilst Narvin and Leela fled with Rayo in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: Unity [+]Loading...["Unity (audio story)"]

Working with the resistance[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Information from Manoeuvres & Damned If You Don’t needs to be added

Narvin took Rayo and Leela to the resistance, demanding to meet the resistance council. (AUDIO: Deception [+]Loading...["Deception (audio story)"]) Daleks, pursuing Romana’s associates from Unity, attacked the base forcing Narvin and Rayo to flee in their TARDIS, with Rayo furious that he left Leela behind though Narvin was certain she’d escaped another way. They were ambushed by Daleks as they escaped, with their TARDIS sustaining major damage. Narvin managed to get it to the Patrex Chapter retreat on Micallon, where the Apothecary agreed to repair it. A Hunter Dalek followed him and attacked them, but together they destroyed it. Rayo persuaded him to rejoin the resistance however Narvin insisted he stay behind on Micallon, now hidden from the War by its shield. (AUDIO: Dissolution [+]Loading...["Dissolution (audio story)"]) Narvin made contact with Leela and Eris and agreed to help the resistance’s plan to pollute the Time Vortex with energies from a deception field via the Untempered Schism. (AUDIO: Deception [+]Loading...["Deception (audio story)"])

The resistance built a stealth Battle TARDIS primed to detonate which Narvin and Leela flew into Kasterborous. As they approached Gallifrey they overheard a Dalek saucer broadcasting an ultimatum to Gallifrey with Romana as their spokesperson. Narvin reluctantly let Leela use a short range teleport to infiltrate the saucer so she could rescue Romana. He intercepted Livia and Mantus’ Battle TARDIS after Rassilon ordered them on a suicidal attack on the Daleks. They revealed the Daleks had null zone technology aboard, which would enable them to time travel without the Vortex and to bypass Gallifrey’s defences. Realising the resistance’s plan to deprive both sides of time travel was impossible now, Narvin decided to stop the Daleks and took the Battle TARDIS to the Dalek saucer.

Aboard the saucer, Narvin, Mantus and Livia were pursued by Daleks and encountered Romana and Leela. With Mantus exterminated and Livia wounded, Narvin and Livia decided to stop the Daleks’ imminent attack on the Capitol by detonating the Battle TARDIS by their null zone power source, insisting Romana and Leela escape without them. Leela gave him her teleport in the hopes he could escape the detonation, however it failed due to interference. Moments before the explosion, Narvin was contacted by Eris. The TARDIS’ explosion tore apart the saucer and deprived the Daleks of null zone technology, saving Gallifrey, (AUDIO: Homecoming [+]Loading...["Homecoming (audio story)"]) whilst Narvin escaped with Eris’ aid.

Narvin continued working with the resistance for 70 years, during which he retrieved an old TARDIS modified by Ace that had been destined for scrap. On a mission for the resistance, he sabotaged a Dalek ship and discovered details of Operation Intercept. Narvin subsequently travelled to the newly-restored Phaidon to find the Time Lord artefact the Daleks had brought the planet back to intercept. He encountered Leela on the same mission for the War Council and she told him what had become of her and Romana. Together they helped a Warpwright use the artefact to save her surviving people from the Daleks and left it with her, though Narvin did suggest keeping it in hopes of saving Romana with it. He met with Leela at his TARDIS after she told the General the artefact was destroyed. The General interrupted their conversation, indicating he knew Leela had lied but didn't intend to tell anyone about it or Narvin's presence. Narvin and Leela then parted ways, as she returned to Gallifrey. (AUDIO: The First Days of Phaidon [+]Loading...["The First Days of Phaidon (audio story)"])

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

After the Time War, Leela acknowledged Narvin among those who were "gone" whilst speaking with the Tenth Doctor. (AUDIO: Splinters [+]Loading...["Splinters (audio story)"])

Alternate timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

In an alternate timeline within the Axis in which the Time Lords regularly altered history through the Temporal Intervention Agency, Narvin served as the Interrogator General under Lady President Romana until he was murdered by Leela, who succeeded him in that position. (AUDIO: Disassembled [+]Loading...["Disassembled (audio story)"])

In another alternate timeline within the Axis, Sir Narvin served Queen Romana on a Gallifrey where magic was the way of life. He married Leela however she was killed by the Great Beast. When Braxiatel from the primary timeline arrived on this Gallifrey, Sir Narvin distrusted him but reluctantly followed the Queen’s orders to take him along on the hunt for the Beast. The pair came to an understanding on the journey and worked together against the Beast. (AUDIO: The Questing Beast [+]Loading...["The Questing Beast (audio story)"])

In another alternate timeline within the Axis in which Rassilon had failed to finish the Eye of Harmony before his death, a version of Narvin served as High Chancellor. When Romana from the main timeline attempted to take the place of her recently assassinated counterpart, Narvin worked out who she was and forced her to help complete the Eye of Harmony. When she realised the incomplete Eye was actually a prison for the Krilig, this Narvin gave his life to prevent their escape and save Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Forever [+]Loading...["Forever (audio story)"])

Several alternative iterations of Narvin were encountered by a version of the Master from the Unbound Universe during the temporal shockwave caused by the War Master’s interference in the Daleks' creation. One version of Narvin was a farmer on a Gallifrey still at a medieval level of technology while another showed their incumbent regeneration to be a woman. (AUDIO: Shockwave [+]Loading...["Shockwave (TWM audio story)"])

In an alternate timeline in the Beyond, President Romana ordered Narvin to lead the Dreadnought Servia to destroy the Cannavar system, to strike back against an enemy who had killed Leela whilst attacking Gallifrey. After firing a warhead to destroy the star, he had the crew evacuate to try to escape whilst he stayed behind. This version of Narvin encountered Romana and Braxiatel from the proper timeline, who were travelling through the Beyond, and let them use his TARDIS. He was killed by the Ravenous, who were pursuing Romana and Braxiatel. (AUDIO: Beyond [+]Loading...["Beyond (audio story)"])

In another reality, Narvin retrieved the Fourth Doctor after he carried out his mission to wipe out the Daleks at their creation. He informed the Doctor the mission had resulted in a Time War and supplied him with an elixir so he could regenerate into a warrior. Alongside the Warrior, he subsequently oversaw the killing of an aberrant version of the Sixth Doctor. (AUDIO: Dust Devil [+]Loading...["Dust Devil (audio story)"]) In a timeline sealed by the Warrior and the Master, the Time War resulted in this Narvin serving the Unified Skaroan Alliance who had taken control of time. (AUDIO: Aftershocks [+]Loading...["Aftershocks (audio story)"]) During the Warrior's presidency, Narvin was captured and killed by the Difference Office after he attempted to travel back in time to stop his younger self committing atrocities in the Time War. (AUDIO: The Difference Office [+]Loading...["The Difference Office (audio story)"])

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin (AUDIO: Gallifrey VI)

Romana once described Narvin as "a CIA half-wit". (AUDIO: Second Sight [+]Loading...["Second Sight (audio story)"]) Matthias called Narvin the "Black Sheep" of the Patrexes. (AUDIO: Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"]) Braxiatel said that he had an "intelligent, quick and very, very devious mind". (AUDIO: Lies [+]Loading...["Lies (audio story)"])

Before eventually becoming friends with Leela and Romana, (AUDIO: Extermination [+]Loading...["Extermination (audio story)"]) Narvin was concerned with his own survival above all else, (AUDIO: The Quantum Possibility Engine [+]Loading...["The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)"], Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"]) and was fanatically loyal to the Celestial Intervention Agency, refusing to hear a bad word about the organisation. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"]) He thought nothing of committing genocide to safeguard the Time Lords, to the Unbound Doctor's fury, (AUDIO: Gallifrey [+]Loading...["Gallifrey (audio story)"]) and later admitted to having taken pride in erasing an entire planet from existence, after deeming their continued existence a potential threat. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"])

At this point, from only one conversation, the Shade of Portent saw Narvin as an arrongant, pompous egomaniac, much like his peers in the Capitol. He was tactless about social status with his underlings. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"])

Narvin regarded the Doctor as a criminal, though conceded he'd helped save Gallifrey many times. He was somewhat awed by the Fourth Doctor, (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"]) but was dismissive of the Seventh Doctor and didn't like to be compared to him; this also extended to gadgets. When Melanie Bush was manipulated into handing the Doctor, Ace and the TARDIS over to Dogbolter, Narvin broke him out of prison with his own version of a sonic screwdriver. Narvin was annoyed when the Doctor hinted that he'd been inspired by the Doctor's own sonic screwdriver, even going as far as to claim it was a "sonic lockpick". (AUDIO: The Quantum Possibility Engine [+]Loading...["The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)"]) Narvin was equally dismissive of the Unbound Doctor, claiming he no more belonged on Gallifrey than his prime counterpart. (AUDIO: Gallifrey [+]Loading...["Gallifrey (audio story)"])

Narvin was also dismissive of the Doctor's human companions, (AUDIO: The Quantum Possibility Engine [+]Loading...["The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)"]) deciding to treat Adric as he would a time tot. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"]) He stated the Doctor only kept them around to stroke his ego because they kept making poor observations and asked what he considered stupid questions. (AUDIO: The Quantum Possibility Engine [+]Loading...["The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)"]) He showed more respect towards Bernice Summerfield, believing she would be a delightful opponent in court, however she came to dislike his attitude and finally punched him after he revealed how he'd manipulated the Unbound Doctor so he could wipe out the Now to save Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Gallifrey [+]Loading...["Gallifrey (audio story)"]) Later in life, Narvin worked well with Ace, though was sometimes bemused by her Earth expressions. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"])

Narvin and Leela shared an association, even a mutual respect for one another, (AUDIO: Annihilation [+]Loading...["Annihilation (audio story)"]) partially through the status that Leela held due to her husband Andred and through her friendship with Romana. Particularly during the civil war and after, with most of their other confidantes either exiled or locked up or dead, Leela often (if a little reluctantly) went to him for advice whereas Narvin often went to Leela for errands which he could not trust to anyone else. (AUDIO: Fractures [+]Loading...["Fractures (audio story)"], Warfare [+]Loading...["Warfare (audio story)"]) Later in life, Narvin credited Leela with helping him become a better Time Lord and showed affection towards her. (AUDIO: Erasure [+]Loading...["Erasure (audio story)"]) He was furious when Romana's decision to use the War Master for a mission during the Time War led to Leela being lost. (AUDIO: The Devil You Know [+]Loading...["The Devil You Know (audio story)"])

Narvin was initially highly sceptical of Romana during her presidency, triggering an inquiry to try to prove her decisions during the Timonic Fusion Device crisis on Gryben were flawed, (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice [+]Loading...["Weapon of Choice (audio story)"]) and feeding intelligence to Darkel during her campaign against Romana, though later came to regret this decision when he realised how Darkel had used it. (AUDIO: Imperiatrix [+]Loading...["Imperiatrix (audio story)"]) He eventually stood by Romana during the civil war, (AUDIO: Fractures [+]Loading...["Fractures (audio story)"]) and they became closer whilst in the Axis, with him seeming extremely concerned for Romana's safety after she was stripped of her rank. (AUDIO: Annihilation [+]Loading...["Annihilation (audio story)"])

He was eventually willing to make great sacrifices to save Romana, both because he felt Gallifrey needed her and because he came to realise he needed her. (AUDIO: Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"]) Though he'd initally refused to partake in her plot, Narvin ultimately chose to stand with Romana after her failed assassination of Rassilon, resulting in him sharing her exile. (AUDIO: Assassins [+]Loading...["Assassins (audio story)"]) Later in the Last Great Time War, he joined the resistance, believing that the Time Lords — as well as the Daleks — needed to be stopped. (AUDIO: The First Days of Phaidon [+]Loading...["The First Days of Phaidon (audio story)"] et al.)

Narvin was scared of spiders. (AUDIO: Forever [+]Loading...["Forever (audio story)"]) He was patient and diplomatic when it came to establishing long-lasting formal alliances. He chastised Eris for being too strong-headed. (AUDIO: Collaborators [+]Loading...["Collaborators (audio story)"])

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Narvin had short hair and a clean-shaven face. (AUDIO: The Questing Beast [+]Loading...["The Questing Beast (audio story)"]) He wore a white robe (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"]) and a CIA tabard whilst on Gallifrey, (AUDIO: Damned If You Don't [+]Loading...["Damned If You Don't (audio story)"]) swapping it for a hat and a leather coat during a mission to 1939 Earth. (AUDIO: A Blind Eye [+]Loading...["A Blind Eye (audio story)"]) Following his exile, he wore a black leather jacket. (AUDIO: Damned If You Do [+]Loading...["Damned If You Do (audio story)"])
