One incarnation of the Time Lord Andredocelus (Andred for short) was Commander of the Chancellery Guard. Prior to his regeneration, he married Leela.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

As Commander[[edit] | [edit source]]

Andred was Commander of the Chancellery Guard. (TV: The Invasion of Time) He did not care for Spandrell's successor as Castellan, Kelner, and ensured that his duties kept him away from his desk at the Castellan's suite of offices so as to avoid him. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time)

Andred arrested the Fourth Doctor due to his unauthorised TARDIS use and found himself attracted to Leela, (TV: The Invasion of Time) who was a far cry to the Time Ladies he met in the Capitol. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time) He became loyal to the Doctor after he declared himself President-elect and accompanied Leela to his induction ceremony, searching for her her escape when the Doctor ordered her expelled from the city. He looked inside the Doctor's TARDIS and was stunned by K9 Mark I.

When Andred awoke, the Vardans had taken over the Capitol. He began to raise a rebel force to kill the Doctor and attempted to assassinate him himself, but K9 stunned him and, when he came to, the Doctor explained that he was not a traitor. Andred worked with the Doctor, Leela, K9 and Rodan to defeat the Vardans and the Sontarans, after which Leela chose to remain on Gallifrey, as did K9, due to her feelings for him. (TV: The Invasion of Time)

Life with Leela[[edit] | [edit source]]

According to one account, Andred went on to become Castellan and sat on the Inner Council, (PROSE: Lungbarrow) although others say that he remained Commander. (AUDIO: Lies, etc.) He married Leela (TV: Arc of Infinity, etc.) and taught her how to use a staser. (AUDIO: Extermination) Following an incident in the Death Zone, Andred led a clean-up operation with K9 to dispose of the remaining creatures. (AUDIO: Time in Office)

According to some accounts, Leela became pregnant with Andred's child. (PROSE: Lungbarrow, Jealous, Possessive) K9 believed that Andred was unhappy due to this and told K9 Mark II that he had been "going around disconsolately, muttering, and shaking his head". (PROSE: Jealous, Possessive) According to most accounts, the couple did not have a child. (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice, etc.)

Andred told Leela stories about the Vampires and how Rassilon had killed them all. Leela enjoyed these stories. (AUDIO: Annihilation) He also told her about the transduction barrier, which he described as a moat. (AUDIO: Renaissance)

Andred learnt of a neo-conservative, isolationist movement and investigated its leaders, coming to believe that the Celestial Intervention Agency was involved. He contacted Narvin, pretending that his relationship with Leela had taught him the incompatibility of Time Lords and off-worlders, and arranged a meeting with him. (AUDIO: A Blind Eye)

Death[[edit] | [edit source]]

Andred arranged to meet with Narvin in the old city beneath the Capitol and lay in wait. He jumped out to attack Narvin but found that it was Torvald, with whom he entered into a shootout. He killed Torvald but, badly wounded himself, he regenerated into a new incarnation. (AUDIO: A Blind Eye)

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Andred was a "handsome young Time Lord". (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time)

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Andred saw himself as a soldier and felt that it was his duty to serve the ruler of Gallifrey, going so far as to touch the butt of his staser as a threat when Kelner insulted and disobeyed the President-elect. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time) However, after the Vardans arrived, he decided to break his oaths and kill the Doctor. (TV: The Invasion of Time)

Andred was attracted to Leela due to her being more "vital and alive" than the Time Ladies of the Capitol. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time) Leela described this incarnation of her husband as "brave, kind [and] truthful". (AUDIO: Insurgency) When the Fourth Doctor gave him a yellow jelly baby to eat, Andred found it "delicious". The Doctor said that, if he liked jelly babies, he could not be all bad. (TV: The Invasion of Time)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Christopher Tranchell has his first name billed as "Christopher" on-screen for The Invasion of Time parts one and two; and as "Chris" on-screen for parts three to six, and in Radio Times for all six episodes.
At the end of Lungbarrow, the Seventh Doctor learns that Leela is carrying Andred's child. Noting that half-human, half-Gallifreyan is an "unusual pedigree", the Doctor tells her to "just call him after me". The implication is that the child will eventually travel back in time and become the Other, who ultimately dissolves himself in the Loom network to be reborn as the Doctor. Marc Platt later confirmed this: "I don't know whether anybody picked up on that little hint that this is actually a time loop! ... Yup! I'm very naughty! Leela and Andred are ... Oh, dear! Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it? The implications are far too horrific to contemplate!" (DWM 305)

 == Biography ==
-=== Early life ===
+=== As Commander ===
-Andredaselus ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'') came from the [[Gallifreyan]] [[Great House]] known either as the [[House of Redlooms]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') or the [[House of Deeptree]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'')
+Andred was [[Commander]] of the [[Chancellery Guard]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'') He did not care for [[Spandrell]]'s successor as [[Castellan]], [[Kelner]], and ensured that his duties kept him away from his [[desk]] at the Castellan's suite of [[office]]s so as to avoid him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time]]'')
-Like all [[Time Lord]]s, Andred was taken from his family at the age of eight for the selection process in the [[Drylands]]. Starring into the [[Untempered Schism]] as part of a Time Lord initiation rite, Andred was inspired by what he saw in the Schism. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'')
+Andred arrested the [[Fourth Doctor]] due to his unauthorised [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] use and found himself attracted to [[Leela]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'') who was a far cry to the Time Ladies he met in [[the Capitol]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time]]'') He became loyal to the Doctor after he declared himself [[President-elect of the High Council of Time Lords|President-elect]] and accompanied Leela to his induction ceremony, searching for her her escape when the Doctor ordered her expelled from the city. He looked inside the Doctor's TARDIS and was stunned by [[K9 Mark I]].
-=== During the Vardan invasion ===
+When Andred awoke, the [[Vardan]]s had taken over the Capitol. He began to raise a rebel force to kill the Doctor and attempted to [[assassination|assassinate]] him himself, but K9 stunned him and, when he came to, the Doctor explained that he was not a traitor. Andred worked with the Doctor, Leela, K9 and Rodan to defeat the Vardans and the [[Sontaran]]s, after which Leela chose to remain on Gallifrey, as did K9, due to her feelings for him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'')
-Andred was a Commander of the [[Chancellery Guard]]. He organised the Time Lords opposed to the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s [[Lord President|presidency]] after he had helped the [[Vardan]]s invade. He attempted to kill him as a traitor but later aided him once his true intentions became apparent. [[Leela]] fell in love with Andred and stayed on [[Gallifrey]] with him, accompanied by [[K9 Mark I]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'')
 === Life with Leela ===
-Most accounts agreed that Andred was eventually made [[Castellan]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pandora (audio story)|Pandora]]'')
+According to one account, Andred went on to become Castellan and sat on the [[Inner Council]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') although others say that he remained Commander. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'', etc.) He married Leela ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'', etc.) and taught her how to use a staser. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'') Following an incident in the [[Death Zone]], Andred led a clean-up operation with K9 to dispose of the remaining creatures. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time in Office (audio story)|Time in Office]]'')
-At some point, he and Leela got married. ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'') One account also stated that Leela then became pregnant by him, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') while several others contradicted this. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'', ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'', etc.)
+According to some accounts, Leela became pregnant with Andred's child. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', ''[[Jealous, Possessive (short story)|Jealous, Possessive]]'') K9 believed that Andred was unhappy due to this and told [[K9 Mark II]] that he had been "going around disconsolately, muttering, and shaking his head". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jealous, Possessive (short story)|Jealous, Possessive]]'') According to most accounts, the couple did not have a child. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'', etc.)
-Following an [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|incident]] in the [[Death Zone]], Andred led a clean up with [[K9 Mark I]] in order to dispose of what creatures remained there. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time in Office (audio story)|Time in Office]]'')
+Andred told Leela stories about the [[Great Vampire|Vampires]] and how [[Rassilon]] had killed them all. Leela enjoyed these stories. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Annihilation (audio story)|Annihilation]]'') He also told her about the [[transduction barrier]], which he described as a [[moat]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Renaissance (audio story)|Renaissance]]'')
-Andred taught Leela how to operate a [[staser]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'')
+Andred learnt of a [[neo-conservatism|neo-conservative]], isolationist movement and investigated its leaders, coming to believe that the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] was involved. He contacted [[Narvin]], pretending that his relationship with Leela had taught him the incompatibility of Time Lords and off-worlders, and arranged a meeting with him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
-=== Going undercover ===
-After spending many years with Leela, Andred became suspicious of certain activities by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], and in particular suspected Coordinator [[Narvin]] of violent anti-[[Alien]] tendencies, in contradiction to [[Romana II|President Romana]]'s new policies. He made attempted overtures towards Narvin, claiming that his wife Leela had shown him the incompatibility of off-worlders living on Gallifrey. Narvin easily saw through Andred's ruse, and when Andred invited Narvin to meet him in the Citadel catacombs, he guessed that Andred might try to [[Assassination|assassinate]] him. He sent his most trusted agent, [[Torvald|Commander Torvald]], in his place.
-In the confrontation, Andred and Torvald shot each other. Torvald was killed outright while Andred was forced to regenerate. Sensing an opportunity, Andred changed clothes with the unrecognisable corpse of Torvald and claimed his identity when found by guards. Believing Andred killed, Narvin covered up the incident and denied all knowledge of why Andred had suddenly disappeared, before eventually telling Leela that he had been killed by Torvald. Andred, meanwhile, continued to act as Narvin's loyal henchman in the hopes of uncovering any plot, sometimes working with Presidential bodyguard Leela. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
-He was sent to the third moon of [[Kikrit]] to investigate a potential source of weapons-grade [[chronon]]s before they were stolen by [[Nepenthe]]. He was sent by Narvin with Leela to [[Gryben]] to find Nepenthe and the [[Timonic Fusion Device]]. On Gryben, he met with [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]], who knew of Torvald. This blew their cover. Shortly afterwards he went to the human enclave and begged [[Nepenthe]] for his life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'')
-He was tasked in retrieving the Timonic Fusion device from Gryben whilst Leela was observing. After returning to Gallifrey, he was then told to arrest [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] for his illegal interference in time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'')
-=== Exposure and aftermath ===
-Andred went with Narvin to investigate a temporal anomaly in [[1939]]. When Narvin asked him to escort Romana to her presidential TARDIS, he shot him to try and keep his secret. He finally revealed the truth to Leela, Narvin and Romana when they went back in time and confronted the real Torvald on one of his missions at a point before his death. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
-Andred was arrested and imprisoned for his deception and earned the hatred of Leela for letting her believe he was dead. In his cell, he was visited by [[Inquisitor]] [[Darkel]] who conspired with him. She allowed him to escape, and after Andred visited the Archivist to collect evidence, Darkel had the Archivist murdered and Narvin framed Andred for the crime, forcing Andred to go on the run for some time, hunted by Leela. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'') While in hiding, Andred caught one of the off-world students, [[Gillestes]], about to introduce a [[Free Time]] virus to the water supply of the citadel. He handed her over to [[Wynter]], Andred's successor as Castellan following his original disappearance, in return for a pardon. After Wynter was attacked by the [[Pandora]] creature and mistakenly drank the quarantined Free Time virus, Lord Chancellor Braxiatel appointed Leela as his interim replacement. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pandora (audio story)|Pandora]]'')
-After Braxiatel's exile, Darkel returned Andred to the post of Castellan. He spent his time capturing students at the Academy, accusing them of being terrorists. He warned [[Taylor Addison]] that he needed to choose his battles well and helped [[Neeloc]] after he was attacked by his fellow Time Lords. He explained to Leela that he was trying to become the man she once loved again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'')
 === Death ===
-Not long afterwards, Taylor tried to locate the [[Key of Rassilon]]. While trying to prevent him, Andred was stabbed through both hearts by Romana, acting under the influence of Pandora. Leela once again grieved for her husband, who was buried outside of the city walls, and began to wish that she could join him in death. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'')
+Andred arranged to meet with Narvin in the old city beneath the Capitol and lay in wait. He jumped out to attack Narvin but found that it was [[Torvald]], with whom he entered into a shootout. He killed Torvald but, badly wounded himself, he [[regeneration|regenerated]] into [[Andred (Weapon of Choice)|a new incarnation]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
-== Alternative timelines ==
+== Appearance ==
-In [[Gallifrey (Reborn)|an alternative timeline]] in which it was standard policy for the Time Lords to sell their temporal technology to the highest bidder and [[regeneration]]s could be extracted and sold, Andred married [[Romana I#Alternative timeline|Romana]], who never travelled with the Doctor, and they had a son named [[Antonin]]. After his death, his widow resided in her ancestral home, the [[House of Heartshaven]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'')
+Andred was a "handsome young Time Lord". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time]]'')
