According to secret information found by the [[Spy Master]] in the depths of [[the Matrix]], '''Tecteun''' was a [[Shobogan (species)|Shobogan]] and one of the first inhabitants of [[Gallifrey]] to explore other [[planet]]s. After becoming the adoptive [[parent]] of the [[Timeless Child]], a mysterious being who eventually became [[the Doctor]], she extracted the [[regeneration code]] from her [[child]], splicing it into her own body and into other Shobogans'. In the process, Tecteun [[Regeneration|regenerated]] into a male [[incarnation]] and became one of the [[Founders of Gallifrey|Founding Fathers of Gallifrey]].


When Tecteun discovered the child's ability to [[regenerate]], she injected herself with the genes which had been spliced from the child and immediately regenerated into a male incarnation. Tecteun later gave her people living in the [[Capitol]] this gene so that they would be able to regenerate and become [[Time Lord]]s.
